But as for those whose faces become white, they shall dwell in Allah’s mercy, and they will remain in it [forever].

Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verses 107-108
107. "And as to those whose faces will turn white, they shall be in the Mercy of Allah; wherein shall they abide forever."
108. "These are the verses of Allah which We recite unto you in Truth; And Allah does not intend any injustice to the world."
The recitation of the divine verses, without any exaggeration or diminution, is adapted to the truth, therefore, actions and reactions, deeds and rewards, movements and recompenses of all nations have been fixed upon a single principal and way. Allah neither ordains the servants a duty beyond their endurance, nor changes the divine laws and ways of treatment with respect to nations.
Explanations
1. Allah does not cast any kind of unjust over anyone, nor does He wish any unjust for anyone.
2. Having a white face or a black face is a reflection of belief, thoughts, and deeds of individuals themselves.
3. Unjust is usually offered by someone who is weak or is not able to obtain the goal through right way; or the one is neglectful due to evil, indecency and committing unjust, none of which is right to be attributed to Allah, the Pure.
Therefore, the second verse may refer to the same fact that the Lord, to Whom all things belong and the return of all is towards Him, does not need to be unjust.
