Unbelievers Punished
We sent messengers to nations before you, and We afflicted them with hardship and suffering so they might humble themselves.
6:42We have sent already unto peoples that were before thee, and We visited them with tribulation and adversity, in order that they might grow humble.
7:94And We sent no prophet unto any township but We did afflict its folk with tribulation and adversity that haply they might grow humble.
10:47And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their messenger cometh (on the Day of Judgment) it will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be wronged.
