The Thunder - 13:6
Instead of asking for good, they ask You to bring upon them a calamity at once, but examples have gone before them. Your Lord is forgiving to the people despite their wrongdoing. The torment of your Lord is severe.
They asked defiantly and mockingly for the torment they were threatened with, confident that the Messenger was a liar and that they would never be punished:
Prophet Hud/11:8
"If We delay the torment from them for a certain period, they will say: "What is holding it back?"Indeed, the Day when it comes to them, it will not be withheld from them, and what they mock at will encompass them."
The Spoils of War/8:32
"They were even saying, "Our Lord, if this is a truth from you, rain down on us stones from the sky, or bring upon us a painful torment."
Prophet Jonah/10:50
"Say: "Whether His torment comes by night or by day, why are the guilty in haste about it?"
Prophet Jonah/10:51
Will you believe in it after its fulfillment, so why do you seek it now in haste?
The Cattle/6:57
"Say: "I rely on a proof from my Lord, but you have denied it. It is not in my power to challenge him and bring what you want. The judgment is Allah´s and Allah´s alone. He tells the truth. He is the best discriminator."
The Prophets/21:38
"They challenge, "When will that promise be fulfilled if you are truthful?"
The Prophets/21:39
If only those who disbelieve knew the moment when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces and their backs, nor will they be helped.
The Pilgrimage/22:47
They challenge you to bring that torment quickly. Allah does not break His promise. A day with your Lord is like a thousand years in their reckoning.
The Poets/26:202
It will come to them suddenly, when they do not expect it.
The Poets/26:203
"Then they will say: "Are we not given a little while longer?"
The Poets/26:204
Are they still defiant against Our punishment?
The Ants/27:71
"They say, "When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are true?"
The Ants/27:72
"Say to them, "Perhaps some of what you ask in defiance has already come upon you"."
The Spider/29:53
They challenge you to bring the torment! It would have come to them but for a time which We had appointed. It will come to them suddenly, without their knowledge.
The Spider/29:54
They challenge you to bring the torment. But Hell has already encompassed the disbelievers.
The Spider/29:55
"The day will come when the torment will cover them from above them and from beneath their feet and (God will say to them): "Taste what you used to do"."
The Prostration/32:28
"They challenge, "When will that victory come, if you are truthful?"
The Prostration/32:29
"Say, "On the Day of Victory, belief will not avail the disbelievers, nor will they be given another chance."
Sheva/34:29
"They challenge you, saying: "When will that promise be fulfilled if you are truthful?"
Sheva/34:30
"Say, "You have a day appointed for you which will not be an hour late or an hour early."
Yaseen/36:48
"At the same time they challenge, "When will that promise be fulfilled if you are truthful?"
Yaseen/36:49
They are waiting for a single explosion that will seize them while they are striving.
Yaseen/36:50
They will not find time to leave a will, nor will they return to their families.
Yaseen/36:51
When the trumpet is blown, they will rise from their graves and run to their Lord.
Yaseen/36:52
"Woe to us,"they will say, "Who raised us up from where we were lying? This is what the Most Merciful had promised. So the messengers spoke the truth."
Council/42:17
It is Allah Who has sent down the Book with truth and justice. What do you know, perhaps the Hour (the end of the world) is near.
Council/42:18
Those who do not believe in it challenge about it. Those who believe in it are anxious about it and know that it is true. Those who doubt about the Hour are in great error.
The Scatterers/51:13
On that Day they will be presented to the Fire.
The Scatterers/51:14
Taste your punishment, that is what you have defied!
