أَفَمَن
يَتَّقِي
بِوَجْهِهِ
سُوءَ
الْعَذَابِ
يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ
وَقِيلَ
لِلظَّالِمِينَ
ذُوقُوا
مَا
كُنتُمْ
تَكْسِبُونَ
ʾa-fa-man yattaqī bi-wajhihī sūʾa l-ʿadhābi yawma l-qiyāmati wa-qīla li-ẓ-ẓālimīna dhūqū mā kuntum taksibūna
Is, then, one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment (and receive it) on his face, (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the wrong-doers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned!"
— Abdullah Yusufali
What! Is someone who fends off with his face the terrible punishment [meted out to him] on the Day of Resurrection…? And the wrongdoers will be told, ‘Taste what you used to earn.’
