Quran 28:43 — History (Al-Qasas)

We gave Moses the scripture—after having annihilated the previous generations, and after setting the examples through them—to provide enlightenment for the people, and guidance, and mercy, that they may take heed.

[28:42] They incurred in this life condemnation, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be despised.

[28:44] You were not present on the slope of the western mount, when we issued the command to Moses; you were not a witness.*
