| 2-95 | and Allah is Al-Aware of the wrong-doers | وَاللهُ عَلِيْمٌ بِالظَّالِمِيْنَ |
| and those who believe and do good deeds We will admit them into gardens | وَالَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ | |
| flowing from underneath them rivers, they will live in it forever | تَجْرِي مِنْ تحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ أَبَدًا | |
| 4-57 | for them in it, pure spouses and We will admit them to shade, shading | لَهُمْ فِيْهَآ أَزْوَاجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ وَنُدْخِلُهُمْ ظِلًّا ظَلِيْلًا |

| rivers flowing from under it, they will abide in it forever | تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا أَبَدًا | |
| 4-122 | the promise of Allah (SWT) is truth and who is truer than Allah (SWT) in word? | وَعْدَ اللهِ حَقًّا وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللهِ قِيْلًا |
| except a path to Hell, abiding in it forever | إِلَّا طَرِيْقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ أَبَدًا | |
| 4-169 | and that is for Allah (SWT) easy | وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللهِ يَسِيْرًا |
| They said, “O Moosa (AS) truly we won’t enter it ever as long as they are in it | قَالُوا يَا مُوْسَى إِنَّا لَنْ نَدْخُلَهَا أَبَدًا مَّا دَامُوا فِيْهَا | |
| 5-24 | so go you and your Lord and you both fight truly we are here sitting” | فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَآ إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُوْنَ |

| 9-83 | surely, you were pleased with sitting the first time so sit with those who stay behind” | إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيْتُمْ بِالقُعُوْدِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الخَالِفِيْنَ |
| and do not pray on anyone among them that dies ever and do not stand by his grave | وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ | |
| 9-84 | truly they disbelieved in Allah (SWT) and His Messenger and they died while they were defiantly disobedient | إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُوْنَ |
| The first forerunners from the emigrants and the helpers and those who followed them in righteousness | وَالسَّابِقُوْنَ الأَوَّلُوْنَ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِيْنَ وَالأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ | |
| Allah (SWT) is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him | رَّضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ | |
| and He has prepared for them gardens flowing underneath it, rivers, abiding therein forever | وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ أَبَدًا | |
| 9-100 | that is the great success | ذَلِكَ الفَوْزُ العَظِيْمُ |
| Don’t stand in it ever, certainly a place of worship founded on the righteousness from the first day | لَا تَقُمْ فِيْهِ أَبَدًا لَّمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ | |
| is more worthy that you stand in it, within it are men who love to purify themselves | أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُوْمَ فِيْهِ فِيْهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّوْنَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا | |
| 9-108 | and Allah (SWT) loves the ones who purify themselves | وَاللهُ يُحِبُّ المُطَّهِّرِيْنَ |

| Their reward is with their Lord, eternal gardens, underneath which rivers flow, they will abide therein forever | جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا أَبَدًا | |
| 98-8 | Allah SWT pleased with them and they with Him, that is for who feared his Lord | رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ |
