Transliteration:( Kadaabi Aali Fir'awna wallazeena min qablihim; kazzaboo bi Aayaati Rabbihim faahlaknaahum bizunoobihim wa aghraqnaa Aala Fir'awn; wa kullun kaanoo zaalimeen )
126. Nations before the Pharoah, eg, the Aad, the Thamood, etc. were all blessed with numerous bounties by Allah Almighty, but due to their ingratitude they were destroyed. From this we learn that it is important to read historical events of disobedient and ungrateful people as a means of obtaining a lesson.Â
Likewise reading biographies of saints too is important as it is a means of creating a desire to worship Allah Almighty. It is for this reason that Allah Almighty has included all types of stories in the Holy QUR'AAN.Â
127. Although Pharoah's people were all very cruel and those under him were less in cruelty, yet punishment descended on all of them.
