    📖 Commentary of Surah Maryam – Verse 98

    "And how many generations We have destroyed before them. Do you perceive any of them, or hear from them a whisper [160]?"

    ✅ [160] A Silent Warning from Destroyed Nations

    This verse highlights the complete annihilation of many past nations who rejected divine guidance.

    • The absence of their voices or presence is a sign of their total destruction—not even a whisper remains.

    • Yet, the Holy Prophet ﷺ sees their punishment, such as during the Night of Me'raaj, when he was shown sinners in Hell.

    • Therefore, this verse does not negate the Prophet’s ﷺ spiritual insight or observation.

    • This rebuts the claim of those who deny the Prophet’s ﷺ access to the unseen, as the verse speaks of worldly silence, not divine concealment from the Prophet ﷺ.
