When It’s Too Late to Mend!
The Qur’ān presents the stories of earlier communities who were destroyed for their rejection of the Truth. It directs our attention to the fruits of labour they reaped owing to their stubbornness in rejecting the Message of Truth conveyed to them by the Messengers of God, because they are indicative of human life and its course of history. The crime of their rejection of the Truth was so enormous that God did not defer His Chastisement to the Day of Judgement, but rather He punished them right on earth and made them serve as deterrent to the generations to come.
