And if only the people of the towns had believed and been aware, then We would have opened for them blessings from the heavens and the earth; but they denied, so We took them for what they had earned.

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 secure about the scheming of God? None are secure about the scheming of God except the people who are the losers.

Is it not a guide for those who inherited the land after them, that if We wished We could have punished them immediately for their sins? And We stamp on their hearts, so they do not hear.
