Tafseer Ibn Kathir

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا أَشْيَاعَكُمْ

And indeed, We have destroyed your likes,

i.e. the earlier nations who denied their Messengers,

فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ



then is there any that will remember!

meaning, is there any that will receive admonition by remembering the humiliation and torment that Allah decreed for them?

وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَـعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ

And a barrier will be set between them and that which they desire, as was done in the past with the people of their kind. (34;54)

وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِي الزُّبُرِ
