Quran 3:163 — The Amramites (Ali-'Imran)

They certainly occupy different ranks at GOD. GOD is Seer of everything they do.

[3:162] Is one who pursues GOD's pleasure the same as one who incurs wrath from GOD and his destiny is Hell, the most miserable abode?

[3:164] GOD has blessed the believers by raising in their midst a messenger from among them, to recite for them His revelations, and to purify them, and to teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone totally astray.
