DAY 404: Anbiya 11-20

•  How many a town, that were unjust, have We crushed and raised up after them another people! So, as soon as they sensed Our punishment (approaching them), they started to run away from their cities. ˹They were told,˺ “Do not run away! Return to your luxuries and your homes, so you may be questioned ˹about your fate˺.” They cried, “Woe to us! We have surely been wrongdoers.” They kept repeating their cry until We mowed them down, ˹leaving them˺ lifeless.
  
  We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in between for sport. Had We intended to take ˹some˺ amusement, We could have found it in Our presence, if that had been Our Will. Instead, We launch the truth against falsehood, which gets it smashed, and in no time it is gone. Alas to you for what you claim! To Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth. And those who are near to Him are not arrogant against His worship, nor are they sluggish. They glorify ˹Him˺ day and night, never wavering.
  (
      History Repeats: The destruction of past civilizations that rejected the truth is a clear warning. Their deathbed confessions were useless, proving that faith must be chosen before it's too late.
      A Purposeful Creation: The universe was not created in sport or without meaning. Its intricate design proves that life has a serious purpose, refuting a life of heedlessness.
      Truth Prevails: Falsehood, no matter how powerful it seems, is inherently weak and will be destroyed when truth confronts it. This is a divine law.
      The Angelic Example: The angels' constant and humble worship serves as a model for humanity and a rebuke to human arrogance. Everything in existence belongs to God, and the noblest of His creation are the most devoted to Him.
   
      The universe was created with purpose, not play, and just as past nations were destroyed for their wrongdoing, truth will always ultimately prevail over falsehood.
