These verses forbid corruption on earth and recall that Allah loves neither corruption nor those who spread it. They affirm that establishment in the land belongs to those who set things right, invite people to look at the end of the corrupters, and expose those who think themselves reformers while they corrupt. They also speak of people checking one another to end corruption, and of corruption caused by human deeds.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
So they defeated them by permission of Allāh, and David killed Goliath, and Allāh gave him the kingship and wisdom [i.e., prophethood] and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allāh checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the worlds.
