We have sent no Prophet to any city but that We seized its people with misery and hardship, that haply they might be humble; 94 Then We changed their suffering into prosperity, until they grew and multiplied, and began to say: "Our fathers (too) were touched by suffering and affluence"... Behold! We called them to account of a sudden, while they realised not (their peril). 95 And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwa (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So We took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn (polytheism and crimes, etc.). 96 Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them? 97 Or do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from Our Might coming to them in the midmorning while they play? 98 Do they feel secure against God's devising? None feels secure against God's devising but the people of the lost. 99
