For instance, Allah the Exalted punished the people of Nuh by drowning them in the encompassing flood that touched all the people of earth. There is also the end that struck the people of Ar-Rass, and we mentioned their story before in Surah Al-Furqan, وَثَمُودُوَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَانُ لُوطٍ
