وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهَا وَإِلَىَّ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
And for how many a city did I prolong enjoyment while it was committing wrong. Then I seized it, and to Me is the [final] destination.
Al-Hajj 22:48
Juz 17 · Page 338Context
Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideThe dating of al-Hajj is disputed; it is generally held to contain both Meccan and Medinan verses. The verses granting the wronged believers permission to fight (39-40) are reported to have come down around the time of the Hijra. The redefinition of the pilgrimage on the axis of pure monotheism is a distinctive theme of the surah.
