واذكروا اذ جعلكم خلفاء من بعد عاد وبواكم في الارض تتخذون من سهولها قصورا وتنحتون الجبال بيوتا فاذكروا الاء الله ولا تعثوا في الارض مفسدين

"And remember how He Made you inheritors After the ’Ad people And gave you habitations In the land: ye build For yourselves palaces and castles In (open) plains, and carve out Homes in the mountains; So bring to remembrance The benefits (ye have received) From God, and refrain From evil and mischief On the earth."
