Al Isra’ Ayah 16

وَإِذَآ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَـٰهَا تَدْمِيرًا ١٦ Whenever We intend to destroy a society, We command its elite ?to obey Allah? but they act rebelliously in it. So the decree ?of punishment? is justified, and We destroy it utterly.
