22:75
ٱللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ ٱلْ مَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَ مِنَ ٱل نَّاسِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ
Allah chooses from the angels messengers and from the people. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.
27:59
قُلِ ٱلْ حَمْدُ لِ لَّهِ وَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِ هِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ءَ آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُ ونَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "Praise be to Allah, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate with Him?"
2:130
وَ مَن يَرْغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِۦمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفْسَ هُۥ وَ لَ قَدِ ٱصْطَفَيْ نَٰ هُ فِى ٱل دُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّ هُۥ فِى ٱلْ ءَاخِرَةِ لَ مِنَ ٱل صَّٰلِحِينَ
And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself. And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous.
2:132
وَ وَصَّىٰ بِ هَآ إِبْرَٰهِۦمُ بَنِي هِ وَ يَعْقُوبُ يَٰ بَنِىَّ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ لَ كُمُ ٱل دِّينَ فَ لَا تَمُوتُ نَّ إِلَّا وَ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."
2:247
وَ قَالَ لَ هُمْ نَبِيُّ هُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَ كُمْ طَالُوتَ مَلِكًا قَالُ وٓا۟ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَ هُ ٱلْ مُلْكُ عَلَيْ نَا وَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِ ٱلْ مُلْكِ مِنْ هُ وَ لَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِّنَ ٱلْ مَالِ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ هُ عَلَيْ كُمْ وَ زَادَ هُۥ بَسْطَةً فِى ٱلْ عِلْمِ وَ ٱلْ جِسْمِ وَ ٱللَّهُ يُؤْتِى مُلْكَ هُۥ مَن يَشَآءُ وَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."
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.
37:153
أَ صْطَفَى ٱلْ بَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْ بَنِينَ
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
38:47

39:4
لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّ ٱصْطَفَىٰ مِ مَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ سُبْحَٰنَ هُۥ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْ وَٰحِدُ ٱلْ قَهَّارُ
If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
3:33
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ وَ نُوحًا وَ ءَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَ ءَالَ عِمْرَٰنَ عَلَى ٱلْ عَٰلَمِينَ
Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds -
3:42
وَ إِذْ قَالَتِ ٱلْ مَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰ مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ كِ وَ طَهَّرَ كِ وَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ كِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلْ عَٰلَمِينَ

[Allah] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
