Knowledge from the Unseen

So from verse 25:

Wa laqad arsalnā Nūḥan ilā qawmih: We sent Nūḥ (peace be upon him) to his people. And likewise, at verse 49, what is seen there is that Allah (swt) says:

Tilka min anbāʾi al-ghaybi nūḥīhā ilayk: these are of the tidings of the unseen, which We reveal to you. You would not have known it; there is no way you could have known it, nor your people before this. Fa-ṣbir inna al-ʿāqibata li-l-muttaqīn. This is to tell everyone that this comes wholly from the ghayb, from the unseen, from Allah (swt).

Likewise — and this may be looked at for oneself — at verse 110, at the end of the story of Mūsā (peace be upon him), or rather in the midst of his story, Allah (swt) says the same thing again:

Wa laqad ātaynā Mūsā al-kitāba fa-khtulifa fīh: We gave Mūsā (peace be upon him) the Book, and they differed about it; wa law lā kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika la-quḍiya baynahum wa innahum la-fī shakkin minhu murīb.

So while there are many lessons to be learned from these stories of the five prophets, there is also much comfort given in them, for they show how the people, and the prophet, and whoever followed him, held fast, and how they became at last the successful ones. This gives great solace to the fledgling community of Makkah Mukarramah, who had been persecuted, who were being persecuted, who were at a disadvantage and did not know what was to come. After all these stories, after all these accounts, they are given great strength by them.
