The Holy Quran 16:33 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Translation

Are they (the Kuffaar) waiting for the angels (of death) to come to them or for the order (punishment) of their Rabb to come (to them before they accept Imaan) ? Those before them behaved in the same way (they also refused to accept Imaan until it was too late). Allaah did not wrong them (because He had sent the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام to convey the message of Imaan to them) but they wronged themselves (by refusing to accept).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ما ينتظر المشركون إلا أن تأتيهم الملائكة; لتقبض أرواحهم وهم على الكفر، أو يأتي أمر الله بعذاب عاجل يهلكهم، كما كذَّب هؤلاء، وما ظلمهم الله بإهلاكهم، وإنزال العذاب بهم، ولكنهم هم الذين كانوا يظلمون أنفسهم بما جعلهم أهلا للعذاب.
