Sura 3 Ali 'Imran (Family of Imran), ayah 137

1. قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ سُنَنٌ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

   Similar situations (as yours) have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.

   3:137
