Surah 68. Al-Qalam, Ayah 33
| كَذَٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | ka- dhaalika al- cadhaab wa- la- cadhaab al- 'aakhirah akbar law kaano yaclamon |
| Pickthall | : | Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know. |
| Asad | : | SUCH is the suffering [with which We try some people in this world];16 but greater by far will be the suffering [which sinners shall have to bear] in the life to come - if they but knew it! |
| Malik | : | Such is the punishment in this life; but the punishment in the Hereafter is even greater, if they but knew it. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter if only they knew! 5616 |
Note - 16This connects with the first clause of verse {17} above,
which, in its turn, contains an allusion to the mentality
spoken of in verses {14-15}.

Note - 5616Even in this life the punishment for heedless or selfish
arrogance and sin comes suddenly when we least expect it.
But there is always room for Allah's Mercy if we
sincerely repent. If the Punishment in this life seems to
us so stupefying, how much worse will it be in the
Hereafter, when the Punishment will not be only for a
limited time, and the time for repentance will have
passed?
