They demand, “If only he could bring us a sign from his Lord !” Have they not ˹already˺ received a confirmation of what is in earlier Scriptures? Had We destroyed them with a torment before this ˹Prophet came˺, they would have surely argued, “Our Lord ! If only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations before being humiliated and put to shame.” Say ˹to them, O Prophet˺, “Each ˹of us˺ is waiting, so keep waiting ! You will soon know who is on the Straight Path and is ˹rightly˺ guided.” Quran 20:133~135, Surah Ta Ha

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوۡلَا یَأۡتِینَا بِءَایَةࣲ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۤۚ أَوَ لَمۡ تَأۡتِهِم بَیِّنَةُ مَا فِی ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَلَوۡ أَنَّاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُم بِعَذَابࣲ مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوۡلَاۤ أَرۡسَلۡتَ إِلَیۡنَا رَسُولࣰا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَایَـٰتِكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخۡزَىٰ قُلۡ كُلࣱّ مُّتَرَبِّصࣱ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلصِّرَ ٰطِ ٱلسَّوِیِّ وَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ
The subject matter of the Surah is to assure the Prophet and his followers that the message of the Qur’an will eventually succeed.
The story of Prophet Moses is mentioned in detail.
Then it is mentioned how the enemies of Islam are opposing it and what will be the consequences of this opposition for them.
اور کہتے ہیں کہ یہ (پیغمبر) اپنے پروردگار کی طرف سے ہمارے پاس کوئی نشانی کیوں نہیں لاتے۔ کیا ان کے پاس پہلی کتابوں کی نشانی نہیں آئی؟ اور اگر ہم ان کو پیغمبر (کے بھیجنے) سے پیشتر کسی عذاب سے ہلاک کردیتے تو وہ کہتے کہ اے ہمارے پروردگار تو نے ہماری طرف کوئی پیغمبر کیوں نہ بھیجا کہ ہم ذلیل اور رسوا ہونے سے پہلے تیرے کلام (واحکام) کی پیروی کرتے کہہ دو کہ سب (نتائج اعمال) کے منتظر ہیں سو تم بھی منتظر رہو۔ عنقریب تم کو معلوم ہوجائے گا کہ (دین کے) سیدھے رستے پر چلنے والے کون ہیں اور (جنت کی طرف) راہ پانے والے کون ہیں (ہم یا تم)
