Then Have they Not Seen How Many Generations God Destroyed After Noah and Pharaoh as they Walk Among their Ruined Dwellings?
Then God Produced a Generation of Others After them and Destroyed them in Succession, until He Made you Successors in the Land
17:17, Qur'an
[So] how many generations have We destroyed after Noah?
15:76 - 79, Qur'an
[For] indeed, [Sodom is situated] on an established road. Indeed there is a sign in that for the believers. And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [ruins] are on a clear highway.
22:45 - 46, Qur'an
[So] how many cities did We destroy while they were committing wrong - so they are [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] abandoned wells and [how many] lofty palaces? So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but the hearts are blinded which are within the chests -
44:25 - 28, Qur'an
[For] how many gardens and springs did [the people of Pharaoh] leave behind? And [also] crops and noble sites [of pyramids and temples] and comfort wherein they were amused? Thus, and We caused another people to inherit it.
23:42 - 44, Qur'an
Then We produced other generations after them. No nation will precede its term, nor will they delay it. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger came to his nation, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.
