وَضَرَبَ And Allah sets forth ٱللَّهُ And Allah sets forth مَثَلًۭا a similitude قَرْيَةًۭ (of) a town كَانَتْ (that) was ءَامِنَةًۭ secure مُّطْمَئِنَّةًۭ and content يَأْتِيهَا coming to it رِزْقُهَا its provision رَغَدًۭا (in) abundance مِّن from كُلِّ every مَكَانٍۢ place فَكَفَرَتْ but it denied بِأَنْعُمِ (the) Favors of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) Favors of Allah فَأَذَٰقَهَا so Allah made it taste ٱللَّهُ so Allah made it taste لِبَاسَ (the) garb ٱلْجُوعِ (of) the hunger وَٱلْخَوْفِ and the fear بِمَا for what كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَصْنَعُونَ do ١١٢
And Allāh presents an example: a city [i.e., Makkah] which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allāh. So Allāh made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.
