10:3
إِنَّ رَبَّ كُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْ أَمْرَ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِ هِۦ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ كُمْ فَ ٱعْبُدُ و هُ أَ فَ لَا تَذَكَّرُ ونَ
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?
11:24
مَثَلُ ٱلْ فَرِيقَيْنِ كَ ٱلْ أَعْمَىٰ وَ ٱلْ أَصَمِّ وَ ٱلْ بَصِيرِ وَ ٱل سَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَ انِ مَثَلًا أَ فَ لَا تَذَكَّرُ ونَ
The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember?
11:44
وَ قِيلَ يَٰٓ أَرْضُ ٱبْلَعِ ى مَآءَ كِ وَ يَٰ سَمَآءُ أَقْلِعِ ى وَ غِيضَ ٱلْ مَآءُ وَ قُضِىَ ٱلْ أَمْرُ وَ ٱسْتَوَتْ عَلَى ٱلْ جُودِىِّ وَ قِيلَ بُعْدًا لِّ لْ قَوْمِ ٱل ظَّٰلِمِينَ
And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and the ship came to rest on the [mountain of] Judiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."
13:16
قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ قُلْ أَ فَ ٱتَّخَذْ تُم مِّن دُونِ هِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُ ونَ لِ أَنفُسِ هِمْ نَفْعًا وَ لَا ضَرًّا قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ أَعْمَىٰ وَ ٱلْ بَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى ٱل ظُّلُمَٰتُ وَ ٱل نُّورُ أَمْ جَعَلُ وا۟ لِ لَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُ وا۟ كَ خَلْقِ هِۦ فَ تَشَٰبَهَ ٱلْ خَلْقُ عَلَيْ هِمْ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَ هُوَ ٱلْ وَٰحِدُ ٱلْ قَهَّٰرُ
Say, "Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is darkness equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allah partners who created like His creation so that the creation [of each] seemed similar to them?" Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing."
13:2
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى رَفَعَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ بِ غَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَ وْنَ هَا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ وَ سَخَّرَ ٱل شَّمْسَ وَ ٱلْ قَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْ أَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْ ءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّ كُم بِ لِقَآءِ رَبِّ كُمْ تُوقِنُ ونَ
It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.
16:75
ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوكًا لَّا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَ مَن رَّزَقْ نَٰ هُ مِنَّ ا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَ هُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْ هُ سِرًّا وَ جَهْرًا هَلْ يَسْتَ وُۥنَ ٱلْ حَمْدُ لِ لَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُ هُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُ ونَ
Allah presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allah! But most of them do not know.
16:76
وَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُ هُمَآ أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَ هُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَىٰ هُ أَيْنَ مَا يُوَجِّه هُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِ خَيْرٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى هُوَ وَ مَن يَأْمُرُ بِ ٱلْ عَدْلِ وَ هُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
And Allah presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
20:5
ٱل رَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
23:28
فَ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْ تَ أَنتَ وَ مَن مَّعَ كَ عَلَى ٱلْ فُلْكِ فَ قُلِ ٱلْ حَمْدُ لِ لَّهِ ٱلَّذِى نَجَّىٰ نَا مِنَ ٱلْ قَوْمِ ٱل ظَّٰلِمِينَ
And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'
25:59
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضَ وَ مَا بَيْنَ هُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ ٱل رَّحْمَٰنُ فَ سْـَٔلْ بِ هِۦ خَبِيرًا
He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed.
28:14
وَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّ هُۥ وَ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ ءَاتَيْ نَٰ هُ حُكْمًا وَ عِلْمًا وَ كَ ذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْ مُحْسِنِينَ
And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.
2:29
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَ كُم مَّا فِى ٱلْ أَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱل سَّمَآءِ فَ سَوَّىٰ هُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ وَ هُوَ بِ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
32:18
أَ فَ مَن كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَ مَن كَانَ فَاسِقًا لَّا يَسْتَ وُۥنَ
Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.
32:4
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضَ وَ مَا بَيْنَ هُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ مَا لَ كُم مِّن دُونِ هِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَ لَا شَفِيعٍ أَ فَ لَا تَتَذَكَّرُ ونَ
It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?
35:12
وَ مَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ بَحْرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَآئِغٌ شَرَابُ هُۥ وَ هَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَ مِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُ ونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَ تَسْتَخْرِجُ ونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُ ونَ هَا وَ تَرَى ٱلْ فُلْكَ فِي هِ مَوَاخِرَ لِ تَبْتَغُ وا۟ مِن فَضْلِ هِۦ وَ لَعَلَّ كُمْ تَشْكُرُ ونَ
And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
35:19
وَ مَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ أَعْمَىٰ وَ ٱلْ بَصِيرُ
Not equal are the blind and the seeing,
35:22
وَ مَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ أَحْيَآءُ وَ لَا ٱلْ أَمْوَٰتُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَ مَآ أَنتَ بِ مُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْ قُبُورِ
And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves.
39:29
ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِي هِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَٰكِسُونَ وَ رَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّ رَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَ انِ مَثَلًا ٱلْ حَمْدُ لِ لَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُ هُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُ ونَ
Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know.
39:9
أَ مَّنْ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّ يْلِ سَاجِدًا وَ قَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْ ءَاخِرَةَ وَ يَرْجُوا۟ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّ هِۦ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ ونَ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُ ونَ إِنَّ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْ أَلْبَٰبِ
Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.
40:58
وَ مَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ أَعْمَىٰ وَ ٱلْ بَصِيرُ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُ وا۟ وَ عَمِلُ وا۟ ٱل صَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَ لَا ٱلْ مُسِىٓءُ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُ ونَ
And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.
41:11
ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱل سَّمَآءِ وَ هِىَ دُخَانٌ فَ قَالَ لَ هَا وَ لِ لْ أَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَ ا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَ تَآ أَتَيْ نَا طَآئِعِينَ
Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly."
41:34
وَ لَا تَسْتَوِى ٱلْ حَسَنَةُ وَ لَا ٱل سَّيِّئَةُ ٱدْفَعْ بِ ٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ فَ إِذَا ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ كَ وَ بَيْنَ هُۥ عَدَٰوَةٌ كَأَنَّ هُۥ وَلِىٌّ حَمِيمٌ
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.
43:13
لِ تَسْتَوُ ۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِ هِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُ وا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّ كُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْ تُمْ عَلَيْ هِ وَ تَقُولُ وا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَ نَا هَٰذَا وَ مَا كُ نَّا لَ هُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ
That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.
48:29
مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ هُۥٓ أَشِدَّآءُ عَلَى ٱلْ كُفَّارِ رُحَمَآءُ بَيْنَ هُمْ تَرَىٰ هُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَبْتَغُ ونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَ رِضْوَٰنًا سِيمَا هُمْ فِى وُجُوهِ هِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱل سُّجُودِ ذَٰلِكَ مَثَلُ هُمْ فِى ٱل تَّوْرَىٰةِ وَ مَثَلُ هُمْ فِى ٱلْ إِنجِيلِ كَ زَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْـَٔ هُۥ فَ ـَٔازَرَ هُۥ فَ ٱسْتَغْلَظَ فَ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَىٰ سُوقِ هِۦ يُعْجِبُ ٱل زُّرَّاعَ لِ يَغِيظَ بِ هِمُ ٱلْ كُفَّارَ وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُ وا۟ وَ عَمِلُ وا۟ ٱل صَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِنْ هُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًۢا
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.
4:95
لَّا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ قَٰعِدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْ مُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُو۟لِى ٱل ضَّرَرِ وَ ٱلْ مُجَٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِ أَمْوَٰلِ هِمْ وَ أَنفُسِ هِمْ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْ مُجَٰهِدِينَ بِ أَمْوَٰلِ هِمْ وَ أَنفُسِ هِمْ عَلَى ٱلْ قَٰعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً وَ كُلًّا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْ حُسْنَىٰ وَ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْ مُجَٰهِدِينَ عَلَى ٱلْ قَٰعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred the mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to both Allah has promised the best [reward]. But Allah has preferred the mujahideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward -
53:6
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَ ٱسْتَوَىٰ
One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
57:10
وَ مَا لَ كُمْ أَ لَّا تُنفِقُ وا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَ لِ لَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضِ لَا يَسْتَوِى مِن كُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ ٱلْ فَتْحِ وَ قَٰتَلَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنفَقُ وا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَ قَٰتَلُ وا۟ وَ كُلًّا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْ حُسْنَىٰ وَ ٱللَّهُ بِ مَا تَعْمَلُ ونَ خَبِيرٌ
And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.
57:4
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْ أَرْضِ وَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هَا وَ مَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱل سَّمَآءِ وَ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِي هَا وَ هُوَ مَعَ كُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُن تُمْ وَ ٱللَّهُ بِ مَا تَعْمَلُ ونَ بَصِيرٌ
It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
59:20
لَا يَسْتَوِىٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱل نَّارِ وَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْ جَنَّةِ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْ جَنَّةِ هُمُ ٱلْ فَآئِزُونَ
Not equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise. The companions of Paradise - they are the attainers [of success].
5:100
قُل لَّا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ خَبِيثُ وَ ٱل طَّيِّبُ وَ لَوْ أَعْجَبَ كَ كَثْرَةُ ٱلْ خَبِيثِ فَ ٱتَّقُ وا۟ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓ أُو۟لِى ٱلْ أَلْبَٰبِ لَعَلَّ كُمْ تُفْلِحُ ونَ
Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allah, O you of understanding, that you may be successful.
6:50
قُل لَّآ أَقُولُ لَ كُمْ عِندِ ى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَ لَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْ غَيْبَ وَ لَآ أَقُولُ لَ كُمْ إِنِّ ى مَلَكٌ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْ أَعْمَىٰ وَ ٱلْ بَصِيرُ أَ فَ لَا تَتَفَكَّرُ ونَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"
7:54
إِنَّ رَبَّ كُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْ عَرْشِ يُغْشِى ٱلَّ يْلَ ٱل نَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُ هُۥ حَثِيثًا وَ ٱل شَّمْسَ وَ ٱلْ قَمَرَ وَ ٱل نُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭ بِ أَمْرِ هِۦٓ أَلَا لَ هُ ٱلْ خَلْقُ وَ ٱلْ أَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْ عَٰلَمِينَ
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
9:19
أَ جَعَلْ تُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْ حَآجِّ وَ عِمَارَةَ ٱلْ مَسْجِدِ ٱلْ حَرَامِ كَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِ ٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلْ يَوْمِ ٱلْ ءَاخِرِ وَ جَٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَ وُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَ ٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْ قَوْمَ ٱل ظَّٰلِمِينَ
Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram equal to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
