Whenever We sent a prophet to a town, We took up its people in suffering and adversity, in order that they might learn humility. 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 And had the people of the dwellings believed and been pious, We would have surely opened for them the blessings from the sky and from the earth, but in fact they denied, and We therefore seized them on account of their deeds. 96 Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them? 97 Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (care-free)? 98 Do they feel secure against the design of Allah None can feel secure against the design of Allah except the utter losers. 99
