[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, (72:24)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

And when it is the Day to see what has been promised, there and then shall they realize who has hardly any help to offer and has the least force of numbers

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(72:24) (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. *24

[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, meaning

*24) The background of this verse is that those of the Quraish who used to mob and surround the, Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) as soon as they heard his invitation calling to Allah, were under the delusion that they had a strong band at their back and that the Holy Prophet had only a handful of men with him, and therefore, they would easily overwhelm him. At this it is being said: Today these people find the Messenger helpless and friendless and themselves supported and strengthened by great hosts and, therefore, feel encouraged and emboldened to suppress the invitation to the Truth. But when the evil time with which they are being threatened comes, they will know who in actual fact is helpless and friendless.

(یہ لوگ اپنی اِس روش سے باز نہ آئیں گے) یہاں تک کہ جب اُس چیز کو دیکھ لیں گے جس کا اِن سے وعدہ کیا جا رہا ہے تو انہیں معلوم ہو جائے گا کہ کس کے مددگار کمزور ہیں اور کس کا جتھا تعداد میں کم ہے
