Sura 39
Aya 40
40
مَن يَأتيهِ عَذابٌ يُخزيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيهِ عَذابٌ مُقيمٌ

Muhammad Asad

who it is that shall be visited [in this world] by suffering which will cover him with ignominy,1 and upon whom long-lasting suffering shall alight [in the life to come]!"
  • Lit., "suffering ('adhab) that will disgrace him": implying that surrender to false values inevitably leads to man's spiritual decay and, if persisted in by many, to social catastrophes and widespread suffering.
