وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًۭا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٧
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًۭا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٧
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَلِكَAnd verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment before this;meaning, that of being the torment in this world. Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ الاٌّدْنَى دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الاٌّكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَAnd verily, We will make them taste of the near torment prior to the supreme torment (in the Hereafter), in order that they may return. (32:21)Allah said;وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَbut most of them know not.meaning, `We will torment them in the life of the world and test them with various hardships, so that they might go back and repent. However, they do not understand what is happening to them or why, because when the torment is removed, they revert to committing the worst of what they used to do before.'Ordering the Prophet to have Patience and to glorify Allah Allah the Exalted said
