Surah Al-Araaf, Aayat 7: 97

  Bismillahi Arrahmaniarraheem  O people of the towns tell Me how you have become so completely fearless of My punishment. May My punishment come upon you while you are sleeping in your homes secure and peaceful. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone who engages in any sin And wrongdoing, disregarding the command of Allah and oppressing people, why should not be concerned about Allah's wrath and punishment. Seek refuge in Allah. O people before you go to sleep, seek refuge in Allah, How can you sleep satisfied with your sins. Because no one knows when the moment of the Unseen will come. What will happen to whom when. Exempt from the Punishment. O people, do you not know who inhabited this world before you and what punishment Allah inflicted on them for disobdence?. And how are you exempt from the punishment of Allah while you too are doing the same disobedent deeds against Allah, that the previous nations used to do.

Surah Al-Araaf, Aayat 7 : 96

So We seized them in our grip. --------------------------------------------------------------- If only people believed in Allah His Messengers, His angels and the Day of judgement. And they would accept advice when given it, and would praise and glorify Allah.

The time of repent. Allah first gives the disobedent people time to repent, instead of taking advantage of this time, But these people oppose Allah and His Messenger. In return Allah sets a seal on thier hearts, eyes and ears.

Then, as a result of their breaking thier covenant, We seized them suddenly in a way they didn't expect. ------------------------------------------------------------- The test. Whether it is prosperity or adversity, there is nothing in life but a test and there is a need to learn from them. The Prosperity.
