Al-Qasas 78

قَالَ اِنَّمَٓا اُو۫ت۪يتُهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عِنْد۪يۜ اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَاَكْثَرُ جَمْعًاۜ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ ۝٧٨

78Qarun said: —I acquired all this wealth and property only through my knowledge and skill. Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, among the generations before him, many who were stronger and richer than he? Those who have made crime their second nature need no questioning about their sins.
