Transliteration:( Fahal taraa lahum min baaqiyah )
"Do you then see any remnant of them [8]?"
In this verse, Allah asks, "Do you then see any remnant of them?" This question serves as a rhetorical reminder of the complete destruction of the Aad people. Despite their great strength and power, not a single trace of them remains. Their civilization, which once stood tall and proud, has been wiped out entirely by divine punishment.
This verse also highlights a deeper concept: the vision in the verse reflects both the past and present. Although the destruction of the Aad people occurred in the past, the verse invites the listener to imagine their extinction as if witnessing it in the present. This is a reminder of the eternal relevance of Allah’s justice, as past events carry lessons for the present and future generations.
The verse serves as a warning to those who reject divine truth, urging them to reflect on the fate of the Aad people and the consequences of arrogance and disbelief. It also emphasizes that no matter how mighty one may seem, only Allah’s will remains supreme, and those who defy it will leave no remnant of their power behind.
