Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

I punish those who disobey Me just like I punished these people with the punishment of depravation. And indeed, the punishment of the afterlife is greater, if only they were to know its severity and permanence.
