Many folks were destroyed before us

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارًا وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرَ تَجْرِىمِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ 6

6a.  See they not how many a generation  We  destroyed before them, whom  We  had established in the earth as  We  have not established you, and  We  shed on them abundant showers from the sky,

6a.  ‘Alam  yaraw  kam  ‘ahlaknaa  min  qablihim-min  qarnim-makkanaa-hum  fil-‘arzi  maa  lam  numakkil-lakum  wa  ‘arsal  nas-samaaa-‘a  ‘alayhim-mid-raaraa.

Commentary

We learnt in the verse before this: Holy Qur’aan is a Revelation of the Revelations of Allah Almighty. Main difference between other Revelations and the Holy Qur’aan is that, other all Revelations tell nothing in words about themselves. It depends upon the person, who recites Them that, what he understands. But Holy Qur’aan is such a Holy Word of Allah Almighty, which explains Itself clearly everything about Itself. Moreover, It is the tongue of the world’s entire tongue-less Tokens of Allah Almighty. It narrates about them and causes to draw attention not only towards them, which are present, but also towards those Revelations, which have elapsed previously and the people have forgotten them.

The aim of discussion about it is that the people of the present era should know completely Allah Almighty and His Divine Power. It has been commanded in this verse that the people should think about the time, which was over before them. Many other nations used to live in this world before us. Allah Almighty bestowed upon them too much powers and strength, which are not found in the existing people. He caused to rain for them timely and constantly, and made them owners of the land’s production along with other Divine Favors.

                                             

Truly, the Holy Qur’aan is very strong source to know Allah Almighty, as it is compulsory to know Him. No doubt, any of the wise man can get knowledge of Allah Almighty through meditation in everything of the world but it cannot be expected that everyone will meditate too much. Only the Holy Qur’aan is such a Revelation, which does not remit any excuse for the human being to remain ignorant from Allah Almighty. First of all, Its own existence of a peculiar form in the world (being in its original form with effect from its Revelation) is a Token like other tokens. Secondly, It explains everything regarding Itself in Its own Words. Then, the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is existing, Who conveyed and caused to understand It. Even now, if anybody does not know Allah Almighty and His Divine Power, then more sorrow and wonder will be considered as very less upon his condition.
