Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye were calling for!"

Context · verses 23–27

Hearing, sight, hearts — and the promise. Allah gave people hearing, sight and understanding, yet little do they give thanks; they ask when the Day will come, and its time is known only to Allah. Read the explanation.

تفسير ابن كثير — Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr (Arabic)

قال الله تعالى : ( فلما رأوه زلفة سيئت وجوه الذين كفروا ) أي : لما قامت القيامة وشاهدها الكفار ، ورأوا أن الأمر كان قريبا ; لأن كل ما هو آت آت وإن طال زمنه ، فلما وقع ما كذبوا به ساءهم ذلك ، لما يعلمون ما لهم هناك من الشر ، أي : فأحاط بهم ذلك ، وجاءهم من أمر الله ما لم يكن لهم في بال ولا حساب ، ( وبدا لهم من الله ما لم يكونوا يحتسبون وبدا لهم سيئات ما كسبوا وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون ) [ الزمر : 47 ، 48 ] ; ولهذا يقال لهم على وجه التقريع والتوبيخ : ( هذا الذي كنتم به تدعون ) أي : تستعجلون .
