Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth 1 and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
- إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا ﴿٤٠﴾
