Surah 44

Surah 44:37

"Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘, and those who were before them? We destroyed them. Surely they were sinners."

44.37 – Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘ . . . ?

This place or people is only mentioned here and at 50.14. Some scholars explain Tubba‘ as the title of the kings of the Ḥimyarites of South Arabia.
