The Righteous Idols Worship God Alone
17:57 Even the idols that they implore are seeking the ways and means towards their Lord. They pray for His mercy, and fear His retribution. Surely, the retribution of your Lord is dreadful.
17:58 There is not a community that we will not annihilate before the Day of Resurrection, or inflict severe retribution upon them. This is already written down in the book.
According to 17:58 will all communities on the Day of Resurrection be corrupt, as God will annihilate every community at that time?
21:6 We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers?
