فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ
Commentary:
Twice in this brief Surah the Holy Prophet has been enjoined to wait. The Surah was revealed at Mecca. This shows that the Holy Prophet was to wait for some time before Divine punishment was to overtake the Quraish. The Muslims had to wait for 14 long years before heavenly punishment visited their persecutors and tormentors in the form of the latter’s ignominious defeat at Badr. The God of Islam is a Merciful and Compassionate God. He is quick to forgive and slow to punish.
