( وقال الذين كفروا لرسلهم لنخرجنكم من أرضنا أو لتعودن في ملتنا ) يعنون : إلا أن ترجعوا ، أو حتى ترجعوا إلى ديننا . ( فأوحى إليهم ربهم لنهلكن الظالمين ) .
When those who disbelieved in Allah, from amongst the people to whom the messengers were sent, were unable to respond to the messengers’ arguments, they said: “We will drive you out from our town, or you will have to reject your religion and return to ours.” Allah then sent revelation to His messengers, as a way to strengthen them: “We will surely destroy the wrongdoers who disbelieved in Allah and His messengers.”
