﴿وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ﴾
[ ص: 88]

38:88 And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."

And you will assuredly come to know O disbelievers of Mecca its tiding the news of its truth in due time’ that is to say on the Day of Resurrection ‘ilm ‘knowing’ is here being used in the sense of ‘urf ‘experience’; the prefixed lām in la-ta‘lamunna ‘you will assuredly know’ is for an implicit oath in other words what is meant is wa’Llāhi la-ta‘lamunna ‘By God you will assuredly know’.

And you -people- who refuse to acknowledge it shall come to know in due course the truth of its precepts, its premises and promises and of its revelations the cosmic and the spiritual alike

(38:88) You will know the truth of the matter after a while.' *73

And you will surely know [the truth meaning

*73) That is, " Those of you who live will see for themselves within a few years that what I am saying is fulfilled; those who die will come to know as soon as they pass through the gate of death that the truth is the same which I am preaching. "

( And ye will come in time to know the Truth thereof ) you will know the Truth of the Qur’an and that which it contains of promises and threats after you believe; and it is also said: after death. Some came to know after they accepted faith: these are the believers; and some came to know after death and these are the disbelievers. Both came to know that what Allah said in the Qur’an is the Truth’.

"And you shall certainly know the truth of it after a while.
