    6. That is, the result of the senselessness of some particular people could not be that the entire mankind should be deprived of the guidance of the Prophethood and the Book. The result has always been that the worshippers of falsehood, with the pride of power, did not desist from mocking the Prophets and were ultimately destroyed. When Allah’s wrath descended upon the people, those who possessed thousands of times greater power than that possessed by the chiefs of the Quraish, they were crushed to annihilation like mosquitoes and fleas.

    (8) And We destroyed greater than them[1432] in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

    [1432]- The disbelievers of the Quraysh, who denied Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ).
