Palace

And remember when He made you successors after the ʿAad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allāh and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin¹ - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.²

Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.
