89. This tells us that without belying the Prophets and being disobedient to them. Divine punishment does not come down, no matter how much disobedience is shown to Allah Almighty Says Allah Almighty. "And We are not to torment until We have sent a messenger" \

It should be remembered that the people of Hazrat Shuaib(On whom he peace) were given the punishment of a loud scream which became like an earth tremor from which the hearts of the people sank with shock. Thus, in this verse and the following verse: "Then a roaring cry overtook at sunrise" (S15.V73), there is no inconsistency.

90. First Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) gave a roaring cry on them which resulted in the earthquake and all those people perished. Thus. this verse is not inconsistent with the verse in which mention is made of a roaring cry.
