17:5When the first of the two promises came true, We sent against you servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked your homes. It was a promise fulfilled.

17:6Then We gave you back your turn against them, and supplied you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous.

17:7If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.

17:16When We decide to destroy a town, We command its affluent ones, they transgress in it, so the word becomes justified against it, and We destroy it completely.

17:64“And entice whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

17:68Are you confident that He will not cause a track of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no protector?

17:69Or are you confident that He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against Us.

17:75Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

17:86If We willed, We could take away what We revealed to you. Then you will find for yourself no protecting guardian against Us.

17:98This is their repayment for having blasphemed against Our revelations, and having said, “Shall we, when we have become bones and fragments, be resurrected as a new creation?”
