Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?¹

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Blessings come with Faith, while Kufr brings Torment

Allah mentions here the little faith of the people of the towns to whom He sent Messengers. In another instance, Allah said,

فَلَوْلاَ كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَانُهَا إِلاَّ قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُواْ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذ

Sura 7, Ukurasa 163, Juzuu 9

94. And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allāh]. 95. Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive. 96. And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning. 97. Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep? 98. Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play? 99. Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allāh? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allāh except the losing people.
