Those who lived before them did, too, devise many a blasphemy - whereupon God visited with destruction all that they had ever built, [striking] at its very foundations, so that the roof fell in upon them from above and suffering befell them without their having perceived whence it came. 26 Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and proclaim, “Where are My partners, concerning whom you disputed”; the people of knowledge will say, “All disgrace and evil is upon the disbelievers this day.” 27 those whom the angels have gathered in death while they were still sinning against themselves!"

Thus did those before them. And Allah wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves. 33 so the evil things which they did coiled around them, and they were encompassed by that they mocked. 34
