False Security

Did the people of the towns feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they slept?

7:97Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep?

Or did they feel secure that Our punishment would not strike them by day while they played?

7:98Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play?

Did they feel safe from Allah’s plan? None feel secure from Allah’s plan except those who are truly lost.

7:99Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish.
