The example of one who denies the blessings of the Exalted Allah

God presents the example of a town which enjoyed peace and security, its provisions coming from everywhere in abundance, but it denied the favours of God; so God acquainted it with intimate hunger and fear (as punishment) for what they had done.

An apostle came to them who was one of them, but they called him a liar. Then they were seized by torment for they were sinners.
