Curses are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[2:88] Some would say, “Our minds are made up!” Instead, it is a curse from God, as a consequence of their disbelief, that keeps them from believing, except for a few of them.

[3:61] If anyone argues with you, despite the knowledge you have received, then say, “Let us summon our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us invoke God’s curse upon the liars.”

[6:108] Do not curse the idols they set up beside God, lest they blaspheme and curse God, out of ignorance. We have adorned the works of every group in their eyes. Ultimately, they return to their Lord, then He informs them of everything they had done.

[6:125] Whomever God wills to guide, He renders his chest wide open to Submission. And whomever He wills to send astray, He renders his chest intolerant and straitened, like one who climbs towards the sky. God thus places a curse upon those who refuse to believe.

[7:38] He will say, “Enter with the previous communities of jinns and humans into Hell.” Every time a group enters, they will curse their ancestral group. Once they are all in it, the latest one will say of the previous one, “Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us. Give them double the retribution of Hell.” He will say, “Each receives double, but you do not know.”

[8:11] He caused peaceful slumber to overtake you and pacify you, and He sent down water from the sky to clean you therewith. He protected you from the devil’s curse, reassured your hearts and strengthened your foothold.

[10:100] No soul can believe except in accordance with God’s will. For He places a curse upon those who refuse to understand.

[11:54] “We believe that some of our gods have afflicted you with a curse.” He said, “I bear witness before God, and you bear witness as well, that I disown the idols you have set up –

[29:25] He said, “You worship beside God powerless idols due to peer pressure, just to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, wherein you cannot help one another.”

[33:57] Surely, those who oppose God and His messenger, God afflicts them with a curse in this life, and in the Hereafter; He has prepared for them a shameful retribution.

[33:68] “Our Lord, give them double the retribution, and curse them a tremendous curse.”

[47:23] It is those who incurred a curse from God, whereby He rendered them deaf and blind.
