Al-Anfal 25

Ayah 25 of 75 · Medinan

وَٱتَّقُواْ فِتۡنَةٗ لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنكُمۡ خَآصَّةٗۖ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ٢٥

And fear a trial1 which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allāh is severe in penalty.

Translation: Saheeh International (English)

1 i.e., an affliction or punishment during life upon this earth. When corruption spreads among a people, its consequences will affect everyone.

Tafsir

Beware of suffering that does not only reach those who do wrong among you, but reaches you and others as well. This is when disobedience becomes widespread and is not prevented. Be sure that Allah is strong with the punishment for those who go against Him, so beware of opposing Him.
