If the people of the towns had only acknowledged and been aware, then We would have opened for them blessings from the sky and the land; but they denied, so We took them for what they used to earn.

Are the people of the towns sure that Our punishment will not come to them at night while they are sleeping?

Or are the people of the towns sure that Our punishment will not come to them during the late morning while they are playing?

Have they become sure about God's scheming? None feels secure about God's scheming except the losing people.

Is it not clear for those who inherited the land after them, that if We wished, We could have punished them immediately for their sins and We could have stamped on their hearts, so they would not hear.
