Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 48-50Verses 45-47

      Many a time, Qurän mingles sentiments with reasons, to obtain the best of training effects and results. In the previous verses the prophethood and Resurrection was under logical discussion; and now through the above verses, the tyrants and arrogant oppressors are threatened, and warned of various punishments which may afflict them due to their various sins and guilts.

      To put out the light of truth; the wickeds plot evil against the godly in secret, while God is watching them from above or from near by.... even nearer than the jugular veins of their neck! He is able to seize them in any time and in various ways. They might be taken up and swallowed by the earth, like GHÄRUN in the life time of Moses:ِ

      ``Do those who plot evil, feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to take them in.''

      Only a vibration of earthquake can split a mouth in the earth, so as to swallow man with his building and whole household! Or the sinners may be afflicted by other kinds of torment and chastisements, which they cannot expect or even dream it! Among these can we mention mysterious diseases, a sudden loss, an accident in journey or traffic, or only a slip and sliding, and then misery rides upon misfortune, and distress upon helplessness!

      God has also some slow acting and gradual punishments, which is accompanied by warning and admonishing to give a chance for return and repentance, but the good end is for those who avoid evil. When God seized not a sinner urgently he should beware of gradual warnings, because God's mill grinds slowly but sure!
