Koran 12:109 — soera Yusuf, vers 109

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓۗ أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ خَيۡرٞ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

En Wij hebben voor jou slecht mannen gezonden aan wie wij openbaarden, (andere profeten vóór de Profeet Mohammed vrede zij met hem) onder de bewoners van de steden. Hebben zij niet over de aarde gereisd en het einde gezien van degenen die voor hen waren? En waarlijk, het huis in het hiernamaals is het beste voor degenen die Allah vrezen en Hem gehoorzamen. Begrijpen jullie dan niet?

And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah; then will you not reason

And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best for those who fear Allâh and obey Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds). Do you not then understand?
