An-Nahl 16:112 وضرب الله مثلا قرية كانت امنة مطمينة ياتيها رزقها رغدا من كل مكان فكفرت بانعم الله فاذاقها الله لباس الجوع والخوف بما كانوا يصنعون ١١٢
وَضَرَبَ
ٱللَّهُ
مَثَلٗا
قَرۡيَةٗ
كَانَتۡ
ءَامِنَةٗ
مُّطۡمَئِنَّةٗ
يَأۡتِيهَا
رِزۡقُهَا
رَغَدٗا
مِّن
كُلِّ
مَكَانٖ
فَكَفَرَتۡ
بِأَنۡعُمِ
ٱللَّهِ
فَأَذَٰقَهَا
ٱللَّهُ
لِبَاسَ
ٱلۡجُوعِ
وَٱلۡخَوۡفِ
بِمَا
كَانُواْ
يَصۡنَعُونَ
