messenger]. He will know if His apostles have delivered their Lord’s messages. He knows
everything about them and pays close attention to everything that concerns them.
23:93 Say: Oh my Lord! If it is your will that I witness what you have promised, then, Oh
my Lord, do not place me with the unjust. Certainly, We are able to show you with what We
have threatened them. Repel evil with what is the best. We are well aware of what they say
about you.
23:97 And say: Oh my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones.
And
I seek refuge with you, my Lord, from their presence.
23:99 When death overtakes one of the wicked, he says, “Lord, send me back again so that I
may do the good things that I have left undone.” But, no, they are nothing but empty words.
There is a barrier around the wicked that will remain until the Judgment Day. When the
trumpet is blown, there will be no ties of kinship connecting them, nor will they ask about
one another.
23:102 Those whose balance is heavy will attain salvation, but those whose balance is light
will have lost their souls, and they will abide in Hell. The Fire will burn their faces, and their
lips will twitch in pain. It will be said, “Were My signs not recited to you? Did you not
reject them?”
23:106 They will say, “Lord, misfortune defeated us, and we were led astray. Lord, take us
from here. If we return to evil, then surely we are unjust.
23:108 Allah will say, “Do not speak to Me, but instead be gone into the flames. Some of
My servants would say, ‘Lord, we believe. Forgive us and have mercy on us, because you
are the most merciful.’ But you ridiculed them so much that you forgot My warning while
you were mocking them. I have rewarded them for their patience and constancy. They are
the blissful.”
23:112 Allah will ask, “How many years did you stay on earth?”
23:113 They will say, “We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask those who keep count.”
23:114 Allah will say, “You stayed only a little while; if you had only known. Did you think
that We had created you in vain and that you would not be brought back to us for
judgment?”
23:116 Let Allah be exalted, the true king! There is no god but Him, the Lord of the throne
of grace. If anyone invokes another god besides Allah, he does so without proof. His
reckoning is with Allah, alone. Surely the unbelievers will not succeed.
23:118 Say: Oh my Lord!
Forgive and have mercy on us, because you are the most merciful.
21:36 When the unbelievers see you, they do nothing but mock you. They say, “Is this the
man who talks so much about your gods?” But they reject any mention of the beneficent
Allah.

21:37 Man is an impatient creature. Soon, when I show you My signs, you will not be in
such a hurry. They say, “If you are telling the truth, when will this promise be fulfilled?” If
only the unbelievers knew the time when they will be unable to keep the flames from their
faces and backs when they cannot be saved. No. It will come upon them suddenly and will
confound them. They will be unable to prevent it or to stop it. Other prophets have been
mocked before you. Their mockers were destroyed by the same doom that they laughingly
denied.
21:42 Say: Who will protect you from the wrath of gracious Allah? And still they turn away
from the mention of their Lord. Do they have gods besides Us who can protect them? They
have no power to help themselves, and they can not be defended from Us. No, We have
given the good things to these men and their fathers for the term of their lives. Do they not
see that We come to their land like conquerors and reduce the land under their control? Will
they be the winners? Say: I only warn you of what has been revealed to me. But the deaf
will not hear the call, even when they are warned!
21:46 If only a breath of your Lord’s wrath should touch them, they would surely say, “Oh
no! We have certainly been wicked.” We will set up scales of justice on Judgment Day so
that no soul is treated unjustly. If there is an act as small as a mustard seed, We will consider
it, and We are capable of judging.
18:99 On that day We shall let them surge against one another like waves. The trumpet will
be blown, and We will gather them all together. On that day We shall present Hell for all the
unbelievers to see—unbelievers whose eyes were veiled from My signs and who could not
even hear. What? Do the unbelievers think that they can take My servants to be guardians
besides me? We have prepared Hell to entertain the unbelievers.
18:103 Say: Shall We tell you whose actions will make them the biggest losers? Those
whose efforts are lost in this world’s life even while they thought that they were doing good
deeds. These are the people who disbelieve in their Lord’s revelations and who do not
believe they will meet Him in the afterlife. Their deeds will have been done in vain, and on
the Judgment Day, We will not give them any weight. Their reward is Hell, because they
disbelieved and mocked Our revelations and Our messengers. As for those who believe and
do good deeds, they have the Gardens of Paradise for their entertainment where they will
dwell forever, never wishing to leave.
17:8 Perhaps your Lord will have mercy upon you but if you revert to wickedness, then We
will
repeat Our punishment, and We have made Hell a prison for those who disbelieve.
17:9 This Koran leads to that which is most righteous and gives guidance to the believers
who do good deeds that they will have a great reward. It says that We have prepared a
terrible punishment for the unbelievers. Man prays for evil like he ought to pray for good
because man is hasty.
