Now, are you ˹Meccan˺ disbelievers superior to those ˹destroyed peoples˺? Or have you ˹been granted˺ immunity ˹from punishment˺ in divine Books?

Or do they say, “We are all ˹a˺ united ˹front˺, bound to prevail.”?

˹Soon˺ their united front will be defeated and ˹forced to˺ flee.¹

Better yet, the Hour is their appointed time—and the Hour will be most catastrophic and most bitter.

Indeed, the wicked are ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, and ˹are bound for˺ blazes.

On the Day they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, ˹they will be told,˺ “Taste the touch of Hell!”¹

Indeed, We have created everything, perfectly preordained.
