Sura 3 Ali 'Imran (Family of Imran), ayah 178

  1. وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِثْمًا ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ

    Translation by words

    وَلَا
    And (let) not
    يَحْسَبَنَّ
    think
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    كَفَرُوٓا۟
    disbelieved
    أَنَّمَا
    that
    نُمْلِى
    We give respite
    لَهُمْ
    to them
    خَيْرٌ
    (is) good
    لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ
    for themselves.
    إِنَّمَا
    Only
    نُمْلِى
    We give respite
    لَهُمْ
    to them
    لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟
    so that they may increase
    إِثْمًا
    (in) sins,
    وَلَهُمْ
    and for them
    عَذَابٌ
    (is) a punishment
    مُّهِينٌ
    humiliating.

    And let not those who disbelieve ever think that (because) We extend their time (of enjoyment) it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

    3:178
