Verse

	O children of Israel! remember My Favor which I bestowed upon you and	يَابَنِي إِسْرَائِيْلَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ
2-40	fulfil My Covenant so that I fulfil your covenant and fear none but Me	وَأَوْفُوْا بِعَهْدِي أُوْفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ وَإِيَايَ فَارْهَبُوْنِ
	O children of Israel, remember My Favor which I bestowed upon you	يَا بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيْلَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ
2-47	that I preferred you over the rest of creation	وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِيْنَ
	And when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (Sinai)	وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّوْرَ
	“Take that which We have given you with conviction and remember that which is therein	خُذُوْا مَآ ءَاتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوْا مَا فِيْهِ
2-63	so that you may become pious”	لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ
	And who are more unjust than who prevent His name being mentioned in the Mosques of Allah (SWT)	وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَاجِدَ اللهِ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ فِيْهَا اسْمُهُ
	and strive for their ruin	وَسَعَى فِي خَرَابِهَا
	It is not for those to enter them but in fear	أُوْلَآئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوْهَآ إِلَّا خَائِفِيْنَ
2-114	For them is disgrace in this world and a great torment in the hereafter	لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ
	O children of Israel, remember My Favor which I bestowed upon you	يَا بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيْلَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ
2-122	and that I preferred you over the creation	وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِيْنَ
2-152	So, remember Me, I will remember you and be grateful to Me and never be ungrateful to Me	فَاذْكُرُوْنِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوْا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُوْنَ
	There is no sin on you that you seek the bounty from your Lord	لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ
	so, when you depart from Arafat	فَإِذَآ أَفَضْتُمْ مِّنْ عَرَفَاتٍ
	remember Allah (SWT) near the sacred monument (Muzdalifah)	فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ عِنْدَ المَشْعَرِ الحَرَامِ
	and remember Him as He has guided you	وَاذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَاكُمْ
2-198	seeing that you were before of those who were astray	وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الضَّآلِّيْنَ
	and when you have completed your sacred rites (worship)	فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَّنَاسِكَكُمْ
	remember Allah (SWT) like you remember your forefathers or with a much greater remembrance	فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ ءَابَآءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا
	and from the people are some who say “Our Lord give us in this world”	فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُوْلُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا
2-200	so not will he have in the hereafter any share	وَمَا لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ
	and remember Allah (SWT) in the numbered days and whoever hurries in two days	وَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ
	there is no sin on him and whoever stays on there is no sin on him for those of you who are mindful	فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى
2-203	and be mindful of Allah (SWT) and know that unto Him you will be gathered	وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ
	and do not marry polytheist women until they believe	وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا المُشْرِكَاتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ
	and a believing slave girl (maid) is better than a polytheist woman even if she impresses you	وَلَأَمَةٌ مَّؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكَةٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ
	and do not give in marriage to polytheist men until they believe, and a believing slave is better	وَلَا تُنْكِحُوا المُشْرِكِيْنَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُوا وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ
	than a polytheist man even if he impresses you those, they invite to the fire	مِّن مُّشْرِكٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ أُوْلَآئِكَ يَدْعُوْنَ إِلَى النَّارِ
	and Allah (SWT) invites to Paradise and forgiveness by His permission	وَاللهُ يَدْعُوا إِلَى الجَنَّةِ وَالمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِ
2-221	and He makes clear his verses for the people so that you may remember (take heed)	وَيُبَيِّنُ ءَايَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ
	and when you divorce the women, and they reach their term then retain them in a fair manner	وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ
	or release them in a fair manner and do not retain them for harm	أَوْ سَرِّحُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوْهُنَّ ضِرَارًا
	to transgress and who does that then certainly he wronged himself	لِّتَعْتَدُوا وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ
	and do not take the verses of Allah (SWT) in jest and remember the favor of Allah (SWT) upon you	وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا ءَايَاتِ اللهِ هُزُوًا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللهِ عَلَيْكُمْ
	and what He revealed to you of the book and the wisdom, He instructs you with it	وَمَآ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الكِتَابِ وَالحِكْمَةِ يَعِظُكُمْ بِهِ
2-231	and be mindful of Allah (SWT) and know that Allah (SWT) is All-Knowing of everything	وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ
	and no blame on you in what you hint with it of proposal of woman	وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيْمَا عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسَآءِ
	or you conceal it in yourselves, Allah (SWT) knows that you will mention them	أَوْ أَكْنَنْتُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَلِمَ اللهُ أَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُوْنَهُنَّ
	but do not promise them secretly except to say a kind word	وَلَاكِن لَّا تُوَاعِدُوْهُنَّ سِرًّا إِلَّآ أَنْ تَقُوْلُوا قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا
	and do not resolve the knot of marriage until the prescription reaches its term	وَلَا تَعْزِمُوا عُقْدَةَ النِّكَاحِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ
	and know that Allah (SWT) knows what is within yourselves so, beware of Him	وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُ
2-235	and know that Allah (SWT) is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Forbearing	وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِيْمٌ
	and if you fear then on foot or riding then when you are secure	فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِجَالًا أَوْ رُكْبَانًا فَإِذَآ أَمِنْتُمْ
2-239	then remember Allah (SWT) like what He taught you what not you were knowing	فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ كَمَا عَلَّمَكُم مَّالَمْ تَكُوْنُوا تَعْلَمُوْنَ
	He gives the wisdom to whom He wishes and who He receives (granted) wisdom	يُؤْتِي الحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الحِكْمَةَ
2-269	then indeed, he is granted abundant good but not they remember except people of understanding	فَقَدْ أُوْتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيْرًا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ

	and not We made the companions of the fire, except angels	وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَآئِكَةً
	and not We made their number, except a trial for those who disbelieve	وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا
	so that those who were given the book may be convinced	لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِيْنَ أُوْتُوا الكِتَابَ
	and those who believe may increase in faith	وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا إِيْمَانًا
	and those who were given the book and the believers do not doubt	وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِيْنَ أُوْتُوا الكِتَابَ وَالمُؤْمِنُوْنَ
	and those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say:	وَلِيَقُوْلَ الَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَالكَافِرُوْنَ
	“What does Allah (SWT) intend by this example?”	مَاذَآ أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهَذَا مَثَلًا
	thus Allah (SWT) leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills	كَذَلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللهُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَآءُ
	and he knows not the hosts of your Lord but He	وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُوْدَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ
74-31	and this is not except a reminder to mankind	وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَى لِلْبَشَرِ
74-49	so, what is with them? that they turn away from the reminder	فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِيْنَ
74-54	nay! indeed, it is a reminder	كَلَّآ إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
74-55	for who wishes to remember (pay heed to) it	فَمَنْ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُ
	and not will they remember (pay heed to) it, except if Allah (SWT) wishes	وَمَا يَذْكُرُوْنَ إِلَّآ أَنْ يَشَآءَ اللهُ
74-56	He is worthy to fear and worthy to forgive	هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
75-39	then He made from him the two spouses, the male and the female	فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنْثَى
	Has there come upon man a period of time	هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ حِيْنٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ
76-1	that he was not a thing mentioned?	لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْعًا مَّذْكُوْرًا
76-25	remember the name of your Lord morning and evening	وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيْلًا
	Truly this is a reminder	إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ
76-29	so, whoever wishes, let him take a path to his Lord	فَمَنْ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيْلًا
77-5	and by the ones who offer a reminder	فَالمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا
79-35	the day man will remember what he strove for	يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَى
79-43	In what (position) you of mentioning it	فِيْمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَآ
80-4	or be reminded so the reminder would benefit him	أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى
80-11	Nay! truly it is a reminder	كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
80-12	so, whosoever wills, he remembers it	فَمَنْ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُ
81-27	this is but a reminder for the creation	إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِيْنَ
87-9	so, remind, perhaps the reminder benefits	فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَى
87-10	the reminder will be received by him who fears	سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَى
87-15	and remembers the Name of his Lord and prays	وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى
88-21	so, remind them, you are only a reminder	فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
	and that day Hell will be brought near, on that day man will remember	وَجِاْئَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ
89-23	but how will that remembrance avail him?	وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى
92-3	and He who created the male and the female	وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنْثَى
94-4	And have we not raised your remembrance?	وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
