(We destroyed the generations before you when they did wrong) when they disbelieved; (and their messengers (from Allah) came unto them with clear proofs) with commands, prohibitions and signs (but they would not believe) He says: they did not believe in that which they disbelieved in on the day of the covenant. (Thus do We reward the guilty folk) We reward the idolaters with destruction:
- 10:1313
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا ۙ وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
How many generations did We lay low before you when they became wilfully unjust. Their apostles had brought clear proofs to them, yet they never believed. So We punished the sinful people.
