6:42We sent messengers to communities before you, and We afflicted them with suffering and hardship, that they may humble themselves.

6:49But as for those who reject Our revelations, torment will afflict them because of their defiance.

6:65Say, “He is Able to send upon you an affliction, from above you, or from under your feet. Or He can divide you into factions, and make you taste the violence of one another. Note how We explain the revelations, so that they may understand.”

6:124When a sign comes to them, they say, “We will not believe unless we are given the like of what was given to God’s messengers.” God knows best where to place His message. Humiliation from God and severe torment will afflict the criminals for their scheming.
