[And do not those who denied see that the heavens and earth were of one substance, then We separated them and made from water every living thing? ]

(XXXV. Fatir:41)

[We have decreed among you death, and We shall not be outdone in changing your forms, and bringing you forth into that which you know not. And you have known the first creation, so why then, do you not reflect? ]

(LVI Waqiah: 602)

[This is but a remembrance to the worlds, for whosoever wishes among you to do right... ]

(LXXXI Takwir: 278)

[By (the symbol of) time, verily man is in loss, except for those who believe and do good works, and assist one another in truth and in constancy. ]
