وَمِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ إِلاَّ أَمَانِيَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلاَّ يَظُنُّونَ
Wa Minhum 'Ummīyūna Lā Ya`lamūna Al-Kitāba 'Illā 'Amānīya Wa 'In Hum 'Illā Yažunnūna
And among them are Gentiles who do not know the Book except by hearsay, and they only conjecture.
2:111
وَقَالُوا لَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصَارَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَادِقِين
Wa Qālū Lan Yadkhula Al-Jannata 'Illā Man Kāna Hūdāan 'Aw Naşārá Tilka 'Amānīyuhum Qul Hātū Burhānakum 'In Kuntum Şādiqīn
And they said: "None shall enter the Paradise except those who are Jewish or Nazarenes;" this is what they wish! Say: "Bring forth your proof if you are truthful."
4:123
لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلاَ أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءا ً يُجْزَ بِه ِِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَه ُُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيّا ً وَلاَ نَصِيرا ً
Laysa Bi'amānīyikum Wa Lā 'Amānīyi 'Ahli Al-Kitābi Man Ya`mal Sū'āan Yujza Bihi Wa Lā Yajid Lahu Min Dūni Allāhi Walīyāan Wa Lā Naşīrāan
It will not be by what you desire, nor by what the people of the Book desire. Whoever works evil, he will be paid for it; and he will not find for himself besides God any supporter or victor.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَسُول ٍ وَلاَ نَبِيّ ٍ إِلاَّ إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَلْقَى الشَّيْطَانُ فِي أُمْنِيَّتِه ِِ فَيَنْسَخُ اللَّهُ مَا يُلْقِي الشَّيْطَانُ ثُمَّ يُحْكِمُ اللَّهُ آيَاتِه ِِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيم ٌ
Wa Mā 'Arsalnā Min Qablika Min Rasūlin Wa Lā Nabīyin 'Illā 'Idhā Tamanná 'Alqá Ash-Shayţānu Fī 'Umnīyatihi Fayansakhu Allāhu Mā Yulqī Ash-Shayţānu Thumma Yuĥkimu Allāhu 'Āyātihi Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Ĥakīmun
And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet, without having the devil interfere with his wishes. God then overrides what the devil has cast, and God secures His revelations. And God is Knower, Wise.
57:14
يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُنْ مَعَكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الأَمَانِيُّ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ
Yunādūnahum 'Alam Nakun Ma`akum Qālū Balá Wa Lakinnakum Fatantum 'Anfusakum Wa Tarabbaştum Wa Artabtum Wa Gharratkumu Al-'Amānīyu Ĥattá Jā'a 'Amru Allāhi Wa Gharrakum Billāhi Al-Gharūru
They will call upon them: Were we not with you? They will reply: Yes, but you led yourselves into temptation, and you hesitated, and doubted, and became misled by wishful thinking, until the judgment of God came. You were diverted from God by arrogance.

وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ آذَانَ الأَنعَام وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يَتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطَانَ وَلِيّا ً مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانا ً مُبِينا ً
Wa La'uĐillannahum Wa La'umanniyannahum Wa La'āmurannahum Falayubattikunna 'Ādhāna Al-'An`ām Wa La'āmurannahum Falayughayyirunna Khalqa Allāhi Wa Man Yattakhidhi Ash-Shayţāna Walīyāan Min Dūni Allāhi Faqad Khasira Khusrānāan Mubīnāan
"And I will misguide them and make them desire, and I will command them, so that they will mark the ears of the livestock, and I will command them so they will make changes to the creation of God." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than God, then he has indeed lost a great loss.
4:120
يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلاَّ غُرُورا ً
Ya`iduhum Wa Yumannīhim Wa Mā Ya`iduhumu Ash-Shayţānu 'Illā Ghurūrāan
He promises them and makes them desire, but what the devil promises them is only vanity.

وَأَصْبَحَ الَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَه ُُ بِالأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه ِِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَوْلاَ أَنْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا وَيْكَأَنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ
Wa 'Aşbaĥa Al-Ladhīna Tamannaw Makānahu Bil-'Amsi Yaqūlūna Wayka'anna Allāha Yabsuţu Ar-Rizqa Liman Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi Wa Yaqdiru Lawlā 'An Manna Allāhu `Alaynā Lakhasafa Binā Wayka'annahu Lā Yufliĥu Al-Kāfirūna
And those who wished they were in his place the day before said: "Indeed it is God Who provides or restricts for whoever He chooses from among His servants. Had it not been for the grace of God towards us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us as well. We now realize that the rejecters never succeed."

Wa Lan Yatamannawhu 'Abadāan Bimā Qaddamat 'Aydīhim Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Biž-žālimīna
They will never wish for it because of what their hands have delivered; and God is aware of the wicked.
3:143
وَلَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَمَنَّوْن الْمَوْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلْقَوْهُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوه ُُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ
Wa Laqad Kuntum Tatamannawn Al-Mawta Min Qabli 'An Talqawhu Faqad Ra'aytumūhu Wa 'Antum Tanžurūna
And you used to long for death before you came upon it; so now you see it right in-front of you!
4:32
وَلاَ تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِه ِِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْض ٍ لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيب ٌ مِمَّا اكْتَسَبُوا وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيب ٌ مِمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ~ِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيما ً
Wa Lā Tatamannaw Mā FaĐĐala Allāhu Bihi Ba`Đakum `Alá Ba`Đin Lilrrijāli Naşībun Mimmā Aktasabū Wa Lilnnisā'i Naşībun Mimmā Aktasabna Wa As'alū Allāha Min FaĐlihi 'Inna Allāha Kāna Bikulli Shay'in `Alīmāan
And do not envy that which God has graced some of you over others with. For the men is a portion of what they earned, and for the women is a portion of what they earned. And ask God from His grace; God is knowledgeable in all things.
62:7
وَلاَ يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُ~ُ أَبَدا ً بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيم ٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ
Wa Lā Yatamannawnahu 'Abadāan Bimā Qaddamat 'Aydīhim Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Biž-žālimīna
But they will never long for it, because of what their hands have delivered. God is fully aware of the wicked.

قُلْ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَالِصَة ً مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوْا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Qul 'In Kānat Lakumu Ad-Dāru Al-'Ākhiratu `Inda Allāhi Khālişatan Min Dūni An-Nāsi Fatamannaw Al-Mawta 'In Kuntum Şādiqīna
Say: "If the abode of the Hereafter has been set exclusively for you with God, to the exception of all other people, then you should wish for death if you are truthful!"
62:6
قُلْ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ هَادُوا إِنْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ لِلَّهِ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوْا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
