📖 Commentary of Verse 16 (Surah Al-Qamar)

"Therefore, how great was My punishment, for which they had My warning."

The Greatness of Allah's Punishment
This verse reflects the severity of Allah's punishment, which was inevitable after repeated warnings. The people of Nuh (AS) had ample signs and warnings but chose to ignore them, leading to their downfall. Allah's punishment was not just a result of their rejection but also a consequence of their refusal to heed the divine warnings. It highlights the great contrast between the mercy shown to the believers and the intense punishment faced by the disbelievers.
