Surah Araf ayat 182 Tafsir Quran 7:182

﴿وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 182]

7:182 But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.

And those who deny Our signs — the Qur’ān — from among the people of Mecca We will draw them on by degrees We will lead them on gradually whence they do not know.

And those who denied Our revelations and signs betokening Omnipotence and Authority, shall cast themselves headlong to Hell. We shall give them plenty of rope to allow them free scope, so that unawares to themselves, they shall commit themselves to evil

Those who reject Our Ayat, We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not ( 182 )And I respite them; certainly My plan is strong.) Allah sai ( 183 ) وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ( Those who reject Our Ayat, We shall gradually seize them in ways they perceive not ) meaning, the doors of provisions will be opened for them and also the means of livelihood, in this life.
They will be deceived by all this and think that they are on the correct path.
Allah said in another instance, فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ - فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( So, when they forgot (the warning ) with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of every ( pleasant ) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them ( in punishment ), and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrow.
So the root of the people who did wrong was cut off.
And all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.)[ 6:44-45 ].
Allah said here, وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ( And I respite them ) prolong what they are in, إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ ( certainly My plan is strong ) and perfect.

Those who reject Our Ayat, We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not ( 182 )And I respite them; certainly My plan is strong.)

( And those who deny Our revelations ) Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an. These are Abu Jahl and his followers as well as all those who make a mockery of any punishment inflicted on them ( step by step We lead them on ) We will punish them ( from whence they know not ) that the punishment is being sent to them. And indeed Allah destroyed them in one day, each of which with a different type of destruction.

Those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not.
