Sura 22
Aya 72
72
وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ تَعرِفُ في وُجوهِ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا المُنكَرَ ۖ يَكادونَ يَسطونَ بِالَّذينَ يَتلونَ عَلَيهِم آياتِنا ۗ قُل أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِن ذٰلِكُمُ ۗ النّارُ وَعَدَهَا اللَّهُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Yusuf Ali

When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou wilt notice a denial1 on the faces of the Unbelievers! they nearly attack with violence those who rehearse Our Signs to them. Say, “Shall I tell you of something (far) worse than these Signs?2 It is the Fire (of Hell)! God has promised it to the Unbelievers! and evil is that destination!”
  • Munkar. (1) a refusal to accept something offered; (2) a denial of something stated or pointed out; (3) a feeling of disapproval or active aversion, or disgust.
  • There is irony here. 'You think God’s revelations and Signs are distasteful to you! There will be something far more distasteful to you if you do not repent! What do you say to the inevitable Punishment?'
