[1:2]
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
[2:131]
When his Lord said to him, "Submit!" He said, "I have submitted to the Lord of the Worlds."
[3:97]
In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse—God is Independent of the worlds.
[6:162]
Say, "My prayer and my worship, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
[6:45]
Thus the last remnant of the people who did wrong was cut off. And praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
[7:61]
He said, "O my people, I am not in error, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds."
[7:67]
He said, "O my people! There is no foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.
[7:104]
Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds."
[7:121]
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the Worlds."
Go to Pharaoh, and say, 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the Worlds.
[26:98]
For equating you with the Lord of the Worlds.
[26:109]
I ask of you no payment for this. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
[26:127]
I ask of you no payment for this. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
[26:145]
I ask of you no payment for it. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
[26:164]
I ask of you no payment for it. My payment is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
47 Now I understand that the world to come will bring joy to only a few, but torment to many.
48 The evil impulse within us has grown and it has led us away from God's ways, brought us to ruin, put us on the way to death and destruction, and taken us far from life. It has destroyed not only a few, but almost everyone who was ever created."
49 "Listen to me," the angel said, "and I will teach you further and correct your thinking.
50 Because only a few will be saved, God created two worlds, instead of only one.
51 As you say, only a few people are righteous, but there are large numbers of wicked people. But listen:
52 If you had only a few precious stones, would you add lumps of lead and clay to them in order to have more?"
53 "Surely no one would do that, sir," I answered.
54 "Take another illustration," he continued. "The earth itself will give you an answer if you humbly ask it
55 whether it produces more gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, or clay.
56 There is more silver than gold, more copper than silver, more iron than copper, more lead than iron, and more clay than lead.
57 So judge for yourself which are more desirable and valuable, common things or rare things."
[10:10]
Their call therein is, "Glory be to You, our God." And their greeting therein is, "Peace." And the last of their call is, "Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds."
