Warning the Disbelievers of the imminent Torment; commanding the Prophet to pray and have PatienceAllah the Exalted asks, `how many We have destroyed before these denying disbelievers'مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشاً(a generation who were stronger in power than they.) they were more numerous, mightier than they and who constructed on the earth and built on it more than they.
