Al-Qasas, (The Story)

Mecca Period 49

28:58

And how many a community that [once] exulted in its wanton wealth and ease of life have We destroyed, so that those dwelling-places of theirs - all but a few have never been dwelt-in after them: for it is indeed We alone who shall remain when all else will have passed away! 5 '

(28:59) Yet, withal, thy Sustainer would never destroy a community without having [first] raised in its midst an apostle who would convey unto them Our messages; 60 and never would We destroy a community unless its people are wont to do wrong [to one another]."
