سُوْرَةُ الرُّوْمِ
Surah Ar-Room (30) — Ayah 47
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ ۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿47﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And indeed We did send Messengers before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to their own peoples. They came to them with clear proofs, then, We took vengeance on those who committed crimes (disbelief, setting partners in worship with Allâh, sins); and (as for) the believers, it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
And indeed, before you, We sent messengers to their people, and they came to them with clear proofs [55]. Then We took vengeance upon those who were criminals, and it was incumbent upon Us to help the believers.
[55] What were those clear proofs? They were the Book of Allah, the pure character of the Messengers themselves, which Allah presented as their Prophethood. Then those Prophets established such a society that became a living, practical example of the divine commands. In the Book of Allah, there was an invitation to reflect upon the signs of Allah scattered throughout the universe. The verses of the Book affirmed the cosmic signs, and the cosmic signs affirmed the verses of the Book. These two types of signs mutually affirmed and confirmed each other. Yet, people did not believe in this Prophet and became arrogant. Instead, they began to oppress the believers. Then, when their rebellion increased, We saved the believers, and saving them was indeed Our responsibility. And We destroyed the criminal people.
