The word(s) "deserved" appears 5 time(s) in 5 verse(s) in Quran in Saheeh International translation.

(1) That is [deserved by them] because Allah has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.

(2) A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.

(3) And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.

(4) That Day, Allah will pay them in full their deserved recompense, and they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect in justice.

(5) Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?
