Allah said,ذَلِكَ أَن لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَThis is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrongdoing while their people were unaware.meaning:`We sent the Messengers and revealed the Books to the Jinns and mankind, so that no one has an excuse that he is being punished for his wrongs although he did not receive Allah's Message. Therefore, We did not punish any of the nations, except after sending Messengers to them, so that they have no excuse.'Allah said in other Ayat,وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلاَّ خَلَ فِيهَا نَذِيرٌAnd there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them. (35:24)and,وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَAnd verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming):"Worship Allah, and stay away from At-Taghut (all false deities)." (16:36)and,وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولاًAnd We never punish until We have sent a Messenger. (17:15)and,كُلَّمَا أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَأ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌقَالُواْ بَلَى قَدْ جَأءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَاEvery time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask:"Did no warner come to you!"They will say:"Yes, indeed a warner did come to us, but we belied him." (67:8-9)There are many other Ayat on this subject.Allah's statement
