30:9Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and developed it more than they developed it, and their messengers came to them with clear signs. God would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

30:42Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”

30:43So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.

30:47Before you, We sent messengers to their people. They came to them with clear proofs. Then We took revenge on those who sinned. It is incumbent on Us to help the believers.

30:49Although they were before this—before it was sent down upon them—in despair.
