10:19
وَ مَا كَانَ ٱل نَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً فَ ٱخْتَلَفُ وا۟ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّ كَ لَ قُضِىَ بَيْنَ هُمْ فِي مَا فِي هِ يَخْتَلِفُ ونَ
And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.
11:110
وَ لَ قَدْ ءَاتَيْ نَا مُوسَى ٱلْ كِتَٰبَ فَ ٱخْتُلِفَ فِي هِ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّ كَ لَ قُضِىَ بَيْنَ هُمْ وَ إِنَّ هُمْ لَ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْ هُ مُرِيبٍ
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt.
11:40
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ نَا وَ فَارَ ٱل تَّنُّورُ قُلْ نَا ٱحْمِلْ فِي هَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَ أَهْلَ كَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْ هِ ٱلْ قَوْلُ وَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَ مَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَ هُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ
[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon the ship of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.
15:5
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَ هَا وَ مَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُ ونَ
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
20:129
وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّ كَ لَ كَانَ لِزَامًا وَ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].
20:99
كَ ذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْ كَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ وَ قَدْ ءَاتَيْ نَٰ كَ مِن لَّدُنَّ ا ذِكْرًا
Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an.
21:101
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَ هُم مِّنَّ ا ٱلْ حُسْنَىٰٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عَنْ هَا مُبْعَدُونَ
Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.
21:27
لَا يَسْبِقُ ونَ هُۥ بِ ٱلْ قَوْلِ وَ هُم بِ أَمْرِ هِۦ يَعْمَلُ ونَ
They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.
23:27
فَ أَوْحَيْ نَآ إِلَيْ هِ أَنِ ٱصْنَعِ ٱلْ فُلْكَ بِ أَعْيُنِ نَا وَ وَحْيِ نَا فَ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ نَا وَ فَارَ ٱل تَّنُّورُ فَ ٱسْلُكْ فِي هَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَ أَهْلَ كَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْ هِ ٱلْ قَوْلُ مِنْ هُمْ وَ لَا تُخَٰطِبْ نِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُ وٓا۟ إِنَّ هُم مُّغْرَقُونَ
So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.
23:43
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَ هَا وَ مَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُ ونَ
No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].
23:61
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُ ونَ فِى ٱلْ خَيْرَٰتِ وَ هُمْ لَ هَا سَٰبِقُونَ
It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.
29:28
وَ لُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِ قَوْمِ هِۦٓ إِنَّ كُمْ لَ تَأْتُ ونَ ٱلْ فَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَ كُم بِ هَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْ عَٰلَمِينَ
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds.
29:39
وَ قَٰرُونَ وَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَٰمَٰنَ وَ لَ قَدْ جَآءَ هُم مُّوسَىٰ بِ ٱلْ بَيِّنَٰتِ فَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُ وا۟ فِى ٱلْ أَرْضِ وَ مَا كَانُ وا۟ سَٰبِقِينَ
And [We destroyed] Qarun and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment].
29:4
أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُ ونَ ٱل سَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُ و نَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُ ونَ
Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge.
35:32
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْ نَا ٱلْ كِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْ نَا مِنْ عِبَادِ نَا فَ مِنْ هُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّ نَفْسِ هِۦ وَ مِنْ هُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَ مِنْ هُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِ ٱلْ خَيْرَٰتِ بِ إِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْ فَضْلُ ٱلْ كَبِيرُ
Then we caused to inherit the Book those We have chosen of Our servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself, and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of Allah. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty.
36:40
لَا ٱل شَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَ هَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْ قَمَرَ وَ لَا ٱلَّ يْلُ سَابِقُ ٱل نَّهَارِ وَ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُ ونَ
It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
37:171
وَ لَ قَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُ نَا لِ عِبَادِ نَا ٱلْ مُرْسَلِينَ
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
41:45
وَ لَ قَدْ ءَاتَيْ نَا مُوسَى ٱلْ كِتَٰبَ فَ ٱخْتُلِفَ فِي هِ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّ كَ لَ قُضِىَ بَيْنَ هُمْ وَ إِنَّ هُمْ لَ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْ هُ مُرِيبٍ
And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt.
42:14
وَ مَا تَفَرَّقُ وٓا۟ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَ هُمُ ٱلْ عِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَ هُمْ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّ كَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّ قُضِىَ بَيْنَ هُمْ وَ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُ وا۟ ٱلْ كِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ هِمْ لَ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْ هُ مُرِيبٍ
And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.
46:11
وَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُ وا۟ لِ لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُ وا۟ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مَّا سَبَقُ و نَآ إِلَيْ هِ وَ إِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُ وا۟ بِ هِۦ فَ سَ يَقُولُ ونَ هَٰذَآ إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ
And those who disbelieve say of those who believe, "If it had [truly] been good, they would not have preceded us to it." And when they are not guided by it, they will say, "This is an ancient falsehood."
56:10
وَ ٱل سَّٰبِقُونَ ٱل سَّٰبِقُونَ
And the forerunners, the forerunners -
56:60
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْ نَا بَيْنَ كُمُ ٱلْ مَوْتَ وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِ مَسْبُوقِينَ
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
59:10
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَآءُ و مِنۢ بَعْدِ هِمْ يَقُولُ ونَ رَبَّ نَا ٱغْفِرْ لَ نَا وَ لِ إِخْوَٰنِ نَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقُ و نَا بِ ٱلْ إِيمَٰنِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِى قُلُوبِ نَا غِلًّا لِّ لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُ وا۟ رَبَّ نَآ إِنَّ كَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
70:41
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْ هُمْ وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِ مَسْبُوقِينَ
To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
79:4
فَ ٱل سَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
And those who race each other in a race
7:80
وَ لُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِ قَوْمِ هِۦٓ أَ تَأْتُ ونَ ٱلْ فَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَ كُم بِ هَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْ عَٰلَمِينَ
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?
8:59
وَ لَا يَحْسَبَ نَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُ وا۟ سَبَقُ وٓا۟ إِنَّ هُمْ لَا يُعْجِزُ ونَ
And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allah].
8:68
لَّوْلَا كِتَٰبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَ مَسَّ كُمْ فِي مَآ أَخَذْ تُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
If not for a decree from Allah that preceded, you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.
9:100
وَ ٱل سَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلْ أَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْ مُهَٰجِرِينَ وَ ٱلْ أَنصَارِ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُ و هُم بِ إِحْسَٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْ هُمْ وَ رَضُ وا۟ عَنْ هُ وَ أَعَدَّ لَ هُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَ هَا ٱلْ أَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِي هَآ أَبَدًا ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْ فَوْزُ ٱلْ عَظِيمُ
And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
