Explanatory Note

These two verses paint the first scene which shows Moses being given his message. It begins by exposing the people he must go to, declaring that they are ‘wrongdoing’. They do themselves a great wrong by denying God’s message, and they do much wrong to the Children of Israel, killing their men but sparing their women and inflicting much torture on them. Hence, the sūrah describes them as wrongdoing before it specifies who they are. It then calls on Moses and all people to wonder at them: “Will they have no fear of God?” Will they continue to be heedless of the likely outcome of their wrongdoing? Will they not mend their erring ways? Theirs is certainly a singular situation.
