We raised among every people a messenger who enjoined, "Worship God alone and shun the evil one." Then among them were some whom God guided and among them were others who became deserving of ruin. So travel across the earth and observe what was the end of those who rejected the messengers.
و هر آينه در هر امتى پيامبرى برانگيختيم كه خداى را بپرستيد و از طاغوت- هر معبودى جز خدا- دورى جوييد، پس برخى از آنان را خدا راه نمود و برخى ديگر گمراهى بر آنها سزا گشت، پس در زمين بگرديد و بنگريد كه سرانجام دروغ‌انگاران چگونه بود.
