Verse 28 - 29

28. “And We did not send down upon his people, after him, any host from heaven, nor do We ever send down.”
29. “It was no more than a single (heavenly) Blast that suddenly they were still.”
The angels are the missions of the wrath or affection of Allah, and their coming down or not depends on the command of Allah. However, the Wrath of Allah comes all of a sudden and we should not be neglectful.
Former holy verses explained how the people of Antioch opposed the Divine prophets.
Now, we may refer to their end. In this respect, the Qur’an says:
“And We did not send down upon his people, after him, any host from heaven, nor do We ever send down.”
It is not so that for destroying this disobedient nation We betake to these things.
We do not need such affairs. Only a single hint is enough that We cause them to be quenched and, by ruining their life, We send them to destruction.
Only a single command is enough that the factors of their lives changes into the factors of their death, and in only a short moment all their lives would be annihilated.
In the second verse, the Qur’an adds:
“It was no more than a single (heavenly) Blast, that suddenly they were still.”
Was this Blast the sound of a thunderbolt which appeared from a piece of cloud and came down to the earth, shook everything and ruined all buildings, and by means of the intense terror, they submitted to death?
Or was it a blast which, as the result of a horrible earthquake, came out from the inside of the earth into the atmosphere and the waves of its burst brought all to the mouth of death?
Whatever it was, it was no more than a Blast happened in a fleeting moment. It was a ‘cry’ which made all cries silent, and it was a shock which caused all to be motionless. And such is the power of Allah, and this was the fate of a misguided and useless nation.
