Quran 28:68 — History (Al-Qasas)

وَرَبُّكَ يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ وَيَختارُ ۗ ما كانَ لَهُمُ الخِيَرَةُ ۚ سُبحٰنَ اللَّهِ وَتَعٰلىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Your Lord is the One who creates whatever He wills, and chooses; no one else does any choosing. Glory be to GOD, the Most Exalted. He is far above needing partners.

[28:67] As for those who repent, believe, and lead a righteous life, they will end up with the winners.

[28:69] Your Lord knows the innermost thoughts hidden in their chests, as well as everything they declare.
