The Quran

(Disclaimer: there are many translations of the Quran, with considerable differences among them. We have selected what seem to be the best translation).

The Quran (Abdul Haleem), Sūra 12: Yūsuf, Verse 101

“You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Let me die in true devotion to You. Join me with the righteous.“

The Quran (Tafheem-ul-Quran - Abul Ala Maududi), Sūra 16: An-Nahl, Verse 61

“And when that term arrives, they have no power to delay it by a single moment, nor to hasten it.”

The Quran (Maarif-ul-Quran), Sūra 57: Al-Hadīd, Verse 20

“Know well that the worldly life is but a play and an amusement, and a show of beauty, and exchange of boastful claims between you, and a competition of increase in riches and children. (All this is) like a rain, the vegetation of which attracts the farmers, then it withers, and you see it turning yellow, then it becomes straw. And in the Hereafter there is a severe punishment (for the disbelievers), and forgiveness from Allah and (Allah's) pleasure (for the believers and the righteous). And the worldly life is nothing but a material of delusion.”

The Quran (English Translation, Yusuf Ali), Sūra 89: Al-Fajr, Verses 27-30

“O soul, in complete rest and satisfaction! Come back thou to thy Lord, well pleased thyself, and well-pleasing unto Him. Enter thou, then, among My devotees! Yea, enter thou My Heaven!”
