If یوم (day) in the preceding verse be taken to refer to the Day of Badr, the expression دون ذالک would signify the Divine punishment that overtook the Meccan disbelievers in the form of the destructive "seven year famine," etc. But if یوم refers to the Day of Judgement, the expression would mean the punishments that come upon disbelievers in this life.
