Surah Hud — 11:116

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْفَسَادِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَآ أُتْرِفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَكَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

Falw laa kaana minal qurooni min qablikum ooloo baqiyyatiny yanhawna 'anil fasaadi fil ardi illaa qaleelam mimman anjainaa minhum; wattaba'al lazeena zalamoo maaa utrifoo feehi wa kaanoo mujrimeen

Sizden önceki nesillerin ileri gelenleri, yeryüzünde bozgunculuğa engel olmalı değil miydiler? Onlardan kurtardıklarımız pek azdır. Kendilerine verilen nimete karşı haksızlık edenlere uyanlar ise suçlu oldular.

If only there had been, among the generations before you, people of lasting wisdom who forbade corruption on the earth — but there were only a few, those we saved from among them. The wrongdoers pursued the luxuries they were given, and they were guilty.
