وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

Tafsir

And We shall surely make them taste the nearer chastisement that is the chastisement of this world — in their being killed or taken captive or through years of drought and disease — before the greater chastisement the chastisement of the Hereafter that perhaps they namely those remaining of them may return to belief.
