Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

How Qarun and His Dwelling Place were swallowed up by the EarthAfter telling us about Qarun's conceit and pride in his adornments, and how he was arrogant towards his people and transgressed against them, Allah then tells us how he and his dwelling place were swallowed up by the earth.
