THE KORAN'S
WARNINGS
CHAPTER 5
THE KORAN'S WARNINGS - A.GHOSH
The Koran spells out stern warnings to nations of dis-
believers. The threats and warnings are a reminder that Allah
is all-powerful.
L/36:
And how many a generation We destroyed
before them, who were mightier than these
in prowess so that they overran the lands!
Had they any place of refuge (when the
judgement came)?
VII/97-99:
Are the people of the townships then se-
cure from the coming of Our wrath upon
them as a night-raid while they sleep?
Or are the people of the townships then
secure from the coming of Our wrath upon
them in the daytime while they play?
Are they then secure from Allah's scheme?
None deemeth himself secure from Allah's
scheme save folk that perish.
XXII/45:
How many a township have We destroyed
while it was sinful, so that it lieth (to this
day) in ruins, and (how many) a deserted
well and lofty tower!
XXII/48:
And how many a township did I suffer long
though it was sinful! Then I grasped it.
Unto Me is the return.
VI/6:
See they not how many a generation We
destroyed before them, whom We had es-
tablished in the earth more firmly than We
have established you, and We shed on them
abundant showers from the sky, and made
the rivers flow beneath them. Yet We
destroyed them for their sins, and created
after them another generation.
