فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

The reason why even confirmed atheists have been found to cry to God for help when Divine punishment overtakes them, is that at such a dreadful time, man becomes not only conscious of his own utter helplessness but also of the might and power of a Higher Being.

English - Short Commentary Translation

So when Our punishment came upon them, their cry was nothing but that they said, [a]‘We were indeed wrongdoers!’[945]

21:15.

The reason, why even confirmed atheists have sometimes been found to cry to God for help when punishment overtakes them, is that at such a dreadful time realization comes to man not only of his own utter helplessness but also of the might and power of a Higher Being.

21:15.

即使是最坚定的无神论者, 当遭受到惩罚时, 有时也会看到他们呼求安拉的帮助。其理由是, 在这样一种可怕的时刻, 人类才认识到他们自己是完全无能为力的, 而且也开始认识到安拉是大力和全能的。
