Mull it over ❤️ Allah said in Qur'an translate 🤔❗
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."

But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people
