Muhammad (Muhammad)

10. Have they not traveled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? Allah destroyed them completely, and a similar [fate is in store for] disbelievers.

Dammara derives from the root d-m-r denotes “destroy, annihilate, demolish.” Collocated with the preposition ‘ala, it indicates emphasis.

Addressing the negligent astray in ignorance, the blessed Verse asks:

“Why do they not travel on the earth to see the traces of the peoples of the past and see that they were destroyed by Us owing to their denial of the prophet and harassing them. They should know that their destruction was due to their disbelief and disobedience. We destroyed the peoples of the past and such fate awaits these disbelievers.”
