Al-Ahqaf - 46:27

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ الْقُرَى وَصَرَّفْنَا الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
[46:27]
And certainly We destroyed the towns which are around you, and We repeat the communications that they might turn.
We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).
And verily We have destroyed townships round about you, and displayed (for them) Our revelation, that haply they might return.
