means, `just as the Word of punishment wasjustified against those of the past nations whodisbelieved, so too is it justified against thesedisbelievers who have rejected you and goneagainst you, O Muhammad, and it is even morejustified against them, because if they havedisbelieved in you, there is no certainty that theywill believe in any other Prophet.'And Allah knows best.ال َّذِینَ‏ یَحْمِلُونَ‏ الْعَرْشَ‏ وَمَنْ‏ حَوْلَهُ‏ یُسَب ِّحُونَ‏ بِحَمْدِ‏ رَب ِّهِمْ‏وَیُؤْمِنُونَ‏ بِهِ‏ وَیَسْتَغْفِرُونَ‏ لِل َّذِینَ‏ ءَامَنُواْ‏40:7 Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah)and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord,and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for thosewho believe (saying):رَب َّنَا وَسِعْتَ‏ آُل َّ شَىْءٍ‏ ر َّحْمَةً‏ وَعِلْماً‏ فَاغْفِرْ‏ لِل َّذِینَ‏ تَابُواْ‏وَات َّبَعُواْ‏ سَبِيلَكَ‏ وَقِهِمْ‏ عَذَابَ‏ الْجَحِيمِ‏"Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy andknowledge, so forgive those who repent and followYour way, and save them from the torment of theblazing Fire!رَب َّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ‏ جَن َّتِ‏ عَدْنٍ‏ ال َّتِى وَعَدْت َّهُمْ‏ وَمَن صَلَحَ‏مِنْ‏ ءَابَآئِهِمْ‏ وَأَزْوَجِهِمْ‏ وَذُر ِّی َّتِهِمْ‏40:8 Our Lord!
