The threat to the doubters

Yet they are lost in doubt and play.

So watch for the day when the sky begins to emit clear smoke,

Which would envelope mankind. That would be a grievous affliction.

"O Lord, take away this torment from us," (they will pray); "we have come to believe."

How can a warning benefit them? The Apostle who explained all things clearly had come to them,

But they turned away from him, and said: "He is well-instructed, (but) possessed."

If We remove the torment a little, you revert back (to misdeeds).

The day that We shall seize them with a grievous hold, We will indeed castigate them.
