(69) أَ وَ عَجِبْتُمْ أَنْ جاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَلى رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْ وَ اذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ
خُلَفاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَ زادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَصْطَةً فَاذْكُرُوا آلاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
69. " What ! do you wonder that an admonition has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you, that he might warn you ? And remember when He made you successors after Noah's people, and increased you in stature. Therefore, remember the bounties of Allah so that you may be prosperous."
Commentary :
There is no wonder that the prophecy, or in other word, the miracle and revelation has allocated to a man who is from among themselves and has grown up with them. His aim is to threaten them not to do vice. However, the Qur'anasks them why they wonder from the messengership of a man who is from among them, but they do not wonder that they worship a stone. The verse says :
" What ! do you wonder that an admonition has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you, that he might warn you ? ..."
Then, they should remember the favours of Allah and that, after the destruction of the people of Noah as a result of their committing sins, He settled them on the earth and increased them in stature and strength.
"... And remember when He made you successors after Noah's people, and increased you in stature. ..."
When the servants of Allah do remember the bounties of Allah practically, they will consequently be prosperous both in this world and in the Hereafter.
"... Therefore, remember the bounties of Allah so that you may be prosperous."
