Sura al-Baqara 2:256

لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّـهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا وَٱللَّـهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

lā ikrāha fī l-dīni qad tabayyana l-rushdu mina l-ghayyi fa-man yakfur bil-ṭāghūti wa-yuʾmin billāhi fa-qadi istamsaka bil-ʿurwati l-wuthqā lā infiṣāma lahā wallāhu samīʿun ʿalīmun

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

Sura al-Māʾidah 5:4

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّـهُ فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّآ أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّـهِ عَلَيْهِ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

yasʾalūnaka mādhā uḥilla lahum qul uḥilla lakumu l-ṭayyibātu wa-mā ʿallamtum mina l-jawāriḥi mukallibīna tuʿallimūnahunna mimmā ʿallamakumu allāhu fa-kulū mimmā amsakna ʿalaykum wa-idhkurū isma allāhi ʿalayhi wa-ittaqū allāha inna allāha sarīʿu l-ḥisābi

They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all) things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to you by Allah: eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account.

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:170

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ

yatawāra mina l-qawmi min sūi mā bushshira bihi ayumsikuhu ʿalā hūnin am yadussuhu fī l-turābi āla sāa mā yaḥkumūna

With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance and) contempt, or bury it in the dust? Ah! what an evil (choice) they decide on?

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَٰتٍ فِى جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّـهُ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

a-lam yaraw ilā l-ṭayri musakhkharātin fī jawwi l-samāʾi mā yumsikuhunna illā allāhu inna fī dhālika la-āyātin li-qawmin yuʾminūna

a-lam tara annā allāha sakhkhara la-kum mā fī l-arḍi wa-l-fulka tajrī fī l-baḥri bi-amrihi wa-yumsiku l-samāʾa an taqaʿa ʿalā l-arḍi illā bi-idhnihi inna allāha bil-nāsi la-raʾūfun raḥīmun

Seest thou not that Allah has made subject to you (men) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the sky (rain) from failing on the earth except by His leave: for Allah is Most Kind and Most Merciful to man.

Sura Luqmān 31:22

وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّـهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ وَإِلَى ٱللَّـهِ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْأُمُورِ

mā yaftaḥi allāhu lil-nāsi min rraḥmatin fa-lā mumsika lahā wa-mā yumsik fa-lā mursila lahu min baʿdihi wa-huwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu

إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ يُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

ٱللَّـهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

allāhu yatawaffā l-anfusa ḥīna mawtihā wa-allatī lam tamut fī manāmihā fayumsiku allatī qaḍa ʿalayhā l-mawtā wa-yursilu l-ukhrā ila ajalin musamman inna fī dhālika la-āyātin li-qawmin yatafakkarūna

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.

Sura al-Mulk 67:19

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَٰٓفَّٰتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۭ بَصِيرٌ

a-wa-lam yaraw ilā l-ṭayri fawqahum ṣāffātin wa-yaqbiḍna mā yumsikuhunna illā l-raḥmānu innahu bi-kulli shayʾin baṣīrun

Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.

Sura al-Mulk 67:21

أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ

a-man hādhā alladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjū fī ʿutuwwin wa-nufūrin

Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).
