As-Sajdah 32:28 - Linguistic Miracle

They mockingly say, ‘When shall be this Victory, if you are truthful? ‘

The victory promised in verse 24 where Allah promised the believers the same as what He did with the children of Israel, but it also goes back to verse 22 where Allah said:

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَآ ۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ

Who is more in darkness than the one who, after the signs of his Rabb were strongly recounted to him, turned away from them? Indeed We, from such criminals, will take revenge. They have turned away from the signs Allah mentioned to them of the destroyed generations and the dead earth or humans coming back to life. Hence, Allah will take revenge from them. This shows that Allah will take revenge from them at the hands of the Muslims and this is exactly what happened. The use of the third person pronoun “they” for them also indicates that they have rejected these signs, because it denotes being far away and distant from Allah.

So now they mockingly say, when will this day of revenge and victory be? Based on what has already come in this surah, specifically verse 24, you can already figure out bringing faith on the day when Muslims are given victory, will not bring any benefit. It will be too late then, and this is exactly what Allah says up next.
