and then follow them with the later folk?
And We shall let them be followed by those of later times:
Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones.
So shall We make later generations to follow them.
Then succeeded them with the others?
And We shall cause those of later times to follow them.
So shall We make later generations to follow them.
Then caused the latter folk to follow after?
[and] then made the latter ones follow them?
and let the latter follow them?
Then We will follow them with the later ones.
and make others settle after them in their land?
Then did We follow them up with later ones.

<p>ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِ‌ينَ (Then We will cause the later ones to follow them....77:17) According to popular reading, Verse 17 purports to say that the present-day infidels, the people of Makkah, will receive punishment soon. They were punished and destroyed by Muslims in the Battle of Badr and so on. The difference between the punishment of former nations and the community of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is as follows: The former nations used to be destroyed by celestial punishment with all their habitations. The infidels in the community of the Holy Prophet ﷺ do not receive celestial punishment, because of the Holy Prophet's ﷺ special honour. They are punished by the weapons of Muslims. Furthermore, the destruction is not general. Only the obdurate criminal leaders are destroyed.</p>
