أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَبْلُ فَذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Has there not come to you the account of those who were faithless before? They tasted the evil consequence of their conduct, and there is a painful punishment for them.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 64:5
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 64:5] The consequences of evil manifest themselves in this very life, either in external events, or in internal agonies of conscience; but in the grievous punishment of the hereafter the evil will find its final destination. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: This verse refers to the sufferings of the infidels before the advent of Islam, and verse 15 of Hashr refers to the sufferings of the infidels after the advent of Islam as the word qariban implies.
