The Holy Quran 13:6 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ ٱلْمَثُلَـٰتُ ۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

Translation

(Referring to the Kuffaar mockingly asking for Allaah's punishment, Allaah says) They want to hurry evil (punishment) before the good, whereas the incidents of punishment (that came to previous nations) have passed before them (and they do realise its devastating effects) (Their demands are therefore absurd). (However,) Your Rabb is certainly forgiving towards His bondsmen despite their oppression (and does not punish them immediately). And (at the same time) your Rabb is severe in punishment (and when His punishment arrives, it cannot be turned away).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ويستعجلك المكذِّبون بالعقوبة التي لم أعاجلهم بها قبل الإيمان الذي يرجى به الأمان والحسنات، وقد مضت عقوبات المكذبين مِن قبلهم، فكيف لا يعتبرون بهم؟ وإن ربك -أيها الرسول- لَذو مغفرة لذنوبِ مَن تاب مِن ذنوبه من الناس على ظلمهم، يفتح لهم باب المغفرة، ويدعوهم إليها، وهم يظلمون أنفسهم بعصيانهم ربهم، وإن ربك لشديد العقاب على مَن أصرَّ على الكفر والضلال ومعصية الله.
