(Athwalaq) 65 : 9
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا
Thus they tasted the evil outcome of their own deeds; the evil outcome of their deeds were total loss.
Any country is affected with punishment being the consequence of the inhabitants of that country. As explained in verses 103: 1-3, all mankind in every period is in loss except those who became believers with Adhikr and do righteous deeds, and advise with the Truth-Adhikr-and advise with the patience-the Hereafter. See explanation 16: 61; 30: 41; and 64: 5-6.
