Farsi/Dari: Divine Retribution

Salaam,

Is there a Farsi/Dari or Arabic loan word or phrase for Divine retribution? Or maybe cosmic "payback?"

I understand that qismat means fate or destiny (maybe also luck?), but I'm assuming that's probably not what I'm looking for.

Tashakor!

    In Farsi there are a few possible words to convey the meaning of divine "retribution" or punishment/wrath.
    Mojâzât-e elâhi
    other words to replace mojazat:
    Ghazab
    oghubat
    enteghâm
    azâb
    These are all of Arabic origin.
    There's also an archaic Persian word, now only found in literature: Bâdafrah

    Choob-e khodâ is also a commonly used metaphor for God's punishment for wrongdoing.
