[40].Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) also known as Surah Ghafir [The Forgiver]
Ayat 22. That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear evidence, proofs and signs but they disbelieved (in them). So Allah seized them with punishment. Verily, He is All-Strong, Severe in punishment.
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) Ayat 22. That was because they came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So, Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment. But Allah in His Mercy always sends a Message of warning and good news through his messengers, and He gives His messengers Clear Signs and an authority that can be recognized. Among the Clear Signs are: (1) the pure and unselfish lives of the messengers; (2) the revelation of truth which they bring; (3) their influence on the course of events in their own and succeeding generations; etc. Some of these may be so remarkable that they merit the name of Miracles.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “If Allah afflicts punishment upon a nation, it befalls the whole population indiscriminately and then they will be resurrected and judged according to their deeds.”
[Al-Bukhari Book 09, Chapter 88, Hadith # 224]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 22 “So Allah seized them with punishment. Verily, He is All-Strong, Severe in punishment” When Allah’s punishment comes to pass, it does not distinguish between the upright and the wicked. However, the pious people will be saved from punishment after their death while the wicked ones will be punished in Hell. May Allah save us from all types of punishments.
