An-Nahl 36

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا ف۪ي كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَدَى اللّٰهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُۜ فَس۪يرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّب۪ينَ ۝٣٦

36Indeed, We sent a messenger to every community to make known the command: "Serve Allah alone, and keep away from the evil powers that lead people astray from His path!" Some of them followed the path Allah showed, and some deserved to be branded with misguidance. Travel through the land and see what the end was of those who clung to lies in the face of the truth.
