Like the behavior of the people of Pharaoh, and those before them; they rejected the signs of God, so God took them by their sins. God is Strong, severe in punishment.
11:66
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَالِحا ً وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَه ُُ بِرَحْمَة ٍ مِنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذ ٍ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ
Falammā Jā'a 'Amrunā Najjaynā Şāliĥāan Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Ma`ahu Biraĥmatin Minnā Wa Min Khizyi Yawmi'idhin 'Inna Rabbaka Huwa Al-Qawīyu Al-`Azīzu
So, when Our command came, We saved Saleh and those who had believed with him by a mercy from Us and against the disgrace of that day. Your Lord is the Powerful, the Noble.
22:40
الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقّ ٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ وَلَوْلاَ دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْض ٍ لَهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَع ٌ وَصَلَوَات ٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرا ً وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنصُرُهُ~ُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيز ٌ
Al-Ladhīna 'Ukhrijū Min Diyārihim Bighayri Ĥaqqin 'Illā 'An Yaqūlū Rabbunā Allāhu Wa Lawlā Daf`u Allāhi An-Nāsa Ba`Đahum Biba`Đin Lahuddimat Şawāmi`u Wa Biya`un Wa Şalawātun Wa Masājidu Yudhkaru Fīhā Asmu Allāhi Kathīrāan Wa Layanşuranna Allāhu Man Yanşuruhu 'Inna Allāha Laqawīyun `Azīzun
The ones who were driven out of their homes without justice, except that they said: "Our Lord is God!" And if it were not for God defending the people against themselves, then many places of gathering, and markets, and bonds, and temples where the name of God is frequently mentioned, would have been destroyed. God will give victory to those who support Him. God is Powerful, Noble.
22:74
مَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ~ِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيز ٌ
Mā Qadarū Allāha Ĥaqqa Qadrihi 'Inna Allāha Laqawīyun `Azīzun
They have truly underestimated the power of God; for God is Powerful, Noble.
27:39
قَالَ عِفْريت ٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِه ِِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ مَقَامِكَ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِين ٌ
Qāla `Ifrytun Mina Al-Jinni 'Anā 'Ātīka Bihi Qabla 'An Taqūma Min Maqāmika Wa 'Innī `Alayhi Laqawīyun 'Amīnun
A powerful being from among the Jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your station. For I am strong and trustworthy."
28:26
قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا يَاأَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الأَمِينُ

One of the two women said: "O my father, hire him. For the best to be hired is one who is strong and honest."

Waradda Allāhu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bighayžihim Lam Yanālū Khayrāan Wa Kafá Allāhu Al-Mu'uminīna Al-Qitāla Wa Kāna Allāhu Qawīyāan `Azīzāan
And God drove back those who disbelieved with their rage, they left empty handed. God thus spared the believers any fighting. God is Powerful, Noble.
40:22
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَتْ تَأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَكَفَرُوا فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّه ُُ قَوِيّ ٌ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
Dhālika Bi'annahum Kānat Ta'tīhim Rusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Fakafarū Fa'akhadhahumu Allāhu 'Innahu Qawīyun Shadīdu Al-`Iqābi
That is because their messengers used to come to them with proofs, but they rejected. Thus Godseized them; for He is Mighty, severe in punishment.
42:19
اللَّهُ لَطِيف ٌ بِعِبَادِه ِِ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ العَزِيزُ
Allāhu Laţīfun Bi`ibādihi Yarzuqu Man Yashā'u Wa Huwa Al-Qawīyu Al-`Azīzu

We have sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the balance, so that the people may uphold justice. And We sent down the iron, wherein there is great strength, and many benefits for the people. So that God would distinguish those who would support Him and His messengers in the unseen.God is Powerful, Noble.

Wa 'Idh 'Akhadhnā Mīthāqakum Wa Rafa`nā Fawqakumu Aţ-Ţūra Khudhū Mā 'Ātaynākum Biqūwatin Wa Adhkurū Mā Fīhi La`allakum Tattaqūna
And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you: "Take what We have given you with strength, and remember what is in it that you may be righteous."
2:93
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّة ٍ وَاسْمَعُوا قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ~ِ إِيمَانُكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you: "Take what We have given you with strength, and listen." They said: "We hear and disobey!" And they had consumed the calf inside their hearts by their disbelief. Say: "Miserable indeed is what your belief orders of you if you are believers!"
2:165
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَادا ً يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبّا ً لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ يَرَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِذْ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ أَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعا ً وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعَذَابِ

And from among the people are some who take other than God as equals to Him, they love them as they love God; but those who believe love God more strongly; and when those who were wicked see the retribution, they will see that all power belongs to God, and that God is severe in retribution.
7:145
وَكَتَبْنَا لَه ُُ فِي الأَلْوَاحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ مَوْعِظَة ً وَتَفْصِيلا ً لِكُلِّ شَيْء ٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّة ٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُوا بِأَحْسَنِهَا سَأُرِيكُمْ دَارَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

And We wrote for him on the tablets from all things a lesson, and detailing all things. Take it with strength and order your people to take the best from it. I will show you the abode of the wicked.
7:171
وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّه ُُ ظُلَّة ٌ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّه ُُ وَاقِع ٌ بِهِمْ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّة ٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا فِيه ِِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

And We raised the mountain above them as if it were a cloud, and they thought it would fall on them: "Take what We have given you with strength and remember what is in it that you may be righteous."
8:60
وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّة ٍ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِه ِِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَآخَرِينَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تُظْلَمُونَ

And prepare for them all that you can of might, and from the steeds of war, that you may instill terror with it towards the enemy of God and your enemy, and others besides them whom you do not know but God knows them. And whatever you spend in the cause of God will be returned to you, and you will not be wronged.
9:69
كَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّة ً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالا ً وَأَوْلاَدا ً فَاسْتَمْتَعُوا بِخَلاَقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلاَقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلاَقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خَاضُوا أُوْلَائِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Like those before them, they were more powerful than you, and with more wealth and children. They enjoyed their lives, and you enjoyed your lives as those before you enjoyed their lives; and you jested as they jested. They had their works crumble in this world and the next, and they were the losers.
11:52
وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارا ً وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّة ً إِلَى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلاَ تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِينَ

"And my people, seek forgiveness from your Lord, then repent to Him; He will send the sky to you abundantly, and He will add might to your might. So do not turn away as criminals."
11:52

Qāla Law 'Anna Lī Bikum Qūwatan 'Aw 'Āwī 'Ilá Ruknin Shadīdin
He said: "If only I had strength against you, or I could find for myself some powerful support."
16:92
وَلاَ تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثا ً تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلا ً بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَى مِنْ أُمَّة ٍ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِه ِِ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنْتُمْ فِيه ِِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

And do not be like she who unraveled her knitting after it had become strong, by breaking your oaths as a means of deception between you. That a nation shall be more numerous than another nation, for God puts you to the test by it. And He will show you on the Day of Resurrection that which you were disputing in.
18:39
وَلَوْلاَ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالا ً وَوَلَدا ً
Wa Lawlā 'Idh Dakhalta Jannataka Qulta Mā Shā'a Allāhu Lā Qūwata 'Illā Billāhi 'In Tarani 'Anā 'Aqalla Minka Mālāan Wa Waladāan
"And if you enter your garden, you should say: 'This is what God has given, there is no power except by God.' You see me as being less than you in wealth and in children?"
18:95
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنَنِي فِيه ِِ رَبِّي خَيْر ٌ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْما ً
Qāla Mā Makkananī Fīhi Rabbī Khayrun Fa'a`īnūnī Biqūwatin 'Aj`al Baynakum Wa Baynahum Radmāan
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."
19:12
يَايَحْيَى خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّة ٍ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيّا ً
Yā Yaĥyá Khudhi Al-Kitāba Biqūwatin Wa 'Ātaynāhu Al-Ĥukma Şabīyāan
"O John, take the Book with confidence." And We gave him authority while in his youth.
27:33
قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُوْلُوا قُوَّة ٍ وَأُولُوا بَأْس ٍ شَدِيد ٍ وَالأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَانظُرِي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ
Qālū Naĥnu 'Ūlū Qūwatin Wa 'Ūlū Ba'sin Shadīdin Wa Al-'Amru 'Ilayki Fānžurī Mādhā Ta'murīna
They said: "We are a people of strength and mighty in power. But the decision is yours, so see what you will command."
28:76
إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى فَبَغَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَآتَيْنَاه ُُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَه ُُ لَتَنُوءُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَه ُُ قَوْمُهُ لاَ تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِينَ

Qaroon was from among the people of Moses, but he betrayed them. And We gave him such treasures that the keys thereof were almost too heavy for the strongest person. His people said to him: "Do not glee, for God does not love the gleeful."
28:78
قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُه ُُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ عِندِي أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِه ِِ مِنَ القُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّة ً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعا ً وَلاَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

He said: "I have attained all this only because of my own knowledge." Did he not realize that God had annihilated before him generations that were much stronger than he, and greater in riches? The transgressors were not asked about their crimes.
30:9
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّة ً وَأَثَارُوا الأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Did they not roam the earth and see how it ended for those before them? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and they built in it far more than these have built, and their messengers came to them with the proofs. God was not to wrong them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
30:54

God is the One who has created you from weakness, then He made strength after the weakness, then He makes after the strength a weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills and He is the Knowledgeable, the Capable.
30:54

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّة ً وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَه ُُ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّه ُُ كَانَ عَلِيما ً قَدِيرا ً
'Awalam Yasīrū Fī Al-'ArĐi Fayanžurū Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Wa Kānū 'Ashadda Minhum Qūwatan Wa Mā Kāna Allāhu Liyu`jizahu Min Shay'in Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Lā Fī Al-'ArĐi 'Innahu Kāna `Alīmāan Qadīrāan
Did they not roam the earth and note how was the consequence for those who were before them? And they were even more powerful than they in strength. But nothing can inhibit God be it in the heavens, or the earth. He is Knowledgeable, Omnipotent.
40:21
أَوَ لَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّة ً وَآثَارا ً فِي الأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَاق ٍ

Have they not roamed the earth and seen how was the consequence of those who were before them? They used to be stronger than they, and had built more in the land. But God seized them for their sins, and they had no protector against God.
40:82
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّة ً وَآثَارا ً فِي الأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
'Afalam Yasīrū Fī Al-'ArĐi Fayanžurū Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Kānū 'Akthara Minhum Wa 'Ashadda Qūwatan Wa 'Āthārāan Fī Al-'ArĐi Famā 'Aghná `Anhum Mā Kānū Yaksibūna
Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who were before them? They used to be greater in number than them and mightier in strength, and they had built more in the land. Yet, all that they had earned could not avail them.
41:15
فَأَمَّا عَاد ٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّة ً وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ

As for Aad, they turned arrogant on the earth, without any right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in strength? Did they not see that God, who has created them, was mightier than they in strength? And they were denying Our revelations.
41:15

47:13
وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ هِيَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّة ً مِنْ قَرْيَتِكَ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَتْكَ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ فَلاَ نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ
Wa Ka'ayyin Min Qaryatin Hiya 'Ashaddu Qūwatan Min Qaryatika Allatī 'Akhrajatka 'Ahlaknāhum Falā Nāşira Lahum
And many a town was stronger than your own town, which drove you out. We destroyed them, and there was none who could help them.
