"They said, 'Oh, woe unto us! Truly we have been wrong-doers.' And that did not cease to be their cry, till We made them a mown field, stilled."
Quran 21:14-15
And here's another passage drawn from al-Anbiya, the twenty-first surah, here rendered as "The Prophets." OK, I clearly have nothing to add to this one, other than the fact that I liked the symbolism. The punishment of unbelievers is described in many fashions in the Quran, but the notion of them as a "mown field, stilled" is simply beautifully constructed.
