Quran 7:4 — The Purgatory (Al-A'araf)

Many a community we annihilated; they incurred our retribution while they were asleep, or wide awake.

[7:3] You shall all follow what is revealed to you from your Lord; do not follow any idols besides Him. Rarely do you take heed.

[7:5] Their utterance when our retribution came to them was: "Indeed, we have been transgressors."
