The Aya
says:
So when
he saved them, then they are corrupting in the land without right. O you people, your corruption harms only
yourselves, a limited fulfillment in this life then towards us is your return,
so we inform you of what you were doing.
My
personal note:
There
is an important lesson in this verse.
The lesson is that acts of corruption and aggression harm the
perpetrator more than anybody else. Unfortunately, we rarely pay attention.
