Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allah that you might succeed.
Tafsir
Verse range: 7:69
أوعجبتم أن جاءكم ذكر من ربكم على رجل منكم لينذركم
"Do you wonder that there has come to you a Reminder from your Lord through a man from among you to warn you!'' Prophet Hud said, do not wonder because Allah sent a Messenger to you from among yourselves to warn you about Allah's Days (His torment) and meeting with Him. Rather than wondering, you should thank Allah for this bounty.
واذكروا إذ جعلكم خلفاء من بعد قوم نوح
"And remember that He made you successors (generations after generations) after the people of Nuh...'' meaning, remember Allah's favor on you in that He made you among the offspring of Nuh, because of whose supplication Allah destroyed the people of the earth after they defied and opposed him.
وزادكم في الخلق بسطة
"and increased you amply in stature.'' making you taller than other people. Similarly, Allah said in the description of Talut (Saul),
وزاده بسطة في العلم والجسم
And has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. (2:247) Hud continued,
فاذكروا آﻻء الله
"So remember the graces (bestowed upon you) from Allah.'' in reference to Allah's favors and blessings
لعلكم تفلحون
"so that you may be successful.''
