Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - An-Nahl : 33
هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ اَوْ یَاْتِیَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ١ؕ كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ١ؕ وَ مَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ
(O Muhammad), are they waiting for anything else than that the angels should appear before them, or that your Lord's judgement should come? 29 Many before them acted with similar temerity. And then what happened with them was not Allah's wrong-doing; they rather wronged themselves.
29. This is to admonish the unbelievers to this effect: Why are they still hesitating to accept the message which is very simple and clear? We have tried every method to present each aspect of the truth clearly with arguments and brought witnesses thereof from the whole system of the universe, and have left no room for any man of understanding to stick to shirk. Now what are they waiting for is nothing more than this that the angel of death should come before them and then they will accept the message at the last moment of their lives. Or, do they wait for the scourge of God to overtake them and make them accept the Message?
