Nine Groups corrupting the Earth

 DRAFT 

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

151

وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

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."
