Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away.
iqtaraba linnaasi hisaabuhum wahum fii ghaflatin mu‘riduuna
And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas who said regarding the meaning of Allah, Exalted is He, saying: (Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind): He says: the chastisement that the people of Mecca were promised in the Book has drawn near, (while they turn away in heedlessness) while they are oblivious to it; they have disbelieved in and discarded it.
