(Thwaha) 20 : 51
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَىٰ

He asked: "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

This is the common question asked by the hypocritical transgressors of all time. Today the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar are asking these questions when they are reminded with Adhikr. See explanation 8: 22; 9: 123-125; 13: 7; 17: 84 and 105.
