138. 1. This is an address to the people of Makkah who, during their trade journeys, would pass by these destroyed regions. It is being said to them that you pass by these towns both in the morning and at night, where now there is the Dead Sea, which is extremely harsh to look at and is very foul-smelling and putrid. Do you not understand by seeing them that this terrible end befell them because they denied the messengers? So why should the outcome of your conduct be any different from theirs? When you are doing the same deeds as they did, then how can you remain safe from Allah’s punishment?
