| And thus, We made you a just nation (middle way) so, you will be witnesses over the people | وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ | |
| and the Messenger will be a witness over you | وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا | |
| and not did We make the direction of prayer which you were on | وَمَا جَعَلْنَا القِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَآ | |
| except to make evident who follows the Messenger from who turns back on his heels | إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُوْلَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ | |
| and indeed, it is difficult except for who Allah (SWT) guided | وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَبِيْرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ هَدَى اللهُ | |
| and not will Allah (SWT) let your faith go to waste | وَمَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيُضِيْعَ إِيْمَانَكُمْ | |
| 2-143 | truly Allah (SWT) is to the people Most Kind and Merciful | إِنَّ اللهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ |
| and of mankind is he who would sell himself seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT) | وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِى نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللهِ | |
| 2-207 | and Allah (SWT) is full of kindness to His slaves (subjects) | وَاللهُ رَءُوْفٌ بِالعِبَادِ |
| On the day every soul will find what he did of good presented | يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُّحْضَرًا | |
| and what he did of evil | وَمَا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوءٍ | |
| it will wish if that between itself and between it a great distance | تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ أَمَدًا بَعِيْدًا | |
| 3-30 | and Allah (SWT) warns you of Himself and Allah (SWT) is Most-Kind to His slaves | وَيُحَذِّرُرُكُمُ اللهُ نَفْسَهُ وَاللهُ رَءُوْفٌ بِالعِبَادِ |
| Verily, Allah (SWT) turned in mercy to the prophet and the emigrants and the helpers | لَّقَد تَّابَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالمُهَاجِرِيْنَ وَالأَنْصَارِ | |
| who followed him in the hour of difficulty | الَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ فِي سَاعَةِ العُسْرَةِ | |
| from after what the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated | مِن بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيْغُ قُلُوْبُ فَرِيْقٍ مِّنْهُمْ | |
| 9-117 | then He turned to them, indeed, He is to them Most-Kind, Most-Merciful | ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّهُ بِهِمْ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ |
| Certainly, a Messenger has come to you from yourselves, grievous to him is what you suffer | لَقَدْ جَآئَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيْزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَآ عَنِتُّمْ | |
| 9-128 | he is concerned over you, to the believers he is kind and merciful | حَرِيْصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ |

| ‘our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceeded us in faith | رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقُوْنَا بِالإِيْمَانِ | |
