Lessons in the stories of past nations

The sole reason of narrating the stories of the nations of the past is to warn the readers of The Holy Quran; so that people may change their lifestyle of disobedience to avoid any chance of such an ill-fate. In fact, The Holy Quran encourage us to travel around in the earth to look at the fate of those powerful nations of the past who were destroyed by the wrath of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The only reason for their destruction was their bad deeds; and all their powers, influence and resources could not save them from their demise. Their dwellings remain deserted after them as a sign of reminder for the future generations.
