Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?

Context · verses 15–18

The earth made easy — and the warning. Allah made the earth subservient so people can travel and seek provision, which does not contradict reliance on Him; yet He could cause it to swallow them, as earlier nations who denied were punished. Read the explanation.

تفسير ابن كثير — Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr (Arabic)

أم أمنتم من في السماء أن يرسل عليكم حاصبا ) أي : ريحا فيها حصباء تدمغكم ، كما قال : ( أفأمنتم أن يخسف بكم جانب البر أو يرسل عليكم حاصبا ثم لا تجدوا لكم وكيلا ) [ الإسراء : 68 ] . وهكذا توعدهم ها هنا بقوله : ( فستعلمون كيف نذير ) أي : كيف يكون إنذاري وعاقبة من تخلف عنه وكذب به .
