Maryam 19:75

Word by word

قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًا

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

قل - أيها الرسول - لهم: من كان ضالا عن الحق غير متبع طريق الهدى، فالله يمهله ويملي له في ضلاله، حتى إذا رأى - يقينا - ما توعَّده الله به: إما العذاب العاجل في الدنيا، وإما قيام الساعة، فسيعلم - حينئذ - مَن هو شر مكانًا ومستقرًا، وأضعف قوة وجندًا.
