Commentary:
The lesson is writ large on the face of history that God’s Messengers appeared among all peoples, that the Divine Message was invariably received with ridicule and mockery, and that the rejecters of truth were always punished. It is to this supreme lesson of history that the attention of disbelievers is repeatedly drawn in the words of the Quran, "Behold, how evil was the end of those who were warned." Yet such is the tragedy of human affairs that disbelievers do not benefit from looking at the fate of their disbelieving predecessors.
