Before them the people of Noah and the confederates after them also had rejected, each community schemed to seize the Messenger of them, and they argued with falsehood to invalidate the Truth, then I seized them, then how was My torment!
It is told in verse 10: 47 that every community had a Messenger. This verse tells us that 999 out of each thousand from the people of 312 Messengers sent before had rejected their Messengers. But since they had the Lord’s Message, Adhikr, the Messengers and the believers with them were saved, and the wrongdoing transgressors were wiped out, as explained in verses 5: 67 and 6: 47. Verse 21: 24 says that Adhikr—the Truth and Proof—was revealed to every Messenger, and verse 25: 18 says that the people of the last Messenger, Muhammed, have become bore people by forgetting Adhikr. Verse 83: 7 says that the ledger of the Arabic Quran-reading Fujjar is in Sijjeen of Hell, and verses 9: 67-68 and 33: 72-73 say that the Trust, Adhikr, was revealed to punish these Fujjar who command evil, prevent good, and serve Satan. If it is commanded by the Three Time-Knowing Allah for the Messenger to pray in favor of other people in the Messenger’s community, it is warned through verses 25: 29-30 that Messenger Muhammed will argue against the people who have forgotten Adhikr and have become bore people. See explanation 4: 163-164; 8: 22; 9: 74.
