Transliteration:( Wa laqad ahlaknaaa ashyaa'akum fahal min muddakir )
"And certainly We have destroyed [68] people like you. But, is there anyone who will mind to receive warning?"
This verse reflects that the punishment faced by the disbelievers is not unique, as similar people who rejected faith have been destroyed before. It points out that despite the differences in how disbelievers may reject Allah, the nature of infidelity remains the same. Even rejecting fundamental acts of worship, like Salah, can lead to the same fate as other forms of disbelief.
The tafsir of Surah Qamar verse 51 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qamar ayat 47 which provides the complete commentary from verse 47 through 55.
(54:51) We did indeed destroy many like you.[27] Is there, then, any who will heed?
That is, ‘If you think that the world is not the Kingdom of a Wise and .lust God but the lawless empire of a blind ruler, in which man may behave and conduct himself as he likes, without any fear of accountability, history is proof and an eye-opener for you, which shows that the nations that adopted such a way of life, have been sent to their doom, one after the other.’
[1590]- i.e., those similar to you in attitude and behavior when they rejected Allāh's messengers.
