Quran Enough To Explain Itself?
Every object in the heavens and the earth has glorified God, and He alone is Mighty, and Wise.1 It is He Who drove the disbelievers among the People of the Book out of their dwellings for their first fate2.3 You never thought that they would go out [in this manner];4 and they also thought that their forts would protect them from the [punishment of] God.5 But God came upon them from where they did not even expect it. And He struck terror into their hearts.6 They were destroying their dwellings by their own hands and also by the hands of the Muslims.7 So learn from their example O you who have eyes! (1-2) And had God not destined exile for them [like this] from various places, He would have punished them in this world8 and in the Hereafter for them there already is the punishment of Hell. This is because they tried to oppose God and His Messenger. And those who oppose God9 [reach this very fate] because God is stern in retribution. (3-4) [If they hold an objection, just disregard it because] the palm trees you cut down or spared [at the time of their attack] was because of God’s directive and so that He may humiliate the defiant.10 (5)
