Commentary on 14:45
وقوله - سبحانه - : ( وَسَكَنتُمْ فِي مساكن الذين ظلموا أَنفُسَهُمْ . . . ) معطوف على ( أقسمتم . . ) .والمراد بالسكنى : الحلول فى أماكن الظالمين لوقت يكفى للاتعاظ والاعتبار وكفار قريش كانوا يمرون قوم ثمود فى رحلتهم إلى الشام ، وكانوا يحطون رحالهم هناك ، كما كانوا يمرون على ديار قوم عاد فى رحلتهم إلى اليمن .والمعنى : لقد أقسمتم - أيها الضالون - بأنكم مالكم من انتقال من دار الدنيا إلى دار الآخرة ، وحللتم فى مساكن القوم الظالمين .( وتبين لكم ) عن طريق المشاهدة وتواتر الأخبار .( كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ ) من الإِهلاك والتدمير بسبب كفرهم وفسوقهم .( وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الأمثال ) بما فعلوه وبما فعلناه بهم ، عن طريق كتابنا ، وعلى لسان رسولنا محمد - صلى الله عليه وسلم - .وكان من الواجب عليكم بعد كل ذلك أن تعتبروا وتتعظوا وتثوبوا إلى رشدكم ، وتدخلوا فى الإِسلام ، ولكنكم كنتم قوما فاسقين ، سائرين على نهج هؤلاء المهلكين فى الكفر والفجور ، فاليوم ذوقوا العذا بسبب جحودكم للحق فى الدنيا .قال الإِمام ابن كثير عند تفسيره لهذه الآية : أى : قد رأيتم وبلغكم ما أحللنا بالأمم المكذبة قبلكم ، ومع هذا لم يكن لكم فيهم معتبر ، ولم يكن فيما أوقعنا بهم مزدجر لكم .قال - تعالى - ( حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النذر ).

14:43
مُهۡطِعِينَ مُقۡنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمۡ لَا يَرۡتَدُّ إِلَيۡهِمۡ طَرۡفُهُمۡۖ وَأَفۡـِٔدَتُهُمۡ هَوَآءٞ ٤٣
Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them,1 and their hearts are void.

- This is their state at the time of resurrection from the graves. Their heads are upraised in fixed stares of terror, unable even to glance back. ↩
14:44
وَأَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِيهِمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَخِّرۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ قَرِيبٖ نُّجِبۡ دَعۡوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ ٱلرُّسُلَۗ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُونُوٓاْ أَقۡسَمۡتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٖ ٤٤
And, [O Muḥammad], warn the people of a Day when the punishment will come to them and those who did wrong will say, "Our Lord, delay us for a short term; we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." [But it will be said], "Had you not sworn, before, that for you there would be no cessation?1

وَقَدۡ مَكَرُواْ مَكۡرَهُمۡ وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكۡرُهُمۡ وَإِن كَانَ مَكۡرُهُمۡ لِتَزُولَ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ ٤٦
And they had planned their plan, but with Allāh is [recorded] their plan, even if their plan had been [sufficient] to do away with the mountains.1

فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِفَ وَعۡدِهِۦ رُسُلَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٖ ٤٧

So that Allāh will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.
14:52
هَٰذَا بَلَٰغٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُواْ بِهِۦ وَلِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٥٢
This [Qur’ān] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will be reminded.
