"This is for what your hands have sent on ahead and, of course, Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants." In this verse, it says that the painful torment you are tasting its bitterness now, is the fruit of your own deeds. It was you yourselves who did wrong to your own souls, for never is Allah unjust to anyone.

It says: "This is for what your hands have sent on ahead and, of course, Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants."

Those prophets, in addition to different kinds of miracles, also brought them what they said, i.e. bringing an offering. Explanations The history of all groups and nations, as well as their background, is the best reference to their claims.
