وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَذَا بَلَدا ً آمِنا ً وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَه ُُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ قَالَ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَأُمَتِّعُه ُُ قَلِيلا ً ثُمَّ أَضْطَرُّهُ~ُ إِلَى عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
Wa 'Idh Qāla 'Ibrāhīmu Rabbi Aj`al Hādhā Baladāan 'Āmināan Wa Arzuq 'Ahlahu Mina Ath-Thamarāti Man 'Āmana Minhum Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-'Ākhiri Qāla Wa Man Kafara Fa'umatti`uhu Qalīlāan Thumma 'AĐţarruhu 'Ilá `Adhābi An-Nāri Wa Bi'sa Al-Maşīru
And Abraham said: "My Lord, make this a land of peace, and provide for its inhabitants of the fruits for whoever believes in God and the Last Day." He said: "As for he who rejects, I will let him enjoy for a while, then I will force him to the retribution of the Fire. What a miserable destiny!"

7:57
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرا ً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِه ِِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابا ً ثِقَالا ً سُقْنَاه ُُ لِبَلَد ٍ مَيِّت ٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِه ِِ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ كَذَلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

He is the One who sends the winds to be dispersed between His hands of mercy; so when it carries a heavy cloud, We drive it to a dead land, and We send down the water with it and We bring forth fruits of all kind. It is thus that We will bring out the dead, perhaps you will remember.
7:58
وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُه ُُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّه ِِ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلاَّ نَكِدا ً كَذَلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْم ٍ يَشْكُرُونَ

And the good land, its plants are brought forth with the permission of its Lord. And for the one that is evil, it does not bring forth except very little. It is such that We dispatch the signs for a people who are thankful.
14:35
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنا ً وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ الأَصْنَامَ

Mā Yujādilu Fī 'Āyāti Allāhi 'Illā Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Falā Yaghrurka Taqallubuhum Fī Al-Bilādi
None dispute in the revelations of God except those who have rejected. So do not be impressed by their influence in the land.
