The Exalted — exalted is His mention — says: and indeed, We have set forth for these polytheists (mushrikīn) who ascribe partners to Allah parables of every kind, from the examples of the generations of the bygone communities, as a deterrent and a warning from Us to them. لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ("that they might take heed"). He says: that they might take heed and restrain themselves from the disbelief in Allah in which they persist.
