51-1. That is, We did not only destroy the aforementioned nine leaders, but We also completely destroyed their entire nation. Because that nation was fully involved with them in the real cause of destruction, which was disbelief, and although in practice they could not participate in their plan of murder—because this plan was secret—yet it was exactly according to their intention and heartfelt desire. Therefore, they too were as if partners in the plot that the nine individuals had devised against Hazrat Salih ؑ and his family. That is why the entire nation was deemed deserving of destruction.
