RENAISSANCE OCTOBER 2021

7 Monthly Renaissance October 2021 Qur’ ā nic Exegesis S ū rah al-Naml (2) Am ī n A ḥ san I ṣ l āḥī Verses (45-58) In the previous verses, the accounts of the Pharaoh’s rebelliousness, Solomon’s gratitude and uprightness of the queen of Sab ā are narrated. It has also been shown what fate arrogance meets and what reward is given to gratitude and humility. In the succeeding verses, the anarchy created by two ancient nations of the Arabs – the Tham ū d and the nation of Lot (sws) – as well as their fate is referred to. The purpose is to make the Quraysh realize that they should not think that like the earlier examples the events related belonged to the far off lands of Egypt, Palestine and Yemen; on the contrary, they should also learn a lesson from the fates of nations that lived in their own land; even at that time, the ruins of those nations narrate the fate of arrogance and haughtiness. In this background, readers may study the succeeding verses.
