17:8 - It may be that your Lord may (yet) show Mercy unto you; but if ye revert (to your sins) We<br />

shall revert (to Our punishments): and We have made Hell a prison for those who reject (all<br />

Faith). 21812182<br />

20:78 - Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces but the waters completely overwhelmed them<br />

and covered them up.<br />

26:66 - But We drowned the others.<br />

26:67 - Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 3173<br />

28:40 - So We seized him and his hosts and We flung them into the sea: now behold what was the<br />

End of those who did wrong! 3373<br />

3373 Pharaoh and his hosts were drowned in the sea in their pursuit of the Israelites: see vii. 130-136. They are the type of<br />

men who lead-only to Destruction. They invite, not to Peace and Happiness, but to the Fire of Wrath, mutual Envy,<br />

and Hatred. (28.40)<br />

40:45 - Then Allah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him) but the brunt of the<br />

Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh. 4418<br />

8:54 - "(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them": they treated as<br />

false the signs of their Lord; so We destroyed them for their crimes and We drowned the<br />

people of Pharaoh: for they were all oppressors and wrong-doers. 1222<br />

10:90 - We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in<br />

insolence and spite. At length when overwhelmed with the flood he said: "I believe that there<br />

is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to<br />

Allah in Islam)." 14721473<br />

10:91 - (It was said to him): "Ah now! but a little while before wast thou in rebellion! and thou didst<br />

mischief (and violence)!<br />

11:98 -He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment and lead them into the Fire (as cattle<br />

are led to water): but woeful indeed will be this leading (and) the place led to! 1600<br />

11:99 - And they are followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the<br />

gift which shall be given (unto them<br />

COMPANIONS OF THE ROCKY TRACK:<br />

15:80 - The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the apostles: 2002<br />

2002 "The Rocky Tract" is undoubtedly a geographical name. On the maps of Arabia will be found a tract called the Hijr,<br />

north of Medinah, Jabal Hijr is about 150 miles north of Madinah. The tract would fall on the highway to Syria. This<br />

was the country of the Thamud. For them and the country see vii. 73, n. 1043. (15.80)<br />

15:83 - But the (mighty) Blast seized them of a morning 2004<br />

2004 TThe mighty rumbling noise and wind accompanying an earthquake. See vii. 78, n. 1047. (15.83)<br />

PEOPLE OF TUBBA:<br />

44:37 - What! are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We<br />

destroyed them because they were guilty of sin. 47154716<br />

4715 Tubba' is understood to be a title or family name of Himyuar kings in Yaman, of the tribe of Hamdan. The Himyar were<br />

an ancient race. At one time they seem to have extended their hegemony over all Arabia and perhaps beyond, to the<br />

East African Coast. Their earliest religion seems to have been Sabian<strong>ism</strong>, or the worship of the heavenly bodies. They<br />

seem at different times, later on, to have professed the Jewish and the Christian religion. Among the Embassies sent<br />

by the holy Prophet in A.H. 9-10 was one to the Himyar of Yaman, which led to their coming into Islam. This was of<br />

course much later than the date of this Sura. (44.37)<br />

4716 In prehistoric times the Himyar and Yaman seem to have played a large part in Arabia and even beyond: see last<br />

note. But when they were intoxicated with power, they fell into sin, and gradually they ceased to count, not only in<br />

Arabia but even in Yaman. (44.37)<br />
