Sura 28
Aya 78
78
قالَ إِنَّما أوتيتُهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ عِندي ۚ أَوَلَم يَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَد أَهلَكَ مِن قَبلِهِ مِنَ القُرونِ مَن هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرُ جَمعًا ۚ وَلا يُسأَلُ عَن ذُنوبِهِمُ المُجرِمونَ

Bijan Moeinian

Korah’s response was: “I have earned my wealth by using my brain!” Did he [who was so proud of his knowledge] not know that God [was the one who multiplied and safeguarded his wealth for him for the simple reason that God] had destroyed many wealthier and stronger than him in the past? The guilty ones, however, are judged according to the law [and not according to their own criteria.]
