Transliteration:( Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaanoo hum azlama wa atghaa )
"And before this the people of Nuh [62], Surely, they were oppressors, unjust and most rebellious [63]."
✅ [62] Destruction of the People of Nuh
This refers to the people of Hazrat Nuh (On whom be peace), who were destroyed before the people of Aad and Thamud. They were the first people to face destruction by Allah's command, and their destruction came in the form of a great flood, drowning them all.
✅ [63] Oppression and Rebellion
The people of Nuh were known for their extreme oppression, injustice, and rebellion. They caused great grief to Hazrat Nuh (On whom be peace) for nine hundred and fifty years. They tortured him so much that on several occasions, they left him thinking he had died. This prolonged suffering is detailed in Tafseer Roohul Mu'ani.
