Maryam • Ayah 98 of 98 • English

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا

Translation:

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound? Maryam 19:98 ^⧉

Tafsir:

أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِ‌كْزًا

"Or hear from them even a whisper" - Maryam 19:98 ^⧉.

The word means a faint, unintelligible sound such as a death-rattle. The meaning of the verse is that there have been many kings who ruled vast empires, exercised unlimited authority and lived in great splendor, but when the wrath of Allah caught upon them for their sinful acts, they were annihilated in such a manner that not even a whisper or a feeble motion is now being heard of them.
