2. What have the dwellers of Rass, the people of Sarum, dwellers of Aykah and the People of the Tubba been mentioned for and were destroyed by Devine punishment?
Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : Their disbelief to their Messengers
Ref: Surah Qaf 50:12-14
Arabic:
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ ١٢ وَعَادٌۭ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍۢ ١٣ وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ ۚ كُلٌّۭ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ ١٤
Translation:
Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth,˺ as did the people of the Water-pit,1 Thamûd,
’Ȃd, Pharaoh, the kinfolk of Lot,
the residents of the Forest,1 and the people of Tubba’.2 Each rejected ˹their˺ messenger, so My warning was fulfilled.
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
These verses list past nations who denied their prophets, such as the people of Noah, ‘Ad, Thamud, and others.
-
Their rejection of the truth serves as a warning to the Quraysh who disbelieved in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
-
Despite being powerful and numerous, those nations were destroyed for their arrogance and disbelief.
-
Allah reminds that denying the message has always led to destruction and regret.
-
The repetition emphasizes that disbelief in the resurrection and messengers brings inevitable punishment.
