وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ~ِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَه ُُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِين ٌ

And the king said: "Bring him to me so that I may employ him to my person." So when he spoke to him, he said: "Today you are with us in a high standing and trusted."

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ قَرْن ٍ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَارا ً وَجَعَلْنَا الأَنْهَارَ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنشَأْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنا ً آخَرِينَ

Did they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them? We granted them dominance over the land more than what We granted you, and We sent the sky to them abundantly, and We made rivers flow beneath them; then, We destroyed them for their sins, and established after them a new generation.
7:10
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ قَلِيلا ً مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Wa Laqad Makkannākum Fī Al-'ArĐi Wa Ja`alnā Lakum Fīhā Ma`āyisha Qalīlāan Mā Tashkurūna
And We granted you dominion on the earth, and made for you in it a habitat; little do you give thanks!
12:21
وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاه ُُ مِنْ مِصْرَ لِإمْرَأَتِهِ~ِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاه ُُ عَسَى أَنْ يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَه ُُ وَلَدا ً وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَه ُُ مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِه ِِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

And he from Egypt who had bought him said to his wife: "Make his stay generous, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son." And it was thus that We established Joseph in the land and to teach him the interpretation of the narrations. And God has full control over his situation, but most of the people do not know.
12:56
وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَنْ نَشَاءُ وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

And it was such that We gave Joseph authority in the land, to travel in it as he pleases. We bestow Our mercy upon whom We please, and We do not waste the reward of the good doers.
18:84
إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَه ُُ فِي الأَرْضِ وَآتَيْنَاه ُُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ سَبَبا ً
'Innā Makkannā Lahu Fī Al-'ArĐi Wa 'Ātaynāhu Min Kulli Shay'in Sababāan
We had facilitated for him in the land, and We had given him the means to all things.
18:95
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنَنِي فِيه ِِ رَبِّي خَيْر ٌ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْما ً

He said: "What my Lord has given me is far better. So help me with strength and I will make between you and them a barrier."
22:41
الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوْا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الأُمُورِ

Those whom, if We allow them to have authority in the land, they hold the bond, and they contribute towards purification, and they prohibit vice. And to God is the conclusion of all matters.
46:26
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِيمَا إِنْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِيه ِِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعا ً وَأَبْصَارا ً وَأَفْئِدَة ً فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلاَ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلاَ أَفْئِدَتُهُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْحَدُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه ِِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون

And We had established them in the same way as We established you, and provided them with hearing, and eyesight, and hearts. But their hearing, eyesight, and hearts did not help them at all. This is because they used to disregard the revelations of God, and they will be surrounded by that which they used to mock.

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنا ً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لاَ يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئا ً وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

God promises those among you who believe and do good works, that He will make them successors on the earth, as He made successors of those before them, and He will enable for them their system which He has approved for them, and He will substitute security for them in place of fear: "That they serve Me, not setting up anything with Me." And as for those who reject after that, these are the wicked.
28:6
وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَحْذَرُونَ
Wa Numakkina Lahum Fī Al-'ArĐi Wa Nuriya Fir`awna Wa Hāmāna Wa Junūdahumā Minhum Mā Kānū Yaĥdharūna
And to enable them in the land, and to show Pharaoh and Haamaan and their troops what they had feared.
28:57
وَقَالُوا إِنْ نَتَّبِعِ الْهُدَى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَهُمْ حَرَما ً آمِنا ً يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَاتُ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ رِزْقا ً مِنْ لَدُنَّا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

And they said: "If we follow the guidance with you, we will be deposed from our land." Did We not establish for them a safe territory, to which all kinds of fruits are offered, as a provision from Us? Indeed, most of them do not know.

And if they want to betray you, then they had already betrayed God before, but He has overpowered them; and God is Knowledgeable, Wise.
