مَا عِنْدَكُمْ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بَاق ٍ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Mā `Indakum Yanfadu Wa Mā `Inda Allāhi Bāqin Wa Lanajziyanna Al-Ladhīna Şabarū 'Ajrahum Bi'aĥsani Mā Kānū Ya`malūna
What you have will run out, while what God has will remain. And We will deliver to those who are patient their reward for the best of what they used to do.
18:46
الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابا ً وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلا ً
Al-Mālu Wa Al-Banūna Zīnatu Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Al-Bāqiyātu Aş-Şāliĥātu Khayrun `Inda Rabbika Thawābāan Wa Khayrun 'Amalāan
Wealth and sons are a beauty of this worldly life. But the good deeds that remain behind are better with your Lord for a reward, and better for hope.
19:76
وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدى ً وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابا ً وَخَيْر ٌ مَرَدّا ً
Wa Yazīdu Allāhu Al-Ladhīna Ahtadaw Hudáan Wa Al-Bāqiyātu Aş-Şāliĥātu Khayrun `Inda Rabbika Thawābāan Wa Khayrun Maraddāan
And God increases the guidance of those who are guided. And the goodness that endures is better with your Lord as a reward and a far better return.
20:71
قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَه ُُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّه ُُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلاَف ٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَابا ً وَأَبْقَى
Qāla 'Āmantum Lahu Qabla 'An 'Ādhana Lakum 'Innahu Lakabīrukumu Al-Ladhī `Allamakumu As-Siĥra Fala'uqaţţi`anna 'Aydiyakum Wa 'Arjulakum Min Khilāfin Wa La'uşallibannakum Fī Judhū`i An-Nakhli Wa Lata`lamunna 'Ayyunā 'Ashaddu `Adhābāan Wa 'Abqá
He said: "Have you believed to him before taking my permission? He is surely your great one who has taught you magic. So, I will cut off your hands and feet from alternate sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and you will come to know which of us is greater in retribution and more lasting!"
20:73
إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ وَاللَّهُ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى
'Innā 'Āmannā Birabbinā Liyaghfira Lanā Khaţāyānā Wa Mā 'Akrahtanā `Alayhi Mina As-Siĥri Wa Allāhu Khayrun Wa 'Abqá
"We have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our wrongdoings, and what you had forced us into doing of magic; and God is better and more lasting."
20:127
وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّه ِِ وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى
Wa Kadhalika Najzī Man 'Asrafa Wa Lam Yu'umin Bi'āyāti Rabbihi Wa La`adhābu Al-'Ākhirati 'Ashaddu Wa 'Abqá
And it is such that We recompense he who transgresses, and did not believe in the revelations of his Lord. And the retribution of the Hereafter is more severe and more lasting.
20:131
وَلاَ تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ~ِ أَزْوَاجا ً مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيه ِِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى
Wa Lā Tamuddanna `Aynayka 'Ilá Mā Matta`nā Bihi 'Azwājāan Minhum Zahrata Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Linaftinahum Fīhi Wa Rizqu Rabbika Khayrun Wa 'Abqá
And do not linger with your eyes on what We have bestowed upon some couples from them; the flower of the worldly life; so as to test them in it; and the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.
26:120
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ
Thumma 'Aghraqnā Ba`du Al-Bāqīna
Then after that We drowned the rest.
28:60
وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa Mā 'Ūtītum Min Shay'in Famatā`u Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Zīnatuhā Wa Mā `Inda Allāhi Khayrun Wa 'Abqá 'Afalā Ta`qilūna
And anything that is given to you is only the materialism of this world, and its glitter. And what is with God is far better, and more lasting. Do you not comprehend?
37:77
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَه ُُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ
Wa Ja`alnā Dhurrīyatahu Humu Al-Bāqīna
And We made his progeny the one that remained.
42:36
فَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
Famā 'Ūtītum Min Shay'in Famatā`u Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Mā `Inda Allāhi Khayrun Wa 'Abqá Lilladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Alá Rabbihim Yatawakkalūna
So whatever you are given is simply an enjoyment of the worldly life, and what is with God is far better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord.
43:28
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَة ً بَاقِيَة ً فِي عَقِبِه ِِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
Wa Ja`alahā Kalimatan Bāqiyatan Fī `Aqibihi La`allahum Yarji`ūna
And he made it a word to last in his subsequent generations; perhaps they may turn back.
69:8
فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُمْ مِنْ بَاقِيَة ٍ
Fahal Tará Lahum Min Bāqiyahin
Do you see any legacy for them?
87:17
وَالآخِرَةُ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى
Wa Al-'Ākhiratu Khayrun Wa 'Abqá
But the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ آيَةَ مُلْكِهِ~ِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ فِيه ِِ سَكِينَة ٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَبَقِيَّة ٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسَى وَآلُ هَارُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And their prophet said to them: "The sign of his kingship shall be that he brings to you the ark in which there is tranquility from your Lord and the legacy of what was left behind by the descendants of Moses and the descendants of Aaron being carried by the angels. In this is a sign for you if you are believers."
11:86
بَقِيَّةُ اللَّهِ خَيْر ٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيظ ٍ
Baqīyatu Allāhi Khayrun Lakum 'In Kuntum Mu'uminīna Wa Mā 'Anā `Alaykum Biĥafīžin
"What will remain for you with God is far better if you are believers. And I am not a guardian over you."
11:116
فَلَوْلاَ كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ أُوْلُوا بَقِيَّة ٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلا ً مِمَّنْ أَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا أُتْرِفُوا فِيه ِِ وَكَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ
Falawlā Kāna Mina Al-Qurūni Min Qablikum 'Ūlū Baqīyatin Yanhawna `Ani Al-Fasādi Fī Al-'ArĐi 'Illā Qalīlāan Mimman 'Anjaynā Minhum Wa Attaba`a Al-Ladhīna žalamū Mā 'Utrifū Fīhi Wa Kānū Mujrimīna
If only there was from the previous generations a people with wisdom who prohibited corruption on the earth, except the few that We saved of them. And those who were wicked followed the enjoyment they were in, and they were criminal.
