Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they treated them with contempt and said, "We disbelieve in what you are sent with. We are skeptical about your message; full of doubt.\\u201d\\nDeath of any disbeliever is annihilation \\n[6:6] Have they not seen how many generations before them we have annihilated? We established them on earth more than we did for you, and we showered them with blessings, generously, and we provided them with flowing streams. We then annihilated them because of their sins, and we substituted another generation in their place.\\n[10:13] Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people.\\n[8:54] Such was the case with the people of Pharaoh and others before them. They first rejected the signs of their Lord. Consequently, we annihilated them for their sins. We drowned Pharaoh\'s people; the wicked were consistently punished.\\nPeople of Noah / flood\\nPeople of Hud / Ad / storm\\nPeople of Saleh / Thamud ?\\nPeople of Lot / Sodom / shower of rocks\\nPeople of Shu\\u2019aib / Midyan / quake \\nIn this episode want to take a closer look at what exactly annihilated the people of Saleh.\\n[7:78] Consequently, the quake annihilated them, leaving them dead in their homes.\\n[51:43] In Tham\\xfbd (there is a lesson). They were told, "Enjoy temporarily.\\u201d [51:44]\\xa0They rebelled against the command of their Lord. Consequently, the lightning struck them as they looked.\\n\\xa0\\nSaleh was a messenger sent to Thamud. \\n[26:141] Tham\\xfbd disbelieved the messengers. [26:142] Their brother S\\xe3leh said to them, "Would you not be righteous? [26:143] "I am an honest messenger to you. [26:144] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me. [26:145] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe. \\n[26:146] "Do you suppose you will be left forever, secure in this state? [26:147] "You enjoy gardens and springs. [26:148] "And crops and date palms with delicious fruits. \\n[16:112] GOD cites the example of a community that used to be secure and prosperous, with provisions coming to it from everywhere. But then, it turned unappreciative of GOD\'s blessings. Consequently, GOD caused them to taste the hardships of starvation and insecurity. Such is the requital for what they did.\\nPeople of Sheba Sura 34\\n[34:15] Sheba\'s homeland used to be a marvel, with two gardens on the right and the left. Eat from your Lord\'s provisions, and be appreciative of Him\\u2014good land, and a forgiving Lord. [34:16] They turned away and, consequently, we poured upon them a disastrous flood, and we substituted their two gardens into two gardens of bad tasting fruits, thorny plants, and a skimpy harvest. [34:17] We thus requited them for their disbelief. Do we not requite only the disbelievers? [34:18] We placed between them and the communities that we blessed other oases, and we secured the journey between them: "Travel therein days and nights in complete security."
