| 76:3 | | We guided him and conducted him to the right way which We ordained to be the course of life and conduct, and left him to choose to be grateful or to deviate from what is just and right |

| 76:30 | | Nor can you exercise your will without Allah's accord; He has always been Alimun (Omniscient) and Hakimun (Wise |
| 76:31 | | He accepts whom He will and bestows His grace and mercy on whom He will and for the wrong-doers has He prepared a tormenting punishment, taking them from the highest stage of honour to the lowest stair of disgrace |
