30:9Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them ended up?

God would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

30:10Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.

30:20And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.

30:24And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.

30:55On the Day when the Hour takes place, the sinners will swear they had stayed but an hour. Thus they were deluded.
