Examples from Qur'aan al-Kareem

Translation by Yusuf Ali

7:155 wakhtaara muusaa qawmahuu sab'Iyna rajulal li miiqaatinaa* falammaa akhadhathumur rajfatu qaala rabbi law $i'ta ahlaktahum min qablu wa iyyaay* a tuhlikunaa bimaa fa'Alas sufahaau minnaa* in hiya illaa fitnatuk* tuDillu bihaa man ta$aa'u wa tahdii man ta$aa'u* anta waliyyunaa fagfir lanaa warHamnaa wa anta khayrul gaafiriin

Meaning: And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive.


7:161 wa idh qiyla lahumuskunuu haadhihil qaryata wa kuluu minhaa Haythu $i'tum wa quuluu HiTTatuw wadkhulul baaba sujjadan nagfirlakum khaTiy-aatikum* sanaziidul muHsiniin

Meaning: And remember it was said to them: "Dwell in this town and eat therein as ye wish, but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility: We shall forgive you your faults; We shall increase (the portion of) those who do good."
