The Heights - 7:69
Are you surprised that a message from your Lord has come to a man from among you to warn you? Remember that He made you heirs after the people of Noah and made you stronger than them in creation. Think of the Blessings of Allah that you may succeed.
How did they inherit the earth in place of the previous generations?
The Cattle/6:133
Your Lord is Rich, the Owner of Mercy. If He wills, He will take you away and replace you with whom He wills after you, just as He brought you from the descendants of others.
