There is not a region to which We sent a prophet and did not inflict upon its people adversity and hardship so that they may submit. 94 then We gave them in the place of evil good, till they multiplied, and said, 'Hardship and happiness visited our fathers.' So We seized them suddenly, unawares. 95 Yet had the peoples of the cities believed and been godfearing, We would have opened upon them blessings from heaven and earth; but they cried lies, and so We seized them for what they earned. 96 Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them? 97 Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play? 98 Are then they secure against the contrivance of Allah? And none feeleth secure against the contrivance of Allah except the people who are losers. 99
