Op die Dag wensen degenen die ongelovig zijn on de Boodschapper ongehoorzaam zijn, dat zij met aarde gelijk gemaakt waren, maar zij zullen geen feit voor Allah kunnen verbergen.
“they will wish the earth were levelled with/upon them”
This reading uses a passive imperfect verb (form II), with ‘the earth’ as its subject. The meaning of ‘levelled with’ is that the unbelievers wish to be just like the earth (i.e. the dust, see 78:40) in being unaccountable for their deeds. It may also mean that they wish they were in their graves, covered by the earth.
