That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allāh seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.

அது (ஏனெனில்) நிச்சயமாக அவர்களிடம் அவர்களின் தூதர்கள் தெளிவான அத்தாட்சிகளுடன் வந்தார்கள்; ஆனால், அவர்கள் நிராகரித்தனர். ஆகவே, அல்லாஹ் அவர்களைப் பிடித்தான் - நிச்சயமாக (அல்லாஹ்) வலிமை மிக்கவன்; தண்டிப்பதில் கடுமையானவன்.

එය ඔවුන් වෙත ඔවුන්ගේ ධර්ම දූතවරුන් පැහැදිලි සාධක සමඟ පැමිණිය ද ඔවුහු ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළ බැවිනි. එහෙයින් අල්ලාහ් ඔවුන් ග්‍රහණය කළේ ය. නියත වශයෙන් ම ඔහු බලවත් ය. දඬුවම් දීමෙහි දැඩි ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
یہ اس وجہ سے کہ ان کے پاس ان کے پیغمبر معجزے لے لے کرآتے تھے تو وه انکار کر دیتے تھے ، پس اللہ انہیں پکڑ لیتا تھا۔ یقیناً وه طاقتور اور سخت عذاب واﻻ ہے.

那是因为我的众使者曾带着许多明证来临他们,但他们不归信,故真主惩罚了他们。他确是至刚的。他的刑罚确是严厉的,

Tafsir of 40:22

The Severe Punishment for the Disbelievers أَوَلَمْ يَسيرُواْ (Have they not traveled), `these people who disbelieve in your Message, O Muhammad,' فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ (in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them) means, the nations of the past who disbelieved in their Prophets (peace be upon them), for which the punishment came upon them even though they were stronger than Quraysh. وَءَاثَاراً فِى الاٌّرْضِ (and in the traces in the land.) means, they left behind traces in the earth, such as structures, buildings and dwellings which these people i.e., the Quraysh cannot match. This is like the Ayat: وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَهُمْ فِيمَآ إِن مَّكَّنَّكُمْ فِيهِ (And indeed We had firmly established them with that wherewith We have not established you!) (46:26) وَأَثَارُواْ الاٌّرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا (and they tilled the earth and populated it in greater numbers than these have done) (30:9). Yet despite this great strength, Allah punished them for their sin, which was their disbelief in their Messengers.…
