يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تُبْطِلُوا صَدَقَاتِكُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالأَذَى كَالَّذِي يُنفِقُ مَالَه ُُ رِئَاءَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَمَثَلُه ُُ كَمَثَلِ صَفْوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ تُرَاب ٌ فَأَصَابَه ُُ وَابِل ٌ فَتَرَكَه ُُ صَلْدا ً لاَ يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى شَيْء ٍ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Lā Tubţilū Şadaqātikum Bil-Manni Wa Al-'Adhá Kālladhī Yunfiqu Mālahu Ri'ā'a An-Nāsi Wa Lā Yu'uminu Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-'Ākhiri Famathaluhu Kamathali Şafwānin `Alayhi Turābun Fa'aşābahu Wa Abilun Fatarakahu Şaldāan Lā Yaqdirūna `Alá Shay'in Mimmā Kasabū Wa Allāhu Lā Yahdī Al-Qawma Al-Kāfirīna
O you who believe, do not nullify your charities with insult and harm; like the one who spends his money in vanity to show off to the people, and he does not believe in God and the Last Day. His example is like a stone on which there is dust, then it is subjected to a heavy rain which leaves it bare. They cannot do anything with what they have earned; and God does not guide the rejecting people.
3:59
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَه ُُ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَه ُُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ
'Inna Mathala `Īsá `Inda Allāhi Kamathali 'Ādama Khalaqahu Min Turābin Thumma Qāla Lahu Kun Fayakūnu
The example of Jesus with God is similar to that of Adam; He created him from dust, then He said to him "Be" and he was.
22:5
يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْب ٍ مِنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَة ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُضْغَة ٍ مُخَلَّقَة ٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَة ٍ لِنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَى أَجَل ٍ مُسَمّى ً ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلا ً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُتَوَفَّى وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلاَ يَعْلَمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عِلْم ٍ شَيْئا ً وَتَرَى الأَرْضَ هَامِدَة ً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنْبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْج ٍ بَهِيج ٍ

O people, if you are in doubt as to the resurrection, then We have created you from dust, then from a seed, then from an embryo, then from a fetus developed and undeveloped so that We make it clear to you. And We settle in the wombs what We wish to an appointed time, then We bring you out a child, then you reach your maturity, and of you are those who will pass away, and of you are those who are sent to an old age where he will not be able to learn any new knowledge after what he already has. And you see the land still, but when We send down the water to it, it vibrates and grows, and it brings forth of every lovely pair.
30:20
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ~ِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ بَشَر ٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ
Wa Min 'Āyātihi 'An Khalaqakum Min Turābin Thumma 'Idhā 'Antum Basharun Tantashirūna
And from His signs is that He created you from dust, then you became human beings, spreading out.
50:3
أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابا ً ذَلِكَ رَجْع ٌ بَعِيد ٌ
'A'idhā Mitnā Wa Kunnā Turābāan Dhālika Raj`un Ba`īdun
Can it be that when we are dead and we become dust, that we come back later?
78:40
إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابا ً قَرِيبا ً يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاه ُُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَالَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابا ً
'Innā 'Andharnākum `Adhābāan Qarībāan Yawma Yanžuru Al-Mar'u Mā Qaddamat Yadāhu Wa Yaqūlu Al-Kāfiru Yā Laytanī Kuntu Turābāan
I have warned you of a retribution which is close, the Day when man will look at what he has brought forth and the rejecter will say: I wish I were dust!
