2-26Verily Allah (SWT) is not averse to set forth a parable of a gnat or what is above itإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوْضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا 
and as for those who believe they know that it is the Truth from their Lordفَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوْا فَيَعْلَمُوْنَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ
however as for those who disbelieve they say, “What did Allah (SWT) intend by this parable?”وَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهَاذَا مَثَلً 
by it He misleads many and by it He guides many and He does not mislead by it but the rebelliousيُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيْرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيْرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِيْنَ
Is it not that every time they made a promise? a group of them threw it asideأَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوْا عَهْدًا نَّبَذَهُ فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ
2-100Nay most of them do not believeبَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ 
Many from the people of the book wish they could turn you back from after your faithوَدَّ كَثِيْرٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّوْنَكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ إِيْمَانِكُمْ 
to disbelieve, out of envy from themselves after the truth has been made clear to themكُفَّارًا حَسَدًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الحَقُّ
so, forgive and overlook until Allah (SWT) brings His Commandفَاعْفُوْا وَأَصْفَحُوْا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللهُ بِأَمْرِهِ
2-109certainly Allah (SWT) is over all things Powerfulإِنَّ اللهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Did you not see to those, they come forth from their homes, while they in thousands in fear ofأَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِيْنَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَهُمْ أُلُوْفٌ حَذَرَ
death? then Allah (SWT) said to them, “Die” then He gave them life indeed, Allah (SWT)المَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللهُ مُوْتُوا ثُمَّ أَحْيَاهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ 
2-243certainly, possesses bounty for mankind but most of the people are not gratefulلَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَاكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ
Who is the one who will lend to Allah (SWT) an excellent loan so, He multiplies it for himمَّنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ 
2-245multiplied much and Allah (SWT) withholds and grants abundance and to Him you will be returnedأَضْعَافًا كِثِيْرَةً وَاللهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَصُطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ
then when Talut set out with the forces he said, “indeed, Allah (SWT) will test you with a riverفَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوْتُ بِالجُنُوْدِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ مُبْتَلِيْكُمْ بِنَهَرٍ
so, who drinks from it then he is not from me and who does not feed on it then indeed, he is from meفَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي 
except whom scoops a scoop by his hand” then they drank from it except a few among themإِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِهِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْهُمْ 
then when he crossed it, he and those who believed with himفَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا مَعَهُ 
they said, “no strength for us today against Talut and his troops”قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا اليَوْمَ بِجَالُوْتَ وَجُنُوْدِهِ
those who thought that they would meet Allah (SWT) said, ”how many from a small party overcameقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ يَظُنُّوْنَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُوا اللهِ كَم مِّنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيْلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ 
2-249a huge party by the permission of Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is with the patient ones”فِئَةً كَثِيْرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَاللهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِيْنَ 
He gives the wisdom to whom He wishes and who He receives (granted) wisdomيُؤْتِي الحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الحِكْمَةَ 
2-269then indeed, he is granted abundant good but not they remember except people of understandingفَقَدْ أُوْتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيْرًا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ
He said, “Make for me a sign” He said, “Your sign is that not you will speak to the people for three daysقَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّي ءَايَةً قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ
3-41except gesturing and mention (remember) your Lord much and glorify in the evening and the morningإِلَّا رَمْزًا وَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ كَثِيْرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِالعَشِيِّ وَالإِبْكَارِ
You are the best people brought forth for mankind enjoining to the right and forbiddingكُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ
from the wrong and believing in Allah (SWT) and if the people of the book believed surely, it would haveعَنِ المُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللهِ وَلَوْ ءَامَنَ أَهْلُ الكِتَابِ لَكَانَ
3-110been better for them, among them are believers but most of them are defiantly disobedientخَيْرًا لَّهُمْ مِّنْهُمُ المُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَأَكْثَرَهُمُ الفَاسِقُوْنَ
and how many from a prophet, fought with him many religious scholars but not they lost heartوَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّوْنَ كَثِيْرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا
for what befell them in the way of Allah (SWT) and not they weakened and not they gave inلِمَآ أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا
3-146and Allah (SWT) loves the patient onesوَاللهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِيْنَ 
Indeed, you will be tested in your wealth and yourselves and you will certainly hear from thoseلَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ
who were given the book from before you and from those who associate, much hurtأُوْتُوا الكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِيْنَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيْرًا
3-186and if you are patient and mindful then surely, that is from determined mattersوَإِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الأُمُوْرِ
O mankind! be mindful of your Lord who created you from a single soulيَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ 
and He created from it, its mate and from them both, He dispersed many men and womenوَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيْرًا وَنِسَآءً 
and be mindful of Allah (SWT) who you (all) ask from Him and the wombsوَاتَّقُوا اللهَ الَّذِي تَسَآءَلُوْنَ بِهِ وَالأَرْحَامَ
