Qur’anic Reflections: The Ideal City of Saba’

The following verse is covered in this talk:

And We had set visible townships, all the way between them and the towns blessed by Us, and phased the journey between them in measured phases: “Travel along them at nights and days peacefully.”

Then they said, “Our Lord, make (the phases of) our journeys more distant.” And they wronged themselves, therefore We turned them into stories, and tore them into pieces. Surely in this there are signs for everyone who is ever-patient, fully grateful.

[34:18 & 19]
