   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 16:36:

     وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا ٱلطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللّٰهُ وَمِنْهُم مَنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

     walaqad baʕaṯnā fī kulli ʔummatin rasūlan ʔani ʕbudū llāha wajtanibū ṭ-ṭāḡūtafaminhum mman hadā llāhu waminhum man ḥaqqat ʕalayhi ḍ-ḍalālatufasīrū fī l-ʔarḍi fanẓurū kayfa kāna ʕāqibatu l-mukaḏḏibīna

     And we certainly sent into every nation a messenger [saying] “worship God and avoid the idol”. And among them were those whom God guided, and among them were those upon whom error was deservedly enacted. So proceed through the earth and see how was the end of the deniers.
