Mention of the People of Nuh:
The mention of Sayyiduna Nuh (Noah) ؑ and his people has been presented very briefly in just one verse. In this, both the crime of that people and their punishment have been mentioned. In the previous verses, some historical evidences have been presented to prove that the law of retribution for actions is ongoing and effective in this universe.
Lesson from the Similar Crimes and Outcomes of All Nations:
Whichever nation disobeyed the command of Allah Almighty and showed arrogance, its outcome was the same: it was destroyed and ruined. And this punishment was merely in the nature of an order for their arrest so that they could not commit further crimes and other people could be saved from their oppression. As for the real punishment for their crimes, it will be given on the Day of Resurrection after the trial, testimonies, and proof of the crime. And these historical events, their causes, and their outcomes are all being recounted to the disbelievers so that they may themselves understand that if they too do not desist from opposing the truth, their outcome could be the same.
