سَوَاء ٌ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَهَرَ بِه ِِ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْف ٍ بِاللَّيْلِ وَسَارِب ٌ بِالنَّهَارِ
Sawā'un Minkum Man 'Asarra Al-Qawla Wa Man Jahara Bihi Wa Man Huwa Mustakhfin Bil-Layli Wa Sāribun Bin-Nahāri
It is the same whether any of you openly declares what he says, or conceals it; whether he is hiding in the night or going openly in the day.

قُلْ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوْ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمَنَ أَيّاً ً مَّا تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلا ً
Qul Ad`ū Allāha 'Aw Ad`ū Ar-Raĥmana 'Ayyāanan Mmā Tad`ū Falahu Al-'Asmā'u Al-Ĥusná Wa Lā Tajhar Bişalātika Wa Lā Tukhāfit Bihā Wa Abtaghi Bayna Dhālika Sabīlāan
Say: "Call on God or call on the Almighty; by whichever you call on, to Him are the best names." And do not be too loud in making your contact prayer, nor too quiet; but seek a path in between.
20:7
وَإِنْ تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّه ُُ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى
Wa 'In Tajhar Bil-Qawli Fa'innahu Ya`lamu As-Sirra Wa 'Akhfá
And if you will declare openly what you say, then surely He knows the secret and what is hidden.
49:2
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلاَ تَجْهَرُوا لَه ُُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَشْعُرُونَ

O you who believe, do not raise your voices above the voice of the prophet, nor shall you speak loudly to him as you would speak loudly to each other, lest your works become nullified while you do not perceive.

67:13
وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوْ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ~ِ إِنَّه ُُ عَلِيم ٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
Wa 'Asirrū Qawlakum 'Aw Ajharū Bihi 'Innahu `Alīmun Bidhāti Aş-Şudūri

4:148
لاَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلاَّ مَنْ ظُلِمَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعاً عَلِيما ً
Lā Yuĥibbu Allāhu Al-Jahra Bis-Sū'i Mina Al-Qawli 'Illā Man žulima Wa Kāna Allāhu Samī`āan `Alīmāan
God does not love that any negative sayings be publicized, except if one is wronged. God is Hearer, Knowledgeable.
6:3
وَهُوَ اللَّهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي الأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ

And He is God in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secrets and what you reveal; and He knows what you earn.

وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعا ً وَخِيفَة ً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالآصَالِ وَلاَ تَكُنْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ
Wa Adhkur Rabbaka Fī Nafsika TaĐarru`āan Wa Khīfatan Wa Dūna Al-Jahri Mina Al-Qawli Bil-Ghudūwi Wa Al-'Āşāli Wa Lā Takun Mina Al-Ghāfilīna
And remember your Lord within yourself, in humility and in reverence; and without loudness in words, during the morning and the evening. And do not be of the careless ones.
16:75
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً عَبْدا ً مَمْلُوكا ً لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْء ٍ وَمَنْ رَزَقْنَاه ُُ مِنَّا رِزْقاً حَسَنا ً فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرّا ً وَجَهْراً هَلْ يَسْتَوُونَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Đaraba Allāhu Mathalāan `Abdāan Mamlūkāan Lā Yaqdiru `Alá Shay'in Wa Man Razaqnāhu Minnā Rizqāan Ĥasanāan Fahuwa Yunfiqu Minhu Sirrāan Wa Jahrāan Hal Yastawūna Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi Bal 'Aktharuhum Lā Ya`lamūna
God puts forth the example of a slave who is owned and cannot achieve anything, against one whom We have provided a good provision which he spends of it secretly and openly. Are they the same? Praise be to God, but most of them do not know.
21:110
إِنَّه ُُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ

وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوسَى لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهْرَة ً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ
Wa 'Idh Qultum Yā Mūsá Lan Nu'umina Laka Ĥattá Nará Allāha Jahratan Fa'akhadhatkumu Aş-Şā`iqatu Wa 'Antum Tanžurūna
And you said: "O Moses, we will not believe you until we see God openly!" So the lightning strike took you while you were still staring.
4:153
يَسْأَلُكَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَنْ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَابا ً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَقَدْ سَأَلُوا مُوسَى أَكْبَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا أَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهْرَة ً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَآتَيْنَا مُوسَى سُلْطَانا ً مُبِينا ً
Yas'aluka 'Ahlu Al-Kitābi 'An Tunazzila `Alayhim Kitābāan Mina As-Samā'i Faqad Sa'alū Mūsá 'Akbara Min Dhālika Faqālū 'Arinā Allāha Jahratan Fa'akhadhat/humu Aş-Şā`iqatu Bižulmihim Thumma Attakhadhū Al-`Ijla Min Ba`di Mā Jā'at/humu Al-Bayyinātu Fa`afawnā `An Dhālika Wa 'Ātaynā Mūsá Sulţānāan Mubīnāan
The people of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. They had asked Moses for even more than that, for they said: "Show us God openly!" So the lightning strike took them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf after the clarity had come to them, and We pardoned them for this; We gave Moses a clear authority.
6:47
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللَّهِ بَغْتَةً أَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
Qul 'Ara'aytakum 'In 'Atākum `Adhābu Allāhi Baghtatan 'Aw Jahratan Hal Yuhlaku 'Illā Al-Qawmu Až-žālimūna
Say: "Do you see if the retribution of God comes to you suddenly, or gradually, will anyone be destroyed except the wicked people?"
