Those whom if We allow them authority in the land, they hold the contact prayer, and they contribute towards betterment, and deter from evil. To God is the conclusion of all matters.

If they deny you, then denied also before them did the people of Noah and Aad and Thamud.

The people of Abraham and the people of Lot.

The dwellers of Midian; and Moses was denied. So I granted respite to the ingrates then I took them, how then was My punishment?

So how many a town have We destroyed while it was doing wrong, so that it is laying in ruins with its wells abandoned, and empty palaces.

Have they not roamed the land and had hearts with which to reason and ears with which to hear? No, it is not the sight which is blind, but it is the hearts that are in the chests that are blind.

They seek you to hasten the retribution; and God will not break His promise. A day with your Lord is like one thousand of the years you count.

Many a town I have given it respite while it was doing wrong, then I seized it! To Me is the destiny.

Say, "O people, I am but a clear warner to you!"

As for those who acknowledge and promote reforms, for them is forgiveness and a great provision.
