Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(27:72) Say, "No wonder that a part of the torment you wish to be hastened, may well have approached you. " *89
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*89) This is a royal way of saying a thing. When words like "perhaps", "no wonder", etc. occur in the Divine discourse, they do not contain any sense of doubt, but express Allah's Independence and Self-Sufficiency. Allah's power is so great that His willing a thing and its happening is one and the same thing. It is inconceivable that He should will a thing and it should not happen. Therefore, when He says, "No wonder it may well be so", it means, "It will certainly be so if you do not mend your ways."
