سورة القلم، الآية ٣٣
كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٣
kadhālika l-ʿadhābu walaʿadhābu l-ākhirati akbaru law kānū yaʿlamūna
Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
Verse 33 of Surah Al-Qalam (68:33), a Meccan surah, is in juz 29, on page 565 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
I punish those who disobey Me just like I punished these people with the punishment of depravation. And indeed, the punishment of the afterlife is greater, if only they were to know its severity and permanence.
Such is the punishment [in this world]; but the punishment of the Hereafter is far worse, if only they knew.
Such is the punishment (in this life), but truly, the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they but knew.
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter,- if only they knew!
Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know!
Thus was the torment; and the torment of the Hereafter is indeed greater, if they did know.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخِزْىَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ
So Allāh made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ
And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allāh after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.
