Tafsir of 21:14
The Virtue of the Qur'an Here Allah points out the noble status of the Qur'an and urges them to recognize its worth: لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَباً فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ (Indeed, We have sent down for you a Book in which there is Dhikrukum). Ibn `Abbas said: "Honor for you." أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ (Will you not then understand) means, will you not understand this blessing, and accept it This is like the Ayah: وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسَْلُونَ (And verily, this is indeed a Reminder for you and your people, and you will be questioned.) 43:44 How the Evildoers were destroyed وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَلِمَةً (How many a town given to wrongdoing, have We destroyed,) meaning, they were very many. This is like the Ayah: وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِن بَعْدِ نُوحٍ (And how many generations have We destroyed after Nuh!) 17:17 فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا (And many a township did We destroy while they were given to wrongdoing, so that it lie in ruins) 22:45. وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْماً ءَاخَرِينَ (and raised up after them another people!) means, another nation which came after them.…
