Tafsir of Al-Anbiya' 21:11-15

13

That is, “When they realized that Allah's scourge was actually coming”

14

This is a very meaningful sentence. It may mean: (1) "Examine this scourge minutely so that if someone asks you about it, you may be able to give an accurate account of it." (2) "Hold your grand meetings as usual: perhaps your servants may come with folded hands before you to receive orders." (3) "Hold your councils as before, perhaps people may still come to ask for your wise counsels."
