الاسراۤء — Al-Isra' Ayat 16
وَاِذَآ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِيْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِيْرًا
Wa iżā aradnā an nuhlika qaryatan amarnā mutrafīhā fa fasaqū fīhā fa ḥaqqa ‘alaihal-qaulu fa dammarnāhā tadmīrā(n).
"And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction."
