Secret Meetings - Verse 8

In part nine we review verse 8 in which God says: Have you not  considered those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels, and yet  reverted to what they had been forbidden, and held secret meetings to  commit sins (such as drinking alcohol, gambling, and evading the  prayer), and for (urging one another to) offensiveness and disobedience  to the Messenger (in his commands and prohibitions. It is these very  people who) when they come to you, salute you with a salutation that  Allāh has never taught you and with which He has never saluted you, and  they say to one another (in derision): “Why does Allāh not punish us for  what we say (if Muḥammad is truly His Prophet)?” Hell will suffice  them, they will enter it to roast. How evil a destination to arrive at!
