Examples from the Qur'an
Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.
So they were struck by the evil consequences of what they did and were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun [i.e., escape] Us? Evil is what they judge.
