➋ If {فَتَرَبَّصُوْا :} comes with an indicator (qarinah), then it is for continuity. Here, the indicator is that the waiting is to continue until that which is being awaited comes into existence. This command of waiting is for warning and threatening. This is called mutarakah, meaning, "We have left you in your state of waiting," because we are certain of your evil end. For similar verses, see Surah As-Sajdah (30) and Surah At-Tawbah (52). History bears witness that very soon the disbelievers came to know that the Muslims were on the right path. On the day of Badr, those who did not accept Islam, such as Abu Jahl and other leaders of disbelief and polytheism who were destroyed, and those who became Muslims, such as Abu Sufyan and Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with them both), and all those who saw with their own eyes the dominance of Islam over the Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and then over the east and west of the earth, and thus the word of Allah was fulfilled. Included in "soon you will know" is also that very soon, on the Day of Resurrection, you will attain the knowledge of certainty and the eye of certainty regarding this matter. Because {’’كُلُّ آتٍ قَرِيْبٌ‘‘} which means, "everything that is to come is near."
