Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 73 Al-Muzzammil, Ayat 17-18
فَكَيۡفَ تَتَّقُوۡنَ اِنۡ كَفَرۡتُمۡ يَوۡمًا يَّجۡعَلُ الۡوِلۡدَانَ شِيۡبَا ۖ
﴿73:17﴾
اۨلسَّمَآءُ مُنۡفَطِرٌ ۢ بِهٖؕ كَانَ وَعۡدُهٗ مَفۡعُوۡلًا
﴿73:18﴾
(73:17) If you persist in disbelieving, how will you guard yourself against
the (woe of the) Day that will turn children grey-haired,17 (73:18) the Day whose severity shall cause the heaven to split asunder? Allah's
promise is ever bound to be fulfilled.
Notes
17. That is, in the first place, you should be afraid that if you do not accept
the invitation of the Messenger (peace be upon him) sent by Us, you will have
to meet the same evil end in this world, which the Pharaoh has already met in
consequence of this very crime. But even if no torment is sent on you in the
world, how will you save yourselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection.
