destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth

Commentary
We
learnt in the verse before this: Holy Qur’aan is a
Revelation of the Revelations of Allah Almighty. Main difference
between other Revelations and the Holy Qur’aan is that, other
all Revelations tell nothing in words about themselves. It depends upon the
person, who recites Them that, what he understands. But Holy Qur’aan is
such a Holy Word of Allah Almighty, which explains Itself clearly
everything about Itself. Moreover, It is the tongue of the world’s entire
tongue-less Tokens of Allah Almighty. It narrates about them and
causes to draw attention not only towards them, which are present, but also
towards those Revelations, which have elapsed previously and the people have forgotten
them.
The aim
of discussion about it is that the people of the present era should know
completely Allah Almighty and His Divine Power. It has been commanded
in this verse that the people should think about the time, which was over
before them. Many other nations used to live in this world before
us. Allah Almighty bestowed upon them too much powers and strength,
which are not found in the existing people. He caused to rain for them timely
and constantly, and made them owners of the land’s production along with other
Divine Favors.
Truly, the Holy Qur’aan is
very strong source to know Allah Almighty, as it is compulsory to know
Him. No doubt, any of the wise man can get knowledge of Allah Almighty through
meditation in everything of the world but it cannot be expected that everyone
will meditate too much. Only the Holy Qur’aan is such a
Revelation, which does not remit any excuse for the human being to remain
ignorant from Allah Almighty. First of all, Its own existence of a
peculiar form in the world (being in its original form with effect from its
Revelation) is a Token like other tokens. Secondly, It explains everything
regarding Itself in Its own Words. Then, the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) is existing, Who conveyed and caused to understand It.
Even now, if anybody does not know Allah Almighty and His Divine Power,
then more sorrow and wonder will be considered as very less upon his condition.
