3:153
إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَلاَ تَلْوُونَ عَلَى أَحَد ٍ وَالرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ فِي أُخْرَاكُمْ فَأَثَابَكُمْ غَمّا ً بِغَمّ ٍ لِكَيْلاَ تَحْزَنُوا عَلَى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلاَ مَا أَصَابَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ خَبِير ٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
'Idh Tuş`idūna Wa Lā Talwūna `Alá 'Aĥadin Wa Ar-Rasūlu Yad`ūkum Fī 'Ukhrākum Fa'athābakum Ghammāan Bighammin Likaylā Taĥzanū `Alá Mā Fātakum Wa Lā Mā 'Aşābakum Wa Allāhu Khabīrun Bimā Ta`malūna
For you were ascending to the high ground and would not even glance towards anyone, and the messenger was calling to you from behind. Therefore He gave you worry to replace your worry, so that you would not have sadness by what has passed you, or for what afflicted you, and God is Expert over what you do.
57:23
لِكَيْلاَ تَأْسَوْا عَلَى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلاَ تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَال ٍ فَخُور ٍ
Likaylā Ta'saw `Alá Mā Fātakum Wa Lā Tafraĥū Bimā 'Ātākum Wa Allāhu Lā Yuĥibbu Kulla Mukhtālin Fakhūrin
In order that you do not despair over anything that has passed you by, nor be happy of anything He has bestowed upon you. God does not love those who are boastful, proud.
60:11
وَإِنْ فَاتَكُمْ شَيْء ٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَآتُوا الَّذِينَ ذَهَبَتْ أَزْوَاجُهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا أَنفَقُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنْتُمْ بِه ِِ مُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa 'In Fātakum Shay'un Min 'Azwājikum 'Ilá Al-Kuffāri Fa`āqabtum Fa'ātū Al-Ladhīna Dhahabat 'Azwājuhum Mithla Mā 'Anfaqū Wa Attaqū Allāha Al-Ladhī 'Antum Bihi Mu'uminūna
And if any of your wives have gone-over to the camp of the rejecters, and you are granted victory over them, then you shall compensate those whose wives have gone-over, to the equivalent of what dowry they spent. And be aware of God, in whom you believe.
n.vb.

وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ فَزِعُوا فَلاَ فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا مِنْ مَكَان ٍ قَرِيب ٍ
Wa Law Tará 'Idh Fazi`ū Falā Fawta Wa 'Ukhidhū Min Makānin Qarībin
And if you could but see, when they will be terrified with no escape, and they will be taken from a place that is near.

الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَات ٍ طِبَاقا ً مَا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُت ٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُور ٍ
Al-Ladhī Khalaqa Sab`a Samāwātin Ţibāqāan Mā Tará Fī Khalqi Ar-Raĥmāni Min Tafāwutin Fārji`i Al-Başara Hal Tará Min Fuţūrin
He created seven heavens in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Almighty. Keep looking; do you see any flaw?
