Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Al-Anbiya' 21:11

Surah Al-Anbiya' 21:11



ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ ﱅ ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ ﱉ ﱊ

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

وكم قصمنا من قرية كانت ظالمة

How many a town given to wrongdoing, have We destroyed, meaning, they were very many. This is like the Ayah:

وكم أهلكنا من القرون من بعد نوح

And how many generations have We destroyed after Nuh! (17:17)

فكٲين من قرية أهلكنها وهى ظالمة فهى خاوية على عروشها

And many a township did We destroy while they were given to wrongdoing, so that it lie in ruins. (22:45)

وأنشٲنا بعدها قوما آخرين

and raised up after them another people! means, another nation which came after them
