Explanatory Note

The sūrah continues its discussion of what the unbelievers said about resurrection and their refusal to take the warnings of God’s impending punishment seriously: “They ask: When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say be true.” (Verse 71)

They said this whenever they were reminded of what happened to earlier communities, even though they used to pass by where they lived, such as Lot’s townships, the Thamūd’s dwellings at al-Ĥijr, the `Ād’s home at al-Aĥqāf, and the dwelling place of Sheba after it was destroyed by the floods. In ridicule they asked the Prophet when those warnings would come true? If you speak the truth, then let us have it now, or at least give us an exact timing for it.
