[Al-Quran 50:6-8] Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and how it has no rifts? And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].

Nine Groups corrupting the Earth

 DRAFT 

Surah ash-Shu’ara, while narrating about the Thamud quotes Allah’s Messenger Saleh saying that: 

150

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

151

وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

152

الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُون


150. So fear Allah and obey me.

151. And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

152. Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
