And verily We sent forth among every community a Messenger (rasūl), just as We have sent you forth among these [Meccans], [to say]: 'Worship Allahu ta’ālā, profess [belief in] His Oneness, and shun false deities', graven images, and do not worship them. Then among them were some whom Allahu ta’ālā guided, and they believed, and among them were some who deserved to be in error, according to Allah’s knowledge, and so they did not believe. So travel, O disbelievers of Mecca, in the land and observe the nature of the consequence of those who denied, their messengers (rusul), in that they were destroyed.
