Al-Baqarah 2:130

ٱصْطَفَيْنَٰهُ

And who forsaketh the religion of Abraham save him who befooleth himself? Verily We chose him in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter he is among the righteous

Al-Baqarah 2:132

ٱصْطَفَىٰ

The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him)

Al-Baqarah 2:264

O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury, like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it, leaving it smooth and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk

Aal-Imran 3:33

ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ

Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of 'Imran above (all His) creatures

Al-A'raf 7:144

ٱصْطَفَيْتُكَ

He said: O Moses! I have preferred thee above mankind by My messages and by My speaking (unto thee). So hold that which I have given thee, and be among the thankful

Al-Hajj 22:75

يَصْطَفِى

Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Seer

An-Naml 27:59

ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ

Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)

As-Saffat 37:153

أَصْطَفَى

(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons

Sad 38:47

ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ

Lo! in Our sight they are verily of the elect, the excellent

Az-Zukhruf 43:16

Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth He you with sons

Indeed Safa and Marwah are among the emblems of Allah: it is, therefore, no sin for him, who performs Hajj or `Umrah to the House of AIIah, to run between the two hills; and Allah knows and appreciates him who does any good with a willing heart

And yet, some people have come to associate the jinn with Allah in His divinity, even though it is He Who created them; and in ignorance they impute to Him sons and daughters. He is Holy and Exalted far above that which they attribute to Him

And they say: 'What is within the bellies of such-and-such cattle is exclusively for our males and is forbidden to our females; but if it be born dead, they all may share in it.' He will soon requite them for all that they (falsely) attribute to Allah. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing

And they brought Joseph's shirt, stained with false blood. Seeing this their father exclaimed: "Nay (this is not true); rather your evil souls have made it easy for you to commit a heinous act. So I will bear this patiently, and in good grace. It is Allah's help alone that I seek against your fabrication

They said: "No wonder that he steals for a brother of his stole before." But Joseph kept his reaction to himself without disclosing the truth to them. He merely said to himself: "You are an evil lot. Allah knows well the truth of the accusation that you are making against me (to my face)

What, has your Lord favoured you with sons and has taken for Himself daughters from among the angels? You are indeed uttering a monstrous lie

Nay, We hurl the Truth at falsehood so that the Truth crushes falsehood, and lo! it vanishes. Woe to you for what you utter

Had there been any gods in the heavens and the earth apart from Allah, the order of both the heavens and the earth would have gone to ruins. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, Who is far above their false descriptions of Him

The Messenger said: "My Lord! Judge with truth. Our Compassionate Lord alone is our support against your (blasphemous) utterances

Never did Allah take unto Himself any son, nor is there any god other than He. (Had there been any other gods) each god would have taken his creatures away with him, and each would have rushed to overpower the other. Glory be to Allah from all that they characterize Him with

(O Muhammad)! Repel evil in the best manner. We are well aware of all that they say about you

Do you not observe that all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with outspread wings, glorify Allah? Each one knows the mode of its prayer and glorification, and Allah has full knowledge of all they do

By those who range themselves in rows

(They say): “Exalted be Allah above what they attribute to Him

Verily we range ourselves in rows (as humble servants)

Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, above what they attribute to Him

And when one evening well-trained and running horses of noble breed were brought to him

Exalted be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, above what they attribute to Him

Have they not seen birds above them spreading and closing their wings, with none holding them except the Merciful One? He oversees everything

half of it, or reduce it a little
