Al-A'raf · Ayah 74 · Juz 8 · Page 160

وَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ إِذۡ جَعَلَكُمۡ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ عَادٖ وَبَوَّأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورٗا وَتَنۡحِتُونَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ بُيُوتٗاۖ فَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ ٧٤

Wadhkurū idh jaʿalakum khulafāʾa mim baʿdi ʿādiw wa bawwaʾakum fil-arḍi tattakhidhūna min suhūlihā quṣūraw wa tanḥitūnal-jibāla buyūtā, fadhkurū ālāʾallāhi wa lā taʿthaw fil-arḍi mufsidīn.

And remember when He made you successors after the ʿAad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allāh and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
