The Holy Quran 38:28 — Surah Sad

Arabic text

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ

Translation

Or (apart from thinking that they have been created in vain) should (the Kuffaar reject Imaan because they think that on the Day of Qiyaamah) We (will) make (treat equally) those who have Imaan and who do righteous deeds like those who spread corruption on earth? Or should (they reject Imaan because they think that on the Day of Qiyaamah) We (will) make (treat) the pious ones like the sinners? (It is inconceivable even to the Kuffaar that the good and the evil should be treated equally.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The believer and the corrupter cannot be equal: that is, Our justice and wisdom do not require that righteous, believing servants be made equal to the wicked and the corrupters, or that those who fear Us be treated in the same way as the brazen and fearless ought to be treated.
