Tafsir of Verse 77

the wont of those We sent before thee of Our Messengers; thou wilt find no change to Our wont.

(This was Our) way with the messengers We sent before thee: thou wilt find no change in Our ways.

The last verse (77): سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْ‌سَلْنَا (Such has been Our way with the messengers We sent ...) tells us that, according to the customary way and law of Allah Ta` ala, when a people expel their prophet from his home-land, or compel him to leave by scaring and harassing, then, those people too are not left to continue living there. They are visited by the punishment of Allah Ta’ ala.
