Sura al-Anʿām 6:125

فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّـهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّـهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

fa-man yuridi allāhu an yahdiyahu yashraḥ ṣadrahu lil-islāmi wa-man yurid an yuḍillahu yajʿal ṣadrahu ḍayyiqan ḥarajan ka-annamā yaṣṣaʿʿadu fī l-samāʾi ka-dhālika yajʿalu allāhu l-rijsa ʿalā lladhīna lā yuʾminūna

Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.

Sura al-Tawbah 9:25

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّـهُ فِى مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُم مُّدْبِرِينَ

la-qad naṣarakumu allāhu fī mawāṭina kathīratin wa-yawma ḥunaynin idh aʿjabatkum kathratukum falam tughni ʿankum shayʾan wa-ḍāqat ʿalaykumu l-arḍu bi-mā raḥubat thumma wallaytum mudbirīna

Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it is wide, did constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.

Sura al-Tawbah 9:118

وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا۟ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَن لَّا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّـهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

wa-ʿala l-thalāthati lladhīna khullifū ḥatta idhā ḍāqat ʿalayhimu l-arḍu bi-mā raḥubat wa-ḍāqat ʿalayhim anfusuhum wa-ẓannū an lā maljaʾa mina allāhi illā ilayhi thumma tāba ʿalayhim li-yatūbū inna allāha huwa l-tawwābu l-raḥīmu

(He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left behind; (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their (very) souls seemed straightened to them,- and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

Sura Hūd 11:12

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌۢ بِهِۦ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ وَٱللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ

fa-laʿallaka tārikun baʿḍa mā yūḥā ilayka wa-ḍāʾiqun bihi ṣadruka an yaqūlū lawlā unzila ʿalayhi kanzun aw jāa maʿahu malakun innamā anta nadhīrun wallāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin wakīlun

Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straightened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!

Sura Hūd 11:77

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ

wa-la-qad naʿlamu annaka yaḍīqu ṣadruka bi-mā yaqūlūna

We do indeed know how thy heart is distressed at what they say.

Sura al-Naḥl 16:127

وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّـهِ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

wa-iṣbir wa-mā ṣabruka illā billāhi wa-lā taḥzan ʿalayhim wa-lā taku fī ḍayqin mimmā yamkurūna

And do thou be patient, for thy patience is but from Allah; nor grieve over them: and distress not thyself because of their plots.

Sura al-Furqān 25:13

وَإِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا۟ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا

wa-idhā ulqū minhā makānan ḍayyiqan muqarranīna daʿaw hunālika thubūran

And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will pLead for destruction there and then!

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:13

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

wa-yaḍīqu ṣadrī wa-lā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa-arsil ilā hārūna

wa-lā taḥzan ʿalayhim wa-lā takun fī ḍayqin mimmā yamkurūna

But grieve not over them, nor distress thyself because of their plots.

Sura al-ʿAnkabūt 29:33

وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ

wa-lammā an jāʾat rusulunā lūṭan sīʾa bihim wa-ḍāqa bihim dharʿan wa-qālū lā takhaf wa-lā taḥzan innā munajjūka wa-ahlaka illā imraʾataka kānat mina l-ghābirīna

أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَإِن كُنَّ أُو۟لَٰتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنفِقُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأْتَمِرُوا۟ بَيْنَكُم بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَإِن تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخْرَىٰ

askinūhunna min ḥaythu sakantum min wujdikum wa-lā tuḍārrūhunna li-tuḍayyiqū ʿalayhinna wa-in kunna ūlāti ḥamlin faanfiqū ʿalayhinna ḥattā yaḍaʿna ḥamlahunna fa-in arḍaʿna la-kum fa-ātūhunna ujūrahunna wa-tamirū baynakum bi-maʿrūfin wa-in taʿāsartum fa-sa-turḍiʿu lahu ukhrā

Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf.
