Sura al-Baqara 2:130

وَمَن يَرْغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُۥ وَلَقَدِ ٱصْطَفَيْنَٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

wa-man yarghabu ʿan millati ibrāhīma illā man safiha nafsahu walaqadi ṣṭafaynāhu fī l-dunyā wa-innahu fī l-akhirati la-mina l-ṣāliḥīna

And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:144

قَالَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى ٱصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِرِسَٰلَٰتِى وَبِكَلَٰمِى فَخُذْ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ

qalā yā-mūsā innī iṣṭafaytuka ʿalā l-nāsi bi-risālātī wa-bikalāmī fa-khudh mā ātaytuka wa-kun mina l-shākirīna

(Allah) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks."

Sura al-Faṭīr 35:32

ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّـهِ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

thumma awrathnā l-kitāba lladhīna iṣṭafaynā min ʿibādinā fa-minhum ẓālimun li-nafsihi wa-minhum muqtaṣidun wa-minhum sābiqun bil-khayrāti bi-idhni allāhi dhālika huwa l-faḍlu l-kabīru

Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are, by Allah's leave, foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.
