19. O People of the Book! Indeed, there has come to you Our Messenger who makes clear to you Our commands, after a period of coming of messengers for a long time [78], lest you say: "There came not to us any bearer of glad tidings or warner".

Ayah 2

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمۡ لِأَوَّلِ ٱلۡحَشۡرِۚ مَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْۖ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمۡ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَمۡ يَحۡتَسِبُواْۖ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعۡبَۚ يُخۡرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَأَيۡدِي ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ فَٱعۡتَبِرُواْ يَـٰٓأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ

2.It is He who expelled (Jews) the infidels (3) of the people of the Book (4) from their homes at the first (5) assembly. You did not think (6) that they would go forth; while they were certain that their fortresses would defend (7) them against Allah. But Allah came upon them from where they did not expect (8), and filled their hearts with terror. They demolished their houses with their own hands (9), and the hands of the believers (10). Therefore, take a lesson, O you men of vision (11)
