As for those who believe and do righteous deeds—these are the inhabitants of Paradise, wherein they will dwell forever.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 83
We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: “Worship none but God; and be good to parents, and relatives, and orphans, and the needy; and speak nicely to people; and pray regularly, and give alms.” Then you turned away, except for a few of you, recanting.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 85
But here you are, killing your own, and expelling a group of your own from their homes—conspiring against them in wrongdoing and hostility. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although it was forbidden to you. Is it that you believe in part of the Scripture, and disbelieve in part? What is the reward for those among you who do that but humiliation in this life? And on the Day of Resurrection, they will be assigned to the most severe torment. God is not unaware of what you do.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 86
Those are they who bought the present life for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be helped.
