but most of them do not believe. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 158)

them and their whole people! These are the ruins of their houses be-
cause of the wrong they did. There is certainly a Sign in that for people
with knowledge. (Surat an-Naml, 51-52)

them for their sin and flattened them. (Surat ash-Shams, 14)
