Al-Jalalayn Commentary

How dreadful then were My chastisement and My warnings? this is an interrogative meant as an affirmative; kayfa ‘how’ is the predicate of kāna ‘was’ and it is here being used to inquire about a ‘state’; the intention is to prompt those who are being addressed to affirm the fact that God’s chastisement of those who denied Noah was fully deserved.

(Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!) See, O Muhammad, how My punishment of these folk and how the state of those warned became, when Noah warned them but they rejected faith.
