Ali 'Imran 3:137

Qad khalat min qablikum sunanun faseeroofee al-ardi fanthuroo kayfa kanaAAaqibatu almukaththibeen

Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.

Many patterns of behavior have passed before you. So, traverse the land and see what was the fate of those who rejected (the prophets).
