12. By this it meant physical strength. material strength equipment at the surface level is granted more than you to them. From this we learn no power can repel the punishment of Allah Almighty.

13. These historical events are well known to the people of Makkah. From this, we learn that History is a noble science and that historical events which are not contrary to the Quraan are authentic and reliable.

14. By" another generation" it meant Allah destroyed the former people. He established other people in these localities e.g. Pharoah and tyrants like the Pharoah. In some cases these colonies were never populated again e.g... the colonies of Aad and Thamud. Thus in this verse mention is not made of the absolute law.
