Tafsir of verse 102
Al-Mukhtasar
Are these denying people waiting for something similar to what Allah imposed on the past communities who had denied? Say, O Messenger, to them, ‘Wait for Allah’s punishment. I too am waiting with you for Allah’s promise’.
Are they waiting except for the same punishment that befell those who came before them? Say, “Then wait. I too am waiting with you.”
Then do they wait for (anything) save for (a destruction) like that of the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait then, I am (too) with you among those who wait."
What expect they save the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Expect then! I am with you among the expectant.
Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."
What do they wait for then but the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Wait then; surely I too am with you of those who wait.
So do they wait for (anything) except the like of the days of the ones who passed even before them? Say, "Then wait; surely I will be with you waiting!" (Literally: of the ones (who are) waiting)
Say, "To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth?" Say, "To Allāh." He has decreed upon Himself mercy. He will surely assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Those who will lose themselves [that Day] do not believe.
