35:10
مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعا ً إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُه ُُ وَالَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَاب ٌ شَدِيد ٌ وَمَكْرُ أُوْلَائِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ
Man Kāna Yurīdu Al-`Izzata Falillāhi Al-`Izzatu Jamī`āan 'Ilayhi Yaş`adu Al-Kalimu Aţ-Ţayyibu Wa Al-`Amalu Aş-Şāliĥu Yarfa`uhu Wa Al-Ladhīna Yamkurūna As-Sayyi'āti Lahum `Adhābun Shadīdun Wa Makru 'Ūlā'ika Huwa Yabūru
Whoever is seeking dignity, then know that to God belongs all dignity. To Him ascend the good words, and the good deeds raise them up. And as for those who scheme evil, they will have a painful retribution, and their scheming will fail.
35:29
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنْفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرّا ً وَعَلاَنِيَة ً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَة ً لَنْ تَبُورَ
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Yatlūna Kitāba Allāhi Wa 'Aqāmū Aş-Şalāata Wa 'Anfaqū Mimmā Razaqnāhum Sirrāan Wa `Alāniyatan Yarjūna Tijāratan Lan Tabūra
Surely, those who recite the Book of God, and hold the contact prayer, and spend secretly and openly from what We have provided them, they are seeking a trade that can never lose.

أَلَمْ تَرَى إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ كُفْرا ً وَأَحَلُّوا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ
'Alam Tará 'Ilá Al-Ladhīna Baddalū Ni`mata Allāhi Kufrāan Wa 'Aĥallū Qawmahum Dāra Al-Bawāri
Did you not see those who replaced the blessings of God with rejection, and they caused their people to dwell in the abode of destruction?

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَتَّخِذَ مِنْ دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنْ مَتَّعْتَهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّى نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا قَوْما ً بُورا ً
Qālū Subĥānaka Mā Kāna Yanbaghī Lanā 'An Nattakhidha Min Dūnika Min 'Awliyā'a Wa Lakin Matta`tahum Wa 'Ābā'ahum Ĥattá Nasū Adh-Dhikra Wa Kānū Qawmāan Būrāan
They said: "Glory be to You, it was not for us to take besides You any allies; indeed You gave them and their fathers luxury until they forgot the remembrance, and they were a lost people."
48:12
بَلْ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ الرَّسُولُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ أَبَدا ً وَزُيِّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَظَنَنْتُمْ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْما ً بُورا ً
Bal žanantum 'An Lan Yanqaliba Ar-Rasūlu Wa Al-Mu'uminūna 'Ilá 'Ahlīhim 'Abadāan Wa Zuyyina Dhālika Fī Qulūbikum Wa žanantum žanna As-Saw'i Wa Kuntum Qawmāan Būrāan
Alas, you thought that the messenger and the believers would not return to their families, and this was deemed pleasant in your hearts, and you thought the worst thoughts; you were a wicked people!
