Luqman 16


"Oh my son" (said Luqman), " If there be (but) the weight of a mustard seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, God will bring it forth: for God understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

Luqman 14


And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is thy final Goal.

Ad Dukhan (The Smoke) 51-57


As for the Righteous, verily, they will be in a position of security,
Among Gardens and Springs;
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, facing each other
(In addition to such Bounties) We shall wed them to maidens with beautiful eyes.
They can have every kind of fruit (they desire)
in security (without fearing any shortage of it);
Nor will they there taste death, except the first death;
and He will protect them from torment of the blazing fire,
As a Bounty from your Lord.
That will be the supreme achievement!

Ad Dukhan 43-50

Verily, the tree of zaqqum
Will be the food of the sinful,
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
Like the boiling of scalding water.
(A voice will call out), “Seize him and drag him into the midst of the blazing fire!
Then pour over his head the chastisement of that boiling water,
Taste (this torment)
(it will be said to him in a scarcastic way),
truly you were pretending to be the mighty, the honorable!
Truly this is what you used to doubt!”

Al Takathur 1-8


The mutual rivalry for piling up the good things of this world, has diverted you
Until you visit the graves
But nay, you soon shall know the reality
Again, you soon shall know!
Nay, were you to know with certainty of mind,
You would beware!
You shall certainly see Hell-Fire aaljahim
Again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then, you shall be questioned that Day about the Graces of Allah given to you.

At Tahrim 8


O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance:
In the hope that your Lord will remove from you your sins
and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow,
on a Day that Allah will not disgrace
the Prophet and those who believe with him.
Their light will run forward before them and by their right hands,
while they say,” Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and grant us Forgiveness:
For You have power over all things.”

Ad Dukhan 40-42


Verily, the Day of sorting out is the appointed time for all of them.
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught,
and no help can they receive.
Except such as receive Allah’s Mercy, He is All-Mighty, Most Merciful.
