(Zukhuruf) 43 : 48
وَمَا نُرِيهِمْ مِنْ آيَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
and We didn’t show to them from the sign except the bigger than that had come before, and We seized them with punishment so that they may turn to the aim of life.
See explanation 7: 130-133; 30: 41; and 32: 21-22.
