| 79-16 | when his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa | إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالوَادِ المُقَدَّسِ طُوًى |
| 79-24 | and said, “I am your lord, the high” | فَقَالَ أَنَاْ رَبُّكُمُ الأَعْلَى |
| 81-29 | and you cannot will but that Allah (SWT) wills the Lord of the creation | وَمَا تَشَآءُوْنَ إِلَّآ أَنْ يَشَآءَ اللهُ رَبُّ العَالَمِيْنَ |
| 89-6 | Did you not see how your lord dealt with (the people of) Ad | أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ |
| 89-13 | so, your lord poured on them a scourge (portion) of punishment | فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِم رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ |
| As for man, when his Lord tries him by honoring him and favoring him | فَأَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ | |
| 89-15 | then he says “my Lord has honored me” | فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّى أَكْرَمَنِ |
| but when He tries him by straitening his provision | وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ | |
| 89-16 | then he says “my Lord has humiliated me” | فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّى أَهَانَنِ |
| 89-22 | and your Lord comes with the angels in rows | وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا |
| however, they denied him and killed it | فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَعَقَرُوْهَا | |
| 91-14 | so, their Lord destroyed them due to their sin and made them equal in destruction | فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِم رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا |
| 93-3 | Your Lord has neither forsaken you nor hates you | مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَ مَا قَلَى |
