Quran 7:97 — The Purgatory (Al-A'araf)

Did the people of the present communities guarantee that our retribution will not come to them in the night as they sleep?

[7:96] Had the people of those communities believed and turned righteous, we would have showered them with blessings from the heaven and the earth. Since they decided to disbelieve, we punished them for what they earned.

[7:98] Did the people of today's communities guarantee that our retribution will not come to them in the daytime while they play?
