And they will bear wit - ness against themselves that they were disbelievers. That is because your Lord would not destroy the towns unjustly while their people were unwarned. These verses show that to condemn and pass judgement on a peo - ple without having warned them is inequitable. In other words, if there are people who need reformation but God does not send them a Reformer, it would be unfair of Him to hold them accountable on the Day of Judgement for not following His com - mandments. Yet, God is never unjust. It is, therefore, impossible that a people should stand in need of guidance but God should fail to provide it for them. In addition to this general rule, we also learn from the Holy Quran that Allah has made a specific promise to the followers of the Holy Prophet s as in this regard. He says: 7 اَّنِا ُنْحَن اَنْلَّزَن َرْكِّذلا َو اَّنِا ٗهَل َنْوُظِفٰحَل Verily, We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian.
