Ayah: 96

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَفَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَرَكَٰتٖ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

(96) Had the people of towns Believed and become Mindful, We would have opened up for them blessings from the Heavens and Earth^[1700], but they rejected and We took them ˹to task˺ for what they used to earn.

[1700] Those who truly Believe and obey God will come to lead lives of abundance: “Had they taken to the right way, We would have given them abundant water to drink” (72: 16); “… and had they upheld the Torah and the Evangel and what was sent down to them from their Lord, they would have eaten ˹blissfully˺ from above them and from under their feet” (5: 66); “…and whoever is Mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them, *and He will provide for him whence he never expects…” (65: 2-3).
