Question:

1- Was there a nation before humankind whose world perished and who have been already reckoned?
2- Will there be a nation after humankind after the Day of Judgment)?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

Allaah The Almighty has informed us about:

-        The creation of the skies and the earth;

-        The creation of Aadam  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention;

-        The creation of Al-Qalam (the Pen), with which Divine decree until the Day of Judgment was written;

-        The existence of Jinn and angels before the creation of Aadam  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention.

Therefore, we must believe in all that Allaah The Almighty has told us and do not inquire about Unseen matters that Allaah The Almighty has not revealed to us, keeping in mind that He is capable of doing all things.

Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):

•        {And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses} [Quran 28:68]

•        {Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator} [Quran 36:81] 

There are several other Quranic verses that affirm this meaning.

Allaah Knows best.
