Muhammad (Muhammad)

13. And many a [people of a] town, stronger than [the people of] your town which has driven you out We have destroyed. And there was no helper for them.

The Prophet of Islam’s (S) migration was based on his own will, but Meccan disbelievers drove him into dire circumstances which led him to emigrate from Mecca.

That is why God says that the people of Mecca were responsible for his emigration:

(“has driven you out”).

In this blessed Verse God warns disbelievers that many an inhabitant of towns were stronger than Meccans in terms of power but Meccan and Qurayshi disbelievers drove the Prophet (S) out of his hometown. God rendered them hopeless such as the ancient peoples like ‘Ad and Thamud who were strong and powerful and their physical prowess failed to save them from torment since, as mentioned in the above Verse, God is the Friend and Protector of believers.

He will not help disbelievers against torments and afflictions.
