Ayah 50:28 — Visual Explanation

قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا لَدَيَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِالْوَعِيدِ

“He (Allah) will say: Don’t argue with each other before me and I have already presented to you the threat (or promise of punishment)”.

Day of Judgement Divine declaration Warning already delivered Futility of argument

When people come and argue on the Day of Judgement Allah will declare to them that He had already presented to them the threat of punishment in the life of this world for those who rebel and disbelieve.

As such, there is no benefit for them to argue the matter now.
