AND NEVER YET have We sent a prophet unto any community without trying its people with misfortune and hardship, so that they might humble themselves; 94 then We gave them in the place of evil good, till they multiplied, and said, 'Hardship and happiness visited our fathers.'

But none feels secure from God's deep devising save people who are [already] lost. 99
