Reflection — Ibn Kathir
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ
(And every Ummah has), meaning, each generation and nation,
أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
The first and the second verse both mentioned two crimes committed by disbelievers. They took Halal as Haram and made the Haram become Halal for themselves by themselves. The third verse (34) describes their sad end and the punishment they would have in the Hereafter. It was said:
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
