28:42And We pursued them in this world with a curse. And on Resurrection Day, they will be among the despised.

28:44You were not on the Western Side when We decreed the command to Moses, nor were you among the witnesses.

28:45But We established many generations, and time took its toll on them. Nor were you among the people of Median, reciting Our revelations to them. But We kept sending messengers.

28:47Otherwise, if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have perpetrated, they would say, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the believers.”

28:61Can someone to whom We have made a fine promise—which he will attain—be equal to someone to whom We have given enjoyments in this world, but who will be, on Resurrection Day, among the arraigned?

28:67But he who repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds, may well be among the winners.
