Are "those who wronged" in verse 47 of Surat At-Tur different from "the deniers" mentioned in verse 11 of the same surah, and what is the meaning of "short of that" mentioned in verse 47?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The people mentioned in the verse are the disbelievers of Quraysh. "So remind, for by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman" is a refutation of their accusations against the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he was a soothsayer, a madman, or a poet. The wrongdoers are the disbelieving deniers. "Doon Dhalik" (beyond that/less than that) includes worldly punishment such as killing, captivity, expulsion from homes, and the punishment of the grave.
