ﱁAnd they ask you to hastenﱂthe evilﱃbeforeﱄthe goodﱅand verilyﱆhas occurredﱇfromﱈbefore themﱉﱊ[the] similar punishmentsﱋAnd indeedﱌyour Lordﱍ(is) fullﱎ(of) forgivenessﱏfor mankindﱐforﱑﱒtheir wrongdoingﱓand indeedﱔyour Lordﱕ(is) severeﱖ(in) the penaltyﱗ
They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment rather than grace, though there have ˹already˺ been ˹many˺ torments before them. Surely your Lord is full of forgiveness for people, despite their wrongdoing, and your Lord is truly severe in punishment.

For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ˹of favour˺ until they change their own state ˹of faith˺. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him.

The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him. He sends thunderbolts, striking with them whoever He wills. Yet they dispute about Allah. And He is tremendous in might.
