The Koran (Al-Qur'an) CHAPTER II. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. / CHAPTER III. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 11861-11926 confidence: high
After affliction, God sends security as soft sleep to some; others are troubled and conceal doubts. God says the matter belongs to him, that decreed deaths would occur at appointed places, and that he tests and knows what is in breasts and hearts.
The passage says that even if people had remained in their houses, those whose slaughter was decreed would have gone to the places where they died.
