Examples from Qur'aan al-Kareem

Translation by Yusuf Ali

2:214 am Hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa ya'tikum mathalulladhiina khalaw min qablikum* massat-humul ba'saau waD Darraau wa zulziluu Hattaa yaquular rasuulu walladhiina aamanuu ma'Ahuu mataa naSrullaah* alaa inna naSrallaahi qariib

Meaning: Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Apostle and those of faith who were with him cried: "When (will come) the help of God?" Ah! Verily, the help of God is (always) near!

3:142 am Hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa ya'Ålamillaahulladhiina jaahaduu minkum wa ya'ÅlamaS Saabiriin

Meaning: Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without God testing those of you who fought hard (In His Cause) and remained steadfast?

5:71 wa Hasibuu allaa takuuna fitnatun fa'Amuu wa Sammuu thumma taaballaahu 'Alayhim thumma 'Amuu wa Sammuu kathiirum minhum* wallaahu baSiyrum bimaa ya'Åmaluun

Meaning: They thought there would be no trial (or punishment); so they became blind and deaf; yet God (in mercy) turned to them; yet again many of them became blind and deaf. But God sees well all that they do.

9:16 am Hasibtum an tutrakuu wa lammaa ya'Ålamillaahulladhiina jaahaduu minkum wa lam yattakhidhuu min duunillaahi wa laa rasuulihii wa lal mu-miniina waliijah* wallaahu khabiirum bimaa ta'Åmaluun

Meaning: Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as though God did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except God, His Apostle, and the (community of) Believers? But God is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
