(7:1) Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad. (7:2) [This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers. (7:3) Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember. (7:4) And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon. (7:5) And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!" (7:6) Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers. (7:7) Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.
