Surah Al-Hajj — 22:57

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

Wallazeena kafaroo wa kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa fa ulaaa'ika lahum 'azaabum muheen

اور جو کافر ہوئے اور ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلاتے رہے ان کے لئے ذلیل کرنے والا عذاب ہوگا

But those who denied and rejected our signs — for them is a humiliating punishment.

Reflection

This closes a triad that opened with the hour arriving without warning: doubt first, then judgment, then the two verdicts. The believers get the longer clause and the gardens; this verse gets one clause, and what it specifies is muhīn, a punishment measured in standing. Sovereignty was just said to belong to God on that day, which is what puts status at stake.
