Transliteration:( In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum khaamidoon )
"It was only a blast and they were extinct [42]."
This verse emphasizes the severity and swiftness of Allah's punishment: just one mighty blast was enough to wipe out the entire nation that had rejected the Messengers and martyred Habeeb ibn Najjaar. The destruction was so complete that no one was left even to bury the dead.
According to tradition, Habeeb’s grave remains in Antakiyah, and it is a site visited by both ordinary believers and pious individuals, who honour his sacrifice and unwavering faith.
This verse serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of rejecting divine guidance, and the ease with which Allah’s command can overturn entire nations.
The tafsir of Surah Yaseen verse 29 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Yaseen ayat 26 which provides the complete commentary from verse 26 through 29.
(36:29) There was but a single Blast and suddenly they became silent and still.[24]
24. These words contain a subtle satire. In their arrogance and pride of power and their strong antagonism towards the true faith, they thought they would annihilate the three Prophets and their followers, but, contrary to their plot, they were themselves annihilated by only one stroke of the divine punishment.
[1264]- From Gabriel or a blast from the sky.
