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 and then We changed their hardship into ease until they grew affluent and said, "Our fathers had also experienced adversity and prosperity," then We seized them suddenly, unawares. 95 And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwa (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So We took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn (polytheism and crimes, etc.). 96 Did the people of the towns think themselves secure from Our wrath that could strike them at night during their sleep 97 Or, do they feel secure against the coming of Our punishment upon them in the forenoon while they are at play? 98 Are they oblivious to Allah’s secret plan? So none is unafraid of Allah’s secret plan except the people of ruin! 99
