"[Then God said], “It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed.”"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, this Qur’ān guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righ- teous deeds that they will have a great reward."— Sahih Intl

"And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment."— Sahih Intl

"All that [i.e., the aforementioned] - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested."— Sahih Intl

"Then, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken [i.e., adopted] from among the angels daughters? In- deed, you say a grave saying."— Sahih Intl

"And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur’ān that they [i.e., mankind] may be reminded, but it does not increase them [i.e., the disbelievers] except in aversion."— Sahih Intl

"Say, [O Muhammad], “If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way.”690"— Sahih Intl

"Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity."— Sahih Intl

"And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition."— Sahih Intl

"And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’ān, they turn back in aversion."— Sahih Intl

"On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little.”"— Sahih Intl

"And [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, “Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people.”699 And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [men- tioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression."— Sahih Intl

"And [mention] when We said to the angles, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, “Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?”"— Sahih Intl

"[Iblees] said, “Do You see this one whom You have honoured above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely"— Sahih Intl

"Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate."— Sahih Intl

"Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hur- ricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not"— Sahih Intl

"And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little."— Sahih Intl

"Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper."— Sahih Intl

"And indeed, they were about to pro- voke [i.e., drive] you from the land [i.e., Makkah] to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not re-"— Sahih Intl

"Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the dark- ness of the night and [also] the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] of dawn. In- deed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed."— Sahih Intl

"And say, “My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority.”"— Sahih Intl

"And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for your- self concerning it an advocate against Us."— Sahih Intl

"Except [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His fa- vor upon you has ever been great."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other as- sistants.”"— Sahih Intl

"And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused [anything] except disbe- lief."— Sahih Intl

"And they say, “We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring"— Sahih Intl

"Or [until] you have a garden of palm tress and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abun- dance]"— Sahih Intl

"Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring God and the angels before [us]"— Sahih Intl

"Or you have a house of ormnament [i.e., gold] or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read.” Say, “Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?”"— Sahih Intl

"And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, “Has God sent a human messenger?”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “If there were upon the earth an- gels walking securely, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger.”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Sufficient is God as Witness be- tween me and you. Indeed he is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing.”"— Sahih Intl

"And whoever God guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrec- tion [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides We increase them in blazing fire."— Sahih Intl

"That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, “When we are bones and crumbled"— Sahih Intl

"Do they not see that God, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief."— Sahih Intl

"Say [to them], “If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending.” And ever has man been stingy."— Sahih Intl

"And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, “Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Moses] said, “You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed.”"— Sahih Intl

"So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together."— Sahih Intl

"And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, “Dwell in the land, and when there comes the prom- ise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gather- ing.”"— Sahih Intl

"And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent"— Sahih Intl

"And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down pro- gressively."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Believe in it or do not believe. Indeed, those who were given know- ledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in pro- stration,"— Sahih Intl

"And they say, “Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled.”"— Sahih Intl

"And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Call upon God or call upon the Most Merciful. [al-Rahmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names.” And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way."— Sahih Intl

"And say, “Praise to God, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification.”"— Sahih Intl
