And he had recited it to them [perfectly],¹ they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

26:202Page 375

فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٢٠٢

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
