wa-ḍaraba llāhu mathalan qaryatan kānat ʾāminatan muṭmaʾinnatan yaʾtīhā rizquhā raghadan min kulli makānin fa-kafarat bi-ʾanʿumi llāhi fa-ʾadhāqahā llāhu libāsa l-jūʿi wa-l-khawfi bi-mā kānū yaṣnaʿūna

Allah draws a parable: There was a town secure and peaceful, its provision coming abundantly from every place. But it was ungrateful toward Allah’s blessings. So Allah made it taste hunger and fear because of what they used to do.
