وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَريَةً كانَت آمِنَةً مُطمَئِنَّةً يَأتيها رِزقُها رَغَدًا مِن كُلِّ مَكانٍ فَكَفَرَت بِأَنعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِباسَ الجوعِ وَالخَوفِ بِما كانوا يَصنَعونَ

God presents an example of a secure and peaceful city, its provisions arriving abundantly from every direction. But it showed ingratitude for God’s blessings, so God made it taste the cloak of hunger and fear, as a consequence of their deeds.
