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 />

45:11 - This is (true) Guidance: and for those who reject the Signs of their Lord is a grievous Penalty<br />

of abomination. 4745<br />

69:4 - The Thamud and the `Ad people (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity! 56365637<br />

5636 For these two peoples of antiquity, see n. 1043 to vii. 73, and n. 1040 to vii. 65. (69.4)<br />

69:5 - But the Thamud they were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning! 5638<br />

69:6 - And the `Ad they were destroyed by a furious wind exceedingly violent; 5639<br />

69:7 - He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: So that thou<br />

couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path) as if they had been roots of hollow<br />

palm- trees tumbled down! 5640<br />

69:9 - And Pharaoh and those before him and the Cities Overthrown committed habitual Sin.<br />

564256435644<br />

69:11 - We when the water (of Noah's flood) overflowed beyond its limits carried you (mankind) in<br />

the floating (Ark). 5645<br />

7:35 - O ye children of Adam! whenever there come to you apostles from amongst you rehearsing<br />

my signs unto you those who are righteous and mend (their lives) on them shall be no fear nor<br />

shall they grieve.<br />

7:36 - But those who reject our signs and treat them with arrogance they are companions of the<br />

fire to dwell therein (for ever).<br />

7:182 - Those who reject Our signs We shall gradually visit with punishment in ways they perceive<br />

not.<br />

11:49 - Such are some of the stories of the Unseen which We have revealed unto thee: before this<br />

neither thou nor thy People knew them. So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who<br />

are righteous. 1544<br />

12:105 - And how many Signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? Yet they turn (their<br />

faces) away from them! 1788<br />

1788 Not only can we learn through Scripture of the working of Allah's providence in human history and the history of<br />

individual souls. His Signs are scattered literally throughout nature-throughout Creation-for all who have eyes to see.<br />

And yet man is so arrogant that he turns away his very eyes from them! (12.105)<br />

13:1 - Alif Lam Mim Ra. These are the Signs (or Verses) of the Book: that which hath been<br />

revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth; but most men believe not. 17981799<br />

37:14 - And when they see a Sign turn it to mockery<br />

7:40 - To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance no opening will there be of the<br />

gates of heaven nor will they enter the garden until the camel can pass through the eye of the<br />

needle: such is Our reward for those in sin.<br />

26:3 - It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief that they do not become Believers. 3139<br />

3139 "They" are the Pagans of Makkah. From a human point of view it was a great disappointment to Allah's Messenger in<br />

the middle period of his Makkan ministry that the Makkan could not be brought to believe in the Truth. (26.3)<br />

26:6 - They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what<br />

they mocked at! 3141<br />
