Mightier than these in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins, and there was not for<br />

them and defender against Allah.<br />

And certainly, we did destroy generations before you when they were unjust, and their apostles<br />

had <strong>com</strong>e to them with clear arguments, and they would not believe; thus do we re<strong>com</strong>pense the<br />

guilty people. Then we made you successors in the land after them so that we may see how you<br />

act.<br />

God cursed the wrongdoers and prepared for them a painful torment. God says:<br />

Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust, who turn away from the path of Allah and desire to<br />

make it crooked. And they are disbelievers in the <strong>Here</strong>after. These shall not escape in the earth,<br />

nor shall they have any guardians besides Allah. The punishment shall be doubled for them. They<br />

could not bear to hear and they did not see.<br />

God has decreed to punish the wrongdoers all over history. When God’s discipline and<br />

punishment inflict the wrongdoers, their economic and military powers will not protect them<br />

since God makes all these in vain.<br />

By the exposition of the wrongdoers’ manners, the Quran intends to provide lessons and<br />

admonitions for people to convince them of giving up the vile qualities, such as aggression and<br />

insulting people.<br />

Releasing the intellects from imitation:<br />

Islam has called for releasing the minds from the bonds of imitation. The source of such an<br />

imitation is ignorance and bigotry. The Quran reproached the imitators whose words are<br />

expressed by His saying:<br />

Thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said:<br />

surely, we found our fathers on a course, and surely, we are followers of their footsteps.<br />

The Quran alienated the question of resting upon the chiefs and leaders who avert the guidance,<br />

and ruled that those chiefs, along with their imitators, will share the same punishment. God says:<br />

Those who were followed shall renounce those who followed them, and they see the<br />

chastisement and their ties are cut asunder.<br />

Islam antagonizes any baseless trend that depends upon unfounded imitation and pursuance. This<br />

is an invitation to discipline the minds and release the ideas from the bonds of imitation.<br />
