The Thunder
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[13:40]
BUT WHETHER We let thee see [in thy lifetime, O Prophet, the fulfilment of] some of what We have promised them, or whether We cause thee to die [before its fulfilment] – thy duty is no more than to deliver the message; and the reckoning is Ours.


* v.40 : I.e., the calamities which, according to the last paragraph of verse 31 above, are in store for “those who are bent on denying the truth” (alladhīna kafarū).
