70. Hath not the news of those before them
reached them – the folk of Noah, Aad, Thamud, the folk of Abraham, the
dwellers of Madian and the over thrown cities? Their Messengers (from Allah)
came unto them with proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty). So Allah sure wronged
them not, but they did wrong themselves.

Lesson
God
Almighty commanded in the previous verse that condition of habitual negligence of the Hypocrites and
being entangled only in pleasantness of this life by them, is the same as of
those disobedient people, who were before them. Whereas, how much portion of
the world has been given to them, certainly that is very less than that, which
was given to those who passed away before them. But lifestyle of these people
is the same as of those. Considering that only this world is everything, and their
thinking that “being entangled in the temporal confusions is the actual gain of
life” is just like those people who have passed away.
Ultimately,
they should think about the consequence of ancient people. How they have become
fearless from it that they may also suffer from disasters as the old people
suffered. In this verse, the intention has been drawn particularly unto those
special nations, which belonged to former times.
It is
commanded: How is it possible that these people would not have known the
circumstances of those nations, which have elapsed in the countries around
their country. The folk of Noah (peace be upon him) rebelled and they were
ruined by a storm of water. The people of Aad were proud and arrogant,
so they were destroyed by wind-storm. The Thamud became obstinate;
therefore they were killed by an unseen scream. The folk of Madian, who
are also called “As-haabul Aykah” fell with the face down by earthquake
and thundering sound.
Stories of
all above mentioned people were discussed in Surah ‘A’-raaf and further
description will come about them in the next lessons also. Mu’-tafikaat is name of villages of the folk
of Lot. Land of those people was overthrown and stones were rained over them.
Allah
Almighty commands that those people were ruined due to their habitual negligence
and intransigence. We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. The Hypocrites
should fear “whether their resurrection may not be like them”.
