﴿ وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍۢ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةًۭ وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴾

“For, how many a community that persisted in evildoing have We dashed into fragments, and raised another people in its stead!”

(How many a community that dealt unjustly) whose people were disbelievers and idolaters (have We shattered) have We destroyed, (and raised up) and created (after them) after their destruction (another folk) who lived in their habitations!
