Explanatory Note
Ayahs 50-55 Communites of Old
This is a quick round, with a short pause placed where the fate of each of those old communities is mentioned, coupled with a sharp touch with which we are certain to interact. The 'Ad, Tharnad and people of Noah are well known to the reader of the Qur'an, as they are mentioned several times in this divine book. The ruined cities are those of Lot's people who were immersed in sin and went far astray. Their cities were turned upside down, but their fate is left vague here, enveloping them with whatever came over them,' to add a feeling of suspense through which we see images of ruins upon ruins, leaving nothing clear or identifiable.
