Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Learning the Lessons of the PastAllah says: will these people who deny the Messengers not learn from the nations who came before them, whom Allah destroyed for their rejection of His Messengers and their opposition to what the Messengers brought them of the straight path No trace is left of them whatsoever.هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزاً(Can you find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them) (19:98).
