أُوْلَائِكَ لَهُمْ نَصِيب ٌ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
'Ūlā'ika Lahum Naşībun Mimmā Kasabū Wa Allāhu Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
These will have a benefit for what they have earned; and God is swift in reckoning
3:19
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلاَمُ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلاَّ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيا ً بَيْنَهُمْ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
'Inna Ad-Dīna `Inda Allāhi Al-'Islāmu Wa Mā Akhtalafa Al-Ladhīna 'Ūtū Al-Kitāba 'Illā Min Ba`di Mā Jā'ahumu Al-`Ilmu Baghyāan Baynahum Wa Man Yakfur Bi'āyāti Allāhi Fa'inna Allāha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
The system with God is submission, and those who received the Book did not dispute except after the knowledge came to them out of jealousy between them. And whoever rejects the revelations of God, then God is swift in judgment.
3:199
وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَاشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لاَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنا ً قَلِيلاً أُوْلَائِكَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Wa 'Inna Min 'Ahli Al-Kitābi Laman Yu'uminu Billāhi Wa Mā 'Unzila 'Ilaykum Wa Mā 'Unzila 'Ilayhim Khāshi`īna Lillāhi Lā Yashtarūna Bi'āyāti Allāhi Thamanāan Qalīlāan 'Ūlā'ika Lahum 'Ajruhum `Inda Rabbihim 'Inna Allāha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
And from the people of the Book are those who believe in God and what was sent down to you and what was sent down to them; fearful to God, they do not purchase with the revelations of God a cheap price. These will have their recompense with their Lord. For God is swift in reckoning.
5:4
يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Yas'alūnaka Mādhā 'Uĥilla Lahum Qul 'Uĥilla Lakumu Aţ-Ţayyibātu Wa Mā `Allamtum Mina Al-Jawāriĥi Mukallibīna Tu`allimūnahunna Mimmā `Allamakumu Allāhu Fakulū Mimmā 'Amsakna `Alaykum Wa Adhkurū Asma Allāhi `Alayhi Wa Attaqū Allāha 'Inna Allāha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
They ask you what was made lawful to them, say: "All the good things have been made lawful for you, and what the trained dogs and birds catch, you teach them from what God teaches you." So eat from what they have captured for you and mention the name of God upon it, and be aware of God. God is swift in reckoning.
6:62
ثُمَّ رُدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاَهُمُ الْحَقِّ أَلاَ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ الْحَاسِبِينَ
Thumma Ruddū 'Ilá Allāhi Mawlāhumu Al-Ĥaqqi 'Alā Lahu Al-Ĥukmu Wa Huwa 'Asra`u Al-Ĥāsibīna
Then they are returned to God, their true Patron; to Him is the judgment and He is the swiftest of reckoners.
6:165
وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلاَئِفَ الأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْض ٍ دَرَجَات ٍ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آتَاكُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّه ُُ لَغَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Ja`alakum Khalā'ifa Al-'ArĐi Wa Rafa`a Ba`Đakum Fawqa Ba`Đin Darajātin Liyabluwakum Fī Mā 'Ātākum 'Inna Rabbaka Sarī`u Al-`Iqābi Wa 'Innahu Laghafūrun Raĥīmun
And He is the One who made you inheritors on the earth, and He raised some of you over others in grades, to test you with what He had given you. Your Lord is swift to punishment, and He is Forgiving, Merciful.
7:167
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّه ُُ لَغَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ
Wa 'Idh Ta'adhdhana Rabbuka Layab`athanna `Alayhim 'Ilá Yawmi Al-Qiyāmati Man Yasūmuhum Sū'a Al-`Adhābi 'Inna Rabbaka Lasarī`u Al-`Iqābi Wa 'Innahu Laghafūrun Raĥīmun
And your Lord has sworn that He will send upon them, until the Day of Resurrection, people who would inflict severe punishments on them. Your Lord is swift to punish, and He is Forgiving, Merciful.
10:21
وَإِذَا أَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَة ً مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّاءَ مَسَّتْهُمْ إِذَا لَهُمْ مَكْر ٌ فِي آيَاتِنَا قُلِ اللَّهُ أَسْرَعُ مَكْرا ً إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكْتُبُونَ مَا تَمْكُرُون
Wa 'Idhā 'Adhaqnā An-Nāsa Raĥmatan Min Ba`di Đarrā'a Massat/hum 'Idhā Lahum Makrun Fī 'Āyātinā Quli Allāhu 'Asra`u Makrāan 'Inna Rusulanā Yaktubūna Mā Tamkurūn
And if We let the people taste a mercy after some harm had afflicted them, they take to scheming against Our revelations! Say: "God is faster in scheming;" Our messengers record what you scheme.
13:41
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَأْتِي الأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا وَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لاَ مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِه ِِ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
'Awalam Yaraw 'Annā Na'tī Al-'ArĐa Nanquşuhā Min 'Aţrāfihā Wa Allāhu Yaĥkumu Lā Mu`aqqiba Liĥukmihi Wa Huwa Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
Do they not see that We come to the land and reduce it from its ends? And God gives judgment and there is none to override His judgment. And He is swift to reckoning.
14:51
لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْس ٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Liyajziya Allāhu Kulla Nafsin Mā Kasabat 'Inna Allāha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
Thus God will recompense every soul for what it had earned. God is swift to reckoning.
24:39
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَاب ٍ بِقِيعَة ٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَه ُُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئا ً وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَه ُُ فَوَفَّاه ُُ حِسَابَه ُُ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'A`māluhum Kasarābin Biqī`atin Yaĥsabuhu Až-žam'ānu Mā'an Ĥattá 'Idhā Jā'ahu Lam Yajid/hu Shay'āan Wa Wajada Allāha `Indahu Fawaffāhu Ĥisābahu Wa Allāhu Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
As for those who reject, their works are like a mirage in the desert. A thirsty person thinks it is water, until he reaches it, he finds it is nothing; and he finds God there and He pays him his due, and God is swift in judgment.
40:17
الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْس ٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لاَ ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Al-Yawma Tujzá Kullu Nafsin Bimā Kasabat Lā žulma Al-Yawma 'Inna Allāha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi
Today, every soul will be recompensed for what it had earned. There will be no injustice today. Truly,God is swift in reckoning.
50:44
يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعا ً ذَلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِير ٌ
Yawma Tashaqqaqu Al-'ArĐu `Anhum Sirā`āan Dhālika Ĥashrun `Alaynā Yasīrun
The Day when the earth will rapidly crumble away from them; that will be a gathering which is easy for Us.
70:43
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعا ً كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُب ٍ يُوفِضُونَ
Yawma Yakhrujūna Mina Al-'Ajdāthi Sirā`āan Ka'annahum 'Ilá Nuşubin YūfiĐūna

3:114
يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَأُوْلَائِكَ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Yu'uminūna Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-'Ākhiri Wa Ya'murūna Bil-Ma`rūfi Wa Yanhawna `Ani Al-Munkari Wa Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-Khayrāti Wa 'Ūlā'ika Mina Aş-Şāliĥīna
They believe in God and the Last Day and order kindness and prohibit vice, and they hasten in goodness; these are of the good doers.
3:176
وَلاَ يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَضُرُّوا اللَّهَ شَيْئا ً يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَلاَّ يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظّا ً فِي الآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم ٌ
Wa Lā Yaĥzunka Al-Ladhīna Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-Kufri 'Innahum Lan YaĐurrū Allāha Shay'āan Yurīdu Allāhu 'Allā Yaj`ala Lahum Ĥažžāan Fī Al-'Ākhirati Wa Lahum `Adhābun `Ažīmun
And do not be saddened by those who rush into disbelief. They will not harm God in the least. God does not wish to make for them any share in the Hereafter, and they will have a painful retribution.
5:41
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لاَ يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْم ٍ آخَرِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِه ِِ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هَذَا فَخُذُوه ُُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوا وَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ فِتْنَتَه ُُ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَه ُُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً أُوْلَائِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْي ٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم ٌ

O messenger, do not be saddened by those who increase in disbelief from among those who said: "We believe" with their mouths while their hearts did not believe. And from among those who are Jewish, there are those who listened to lies; they listened to people who never came to you; they distort the words from their context, and they say: "If you are given this, then take it, but if you are given anything different, then beware!" And whoever God wants to test, then you will not possess anything for him against God. These are the ones whose hearts God did not want to cleanse; in this world they will have humiliation, and in the Hereafter they will have a great retribution.
5:52
فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَض ٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِم يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى أَنْ تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَة ٌ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْر ٍ مِنْ عِنْدِه ِِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ
Fatará Al-Ladhīna Fī Qulūbihim MaraĐun Yusāri`ūna Fīhim Yaqūlūna Nakhshá 'An Tuşībanā Dā'iratun Fa`asá Allāhu 'An Ya'tiya Bil-Fatĥi 'Aw 'Amrin Min `Indihi Fayuşbiĥū `Alá Mā 'Asarrū Fī 'Anfusihim Nādimīna
You will see those who have a disease in their hearts hurrying to them, saying: "We are concerned that a disaster will befall us!" Perhaps God will bring a victory or a decree from Himself, then they will become regretful over what they had kept hidden within themselves.
5:62
وَتَرَى كَثِيرا ً مِنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Wa Tará Kathīrāan Minhum Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-'Ithmi Wa Al-`Udwāni Wa 'Aklihimu As-Suĥta Labi'sa Mā Kānū Ya`malūna
And you see many of them hasten to sin and transgression and consuming money illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they were doing.
21:90
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَه ُُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَه ُُ يَحْيَى وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَه ُُ زَوْجَهُ~ُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبا ً وَرَهَبا ً وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ

So We responded to him, and We granted him John, and We cured his wife. They used to hasten to do good, and they would call to Us in joy and in fear. And of Us they were reverent.
23:56
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ بَل لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ
Nusāri`u Lahum Fī Al-Khayrāti Bal Lā Yash`urūna
We are quick to give them the good things. But they do not perceive.
23:61
أُوْلَائِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ
'Ūlā'ika Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-Khayrāti Wa Hum Lahā Sābiqūna
These are the ones who race in doing good, and they are the first to it.

3:133
وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَة ٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
Wa Sāri`ū 'Ilá Maghfiratin Min Rabbikum Wa Jannatin `ArĐuhā As-Samāwātu Wa Al-'ArĐu 'U`iddat Lilmuttaqīna
And race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the width of the heavens and of the earth; it has been prepared for the righteous.
