Tafsir of verse 27
Al-Mukhtasar
So when the promise will come upon them and they will see the punishment close to them on the Day of Judgement, the faces of those who disbelieved in Allah will change and become dark. And it will be said to them, “This is what you used to ask for and want hastily!”
Then when they see it7 approaching closer, the faces of the disbelievers will be distressed, and it will be said, “This is what you were asking for8.”
Notes
[7] The punishment on the Day of Judgment of which they were warned.
[8] As they were challenging their prophets, saying, "Bring upon us the punishment, if you are truthful."
But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will change and turn black with sadness and in grief and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!"
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.
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!"
But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This is that which you used to call for.
Then, as soon as they see it drawn forward, the faces of the disbelievers will be vexed, and it will be said, "This is (the thing) that you used to claim."
