They Mocked
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٧
And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And there would not come to them a prophet except that they ridiculed him.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the transgression of earlier peoples is described; those stronger than them were destroyed.
Reflect
Stay away from places where the sacred is mocked.
