Surah Al Baqara Ayat 87
The Heifer · English translation · Edition God
We gave Moses the Scripture, and sent a succession of messengers after him. And We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire, you grew arrogant, calling some impostors, and killing others?

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.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 88
And they said, “Our hearts are sealed.” Rather, God has cursed them for their ingratitude. They have little faith.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 89
And when a scripture came to them from God, confirming what they have—although previously they were seeking victory against those who disbelieved—but when there came to them what they recognized, they disbelieved in it. So God’s curse is upon the disbelievers.
