In Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:24–46), Allah recounts scenes from the history of the prophets to remind us of the truth of His message and the fate of those who deny it.

The story begins with Abraham (peace be upon him), who received honored guests — the angels — bringing him and his wife glad tidings of a son, Isaac, and a grandson, Jacob. This illustrates God’s mercy and His power to grant life even when all human means seem impossible.

The passage then shifts to the fate of past nations who rejected their messengers: the people of Noah, ‘Ad, Thamud, Pharaoh, the people of Lot, and those before them. Each of these communities was destroyed after persistent denial of the truth. These narratives serve as warnings to humanity, showing that arrogance and rejection of divine guidance lead only to ruin.

The surah closes by contrasting the mercy shown to Abraham with the destruction of the deniers. It is a reminder that God’s promise is always fulfilled: He supports His prophets and those who believe, while the end of disbelief is loss and punishment.

This message calls humanity to reflect: the path of faith brings life, mercy, and honor, while the path of denial leads to destruction.
