Surah Ar-Rum, verse 30:44We bestowed (in the past) Wisdom on Luqmān: "Show (thy) gratitude to God." Any who is (so) grateful Does so to the profit Of his own soul: but if Any is ungrateful, verily God is free of all wants, Worthy of all praise.

Surah Luqman, verse 31:28Verily the knowledge Of the Hour is With God (alone). It is He Who sends down Rain, and He Who knows What is in the wombs. Nor does any one know What it is that he will Earn on the morrow: Nor does any one know In what land he is To die. Verily with God Is full knowledge and He Is acquainted (with all things)

Surah As-Sajdah, verse 32:27The Prophet is closer To the Believers than Their own selves, And his wives are Their mothers. Blood-relations Among each other have Closer personal ties, In the Decree of God. Than (the Brotherhood of) Believers and Muhājirs: Nevertheless do ye What is just to your Closest friends: such is The writing in the Decree (Of God).
Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:6Behold! thou didst say To one who had received The grace of God And thy favour: "Retain thou (In wedlock) thy wife, And fear God." But thou Didst hide in thy heart That which God was about To make manifest: thou didst Fear the people, but it is More fitting that thou shouldst Fear God. Then when Zaid Had dissolved (his marriage) With her, with the necessary (Formality), We joined her In marriage to thee: In order that (in future) There may be no difficulty To the Believers in (the matter Of) marriage with the wives Of their adopted sons, when The latter have dissolved With the necessary (formality) (Their marriage) with them. And God's command must Be fulfilled.
Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:37O Prophet! We have Made lawful to thee Thy wives to whom thou Hast paid their dowers; And those whom thy Right hand possesses out of The prisoners of war whom God has assigned to thee; And daughters of thy paternal Uncles and aunts, and daughters Of thy maternal uncles And aunts, who migrated (From Mecca) with thee; And any believing woman Who dedicates her soul To the Prophet if the Prophet Wishes to wed her;—this Only for thee, and not For the Believers (at large); We know what We have Appointed for them as to Their wives and the captives Whom their right hands Possess;—in order that There should be no difficulty For thee. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:50But they said: "Our Lord! Place longer distances Between our journey-stages": But they wronged themselves (therein). At length We made them As a tale (that is told), And We dispersed them All in scattered fragments. Verily in this are Signs For every (soul that is) Patiently constant and grateful.
Surah Saba, verse 34:19Say: "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss Of my own soul: but if I receive guidance, it is Because of the inspiration Of my Lord to me: It is He Who hears All things, and is (ever) near."
Surah Saba, verse 34:50Is he, then, to whom The evil of his conduct Is made alluring, so That he looks upon it As good, (equal to one Who is rightly guided)? For God leaves to stray Whom He wills, and guides Whom He wills. So Let not thy soul go out In (vainly) sighing after them: For God knows well All that they do!
Surah Fatir, verse 35:8Nor can a bearer of burdens Bear another's burden. If one heavily laden should Call another to (bear) his load, Not the least portion of it Can be carried (by the other), Even though he be nearly Related. Thou canst but Admonish such as fear Their Lord unseen And establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself Does so for the benefit Of his own soul; and The destination (of all) Is to God.

Such is God, your Lord And Cherisher: to Him belongs (All) dominion. There is No god but He: then How are ye turned away (From your true Centre)?
