Show Full Scripture Context (32:26-27) — 2 Verses
أَوَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٍۚ أَفَلَا يَسۡمَعُونَ
Is it not a guide for them how many generations We have destroyed before them, (seeing that) they walk in (the midst of) their dwelling places? Surely in that are signs indeed. Will they not hear?
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلۡمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡجُرُزِ فَنُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعٗا تَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهُ أَنۡعَٰمُهُمۡ وَأَنفُسُهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا يُبۡصِرُونَ
Do they not see that We drive water to the barren earth, and bring forth crops by means of it, from which their livestock and they themselves eat? Will they not see?
Allah says: will these people who deny the Messengers not learn from the nations who came before them, whom Allah destroyed for their rejection of His Messengers and their opposition to what the Messengers brought them of the straight path? No trace is left of them whatsoever.
}Can you find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them?} (19:98). Allah says:
}in whose dwellings they do walk about} meaning, these disbelievers walk about in the places where those disbelievers used to live, but they do not see any of those who used to live there, for they have gone -
}As if they had never lived there} (11:68)
This is like the Ayat
}These are their houses in utter ruin, for they did wrong} (27:52).
}And many a township did We destroy while they were given to wrongdoing, so that it lie in ruins, and (many) a deserted well and lofty castle! Have they not traveled through the land} until: }food for their cattle and themselves? Will they not then see?}
This is like the Ayah,
}Then let man look at his food: We pour forth water in abundance .} (80:24-25).
Allah says here:
}Will they not then see?}
