நூஹுக்குப்பின் எத்தனை தலைமுறையினரை நாம் அழித்திருக்கின்றோம்? இன்னும், தன் அடியார்களின் பாவங்களை நன்கறிந்தவனாகவும், கூர்ந்து நோக்குபவனாகவும் இருப்பதற்கு உம் இறைவன் போதுமானவன்.

Tafsir of 17:17

A Threat to Quraysh Warning the disbelievers of the Quraysh for rejecting His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ, Allah says that He destroyed other nations who rejected the Messengers after Nuh. This indicates that during the centuries between Adam and Nuh, humans were following Islam, as Ibn `Abbas said: "Between Adam and Nuh there were ten generations, during all of which humans were following Islam." The meaning (of the Ayah) is: "You disbelievers are not more dear to Allah than they were, and you have rejected the most noble of the Messengers and the best of creation, so you are more deserving of punishment." وَكَفَى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرَا بَصِيرًا (And sufficient is your Lord as All-Knower and Seer of the sins of His servants.) means, He knows everything they do, good and evil, and nothing at all is hidden from Him, may He be glorified and exalted.
