The story of a rebellious nation in the light of the Qur'an

The event of torment on a nation in the light of the Qur'an.

About five and a half thousand years ago. There used to be a very strong nation. They were at the height of scientific progress and technological advancement. They carved the mountains in this beautiful way and built the strongest palaces and buildings. What they used to do is that today's science has overwhelmed their intellect. They were so intelligent and architects that they used to make a paradise in comparison to Allah (swt). They were very powerful and genius. Because of these characteristics, they were called the superpowers of the time.

They became rebellious because of their development, construction and features. They denied the existence of a single God. If the prophets had given them guidance, they would have ridiculed them, tortured them, and expelled them from their settlements.

The region was very green and lush. But when it was decided to punish them, they were stopped by Bakrshin, but they did not give up. The rains and the clouds turned away from them by the command of their Lord, which caused a famine. Then one day a very strange thing happened.

One day they saw a cloud of smoke rising in the sky which was rapidly moving towards them. They were very happy to see this cloud and thought that their famine is over. This cloud will rain a lot and once again They will have greenery and greenery everywhere. But it was a cloud of wrath. It was not that cloud, but it left nothing but their strong houses and palaces.

This incident is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an as follows.

And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their plains, they said: This is a cloud which shall fall upon us. Nay, but this is what you desired to hasten on. In which is a painful torment. She will destroy everything by the command of her Lord. So in the morning they became like nothing but their houses. Thus do We recompense the guilty. 24/25 Surah Al-Ahqaf

It was a strong and radioactive wind that did not allow the region to be inhabited even after thousands of years. No plants or greenery were left there and no one was left safe. It happened where the flesh was removed from the bodies of human beings passing by and only the skeleton of bones was left (like a nuclear attack, the flesh of human bodies melted and turned into steam). The wind was as sterile as the radiation that penetrates the ground of a place and makes it sterile, not allowing anything to grow.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

When We sent against them the barren. She would not leave what she passed without making it look like rotten bones. Adverbs 41/42

This radiation-like wind made their bodies look like rotten bones without flesh. Everything is gone. No oasis, no beautiful gardens, no greenery. Flying sand and human skeletons were left everywhere. The whole region is empty. Even today, only sand can be seen flying in the distance. Today, the region is known as the Quarter Empty.

Four thousand years have passed.

One day an army of the best human beings in the world passed through this area led by the best human beings in the universe. The army was coming a long way. When the lashkars saw some ruins in the area, they decided to stop there for a while to rest and eat. There was also a well. The army took water from the well, collected some dry wood and burned it to make bread and curry.

When the chief of the two worlds and the leader of the army found out about this, he ordered his companions to waste the water drawn from the well, the baked bread and the prepared curry, and not to eat or drink any of it. ... Get out of here as soon as you can, or you'll be called. Here a nation was tormented. Don't use anything here.

This food was prepared for a large army. It was a huge amount. But at the command of the Prophet (peace be upon him) all was wasted.

It was your knowledge that Allah had given you that you had discovered an unseen plague or plague in a place that was deadly to human beings.

In the Qur'an, the word Reh-ul-Aqeem is used for this wind. Reh means wind and sterile infertile woman is called man or earth.

Scholars have been searching for the meaning of the word barren for a long time, but they have not been able to find out about such a barren wind which was so deadly that it melts the flesh from the body and makes the bones rot and everything in this place is so barren. Even after thousands of years, nothing could produce anything there. In the present era when after learning about nuclear tests and their nuances the idea goes in this direction and the meanings of these verses of the Holy Quran become clear. A cloud that grows very fast. And then it wreaks havoc. Doesn't give anyone a chance to recover. Then after that there was a barrenness which destroyed everything and did not allow anything to be born there for thousands of years.

May Allah guide us all and keep the charity of our beloved safe from any such grip. Amen and Amen or the Lord of the worlds.
