وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوه ُُ وَمَا صَلَبُوه ُُ وَلَكِنْ شُبِّه ََ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيه ِِ لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْهُ مَا لَهُمْ بِه ِِ مِنْ عِلْم ٍ إِلاَّ اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوه ُُ يَقِينا ً
Wa Qawlihim 'Innā Qatalnā Al-Masīĥa `Īsá Abna Maryama Rasūla Allāhi Wa Mā Qatalūhu Wa Mā Şalabūhu Wa Lakin Shubbiha Lahum Wa 'Inna Al-Ladhīna Akhtalafū Fīhi Lafī Shakkin Minhu Mā Lahum Bihi Min `Ilmin 'Illā Attibā`a Až-žanni Wa Mā Qatalūhu Yaqīnāan
And their saying: "We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, messenger of God!" And they had not killed him, nor crucified him, but it appeared to them as if they had. And those who dispute are in doubt regarding him, they have no knowledge except to follow conjecture; they did not kill him for a certainty.
10:94
فَإِنْ كُنْتَ فِي شَكّ ٍ مِمَّا أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المُمْتَرِينَ

If you are in doubt regarding what We have sent down to you, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
10:104
قُلْ يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْ دِينِي فَلاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Qul Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nāsu 'In Kuntum Fī Shakkin Min Dīnī Falā 'A`budu Al-Ladhīna Ta`budūna Min Dūni Allāhi Wa Lakin 'A`budu Allāha Al-Ladhī Yatawaffākum Wa 'Umirtu 'An 'Akūna Mina Al-Mu'uminīna
Say: "O people, if you are in doubt of my system, then I do not serve those whom you serve besides God. But I serve God; the One who will terminate your lives; and I have been commanded to be of the believers."
11:62
قَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوّا ً قَبْلَ هَذَا أَتَنْهَانَا أَنْ نَعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَا إِلَيْهِ مُرِيب ٍ

They said: "O Saleh, you were well liked among us before this. Do you prohibit us from serving what our fathers served? We are in serious doubt as to what you are inviting us."
11:110
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيه ِِ وَلَوْلاَ كَلِمَة ٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْهُ مُرِيب ٍ
Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Mūsá Al-Kitāba Fākhtulifa Fīhi Wa Lawlā Kalimatun Sabaqat Min Rabbika LaquĐiya Baynahum Wa 'Innahum Lafī Shakkin Minhu Murībin
And We gave Moses the Book, yet they disputed in it; and had it not been for a word which was already given by your Lord, their case would have been judged immediately. They are in grave doubt concerning it.
14:9
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوح ٍ وَعَاد ٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرَدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا إِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُمْ بِه ِِ وَإِنَّا لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنَا إِلَيْهِ مُرِيب ٍ

Did not news come to you of those before you: the people of Noah, and 'Aad, and Thamud, and those after them whom none know except God? Their messengers came to them with clarity, but they placed their hands onto their mouths and said: "We are rejecting what you have been sent with, and we are in doubt as to what you are inviting us to."
14:10
قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِي اللَّهِ شَكّ ٌ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ إِلَى أَجَل ٍ مُسَمّى ً قَالُوا إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلاَّ بَشَر ٌ مِثْلُنَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصُدُّونَا عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا فَأْتُونَا بِسُلْطَان ٍ مُبِين ٍ

Their messengers said: "Is there doubt regarding God, the initiator of the heavens and the earth? He invites you so that He may forgive some of your sins, and delay you to an appointed term." They said: "You are merely human beings like us; you wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to serve. So come to us with a clear proof."
27:66
بَلْ ادَّارَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْهَا بَلْ هُمْ مِنْهَا عَمُونَ
Bal Addāraka `Ilmuhum Fī Al-'Ākhirati Bal Hum Fī Shakkin Minhā Bal Hum Minhā `Amūna
No, they have no knowledge of the Hereafter. No, they are in doubt regarding it. No, they are blind to it.
34:21
وَمَا كَانَ لَه ُُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سُلْطَان ٍ إِلاَّ لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِالآخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِي شَكّ ٍ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيظ ٌ
Wa Mā Kāna Lahu `Alayhim Min Sulţānin 'Illā Lina`lama Man Yu'uminu Bil-'Ākhirati Mimman Huwa Minhā Fī Shakkin Wa Rabbuka `Alá Kulli Shay'in Ĥafīžun
And he did not have any authority over them except that We might distinguish those who believed in the Hereafter from those who are doubtful about it. And your Lord is Keeper over all things.
34:54
وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِي شَكّ ٍ مُرِيب ٍ

And a barrier will be set between them and what they had desired, as was done for their counterparts before. They have been in grave doubt.
38:8
أَؤُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْ ذِكْرِي بَلْ لَمَّا يَذُوقُوا عَذَابِ

"Has the remembrance been sent down to him, from between all of us!" Indeed, they are doubtful of My reminder. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My retribution.
40:34
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِنْ قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكّ ٍ مِمَّا جَاءَكُمْ بِه ِِ حَتَّى إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِه ِِ رَسُولا ً كَذَلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِف ٌ مُرْتَاب ٌ
Wa Laqad Jā'akum Yūsufu Min Qablu Bil-Bayyināti Famā Ziltum Fī Shakkin Mimmā Jā'akum Bihi Ĥattá 'Idhā Halaka Qultum Lan Yab`atha Allāhu Min Ba`dihi Rasūlāan Kadhālika YuĐillu Allāhu Man Huwa Musrifun Murtābun
And Joseph had come to you before with proofs, but you remained in doubt regarding what he came to you with, until when he died, you said: God will not send any messenger after him. It is such that God sends astray he who is a transgressor, doubter.
41:45
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيه ِِ وَلَوْلاَ كَلِمَة ٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْهُ مُرِيب ٍ

And We have given Moses the Book, but it was disputed in. And had it not been for the predetermined decision of your Lord, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, they harbor many doubts about it.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوا إِلاَّ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيا ً بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَوْلاَ كَلِمَة ٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِلَى أَجَل ٍ مُسَمّى ً لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُورِثُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِنْهُ مُرِيب ٍ
Wa Mā Tafarraqū 'Illā Min Ba`di Mā Jā'ahumu Al-`Ilmu Baghyāan Baynahum Wa Lawlā Kalimatun Sabaqat Min Rabbika 'Ilá 'Ajalin Musammáan LaquĐiya Baynahum Wa 'Inna Al-Ladhīna 'Ūrithū Al-Kitāba Min Ba`dihim Lafī Shakkin Minhu Murībin
And they only divided after the knowledge had come to them, due to resentment among themselves. And had it not been for a predetermined decision from your Lord, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, those who inherited the Book after them are full of doubts.
