Seized with Poverty
Had the people of the towns believed and been mindful, We would have showered blessings upon them from the heavens and the earth. But they rejected the truth, so We seized them for what they had earned.
7:96And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn.
