Surah Ash-Shams
Paper-cut picture from Surah Ash-Shams: an empty silent valley of houses carved into red cliffs, all abandoned, a dry stone well in front, wind blowing sand under a dim dusk sky
Ash-Shams 91:14–15

The end of wrongdoing

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ١٤ وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا ١٥

The meaning, simply

They denied their prophet and killed the she-camel, so Allah sent punishment on them for their sin, and it reached all of them; none escaped. And Allah does not fear any consequence of what He did to them.

Think with me
