21:35(35)  Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall test you through suffering for your self-evolution with evil and with good, and to Us you will be returned.


21:83(10)  “AND remember Ayyub, when he cried out to his Sus¬tainer, “O Lord I have fallen into great harm/hardship in the fulfillment of my mission but I believe in you as the best provider of mercy and protection.”

21:84(10)  “Whereupon We responded unto him and removed all the difficulties/setbacks that he had sustained; and We made him join with his comrades and companions, and with many more of the same faith. It was a merciful provision for him from us, and a remembrance for our obedient servants”.


21:87(12)  AND remember the possessor of divine wisdom, Younus ( وذااالنُّ وِ ), when he went off highly displeased and disturbed (مُغَاضِبًا ), assuming that We may not evaluate his high status and his great struggle! Then in the darkness of despair he called out his Lord thus: “There is no authority except Thee! Limitless art Thou in Thy glory! Verily, I have been the one lost in darkness!”


21:88(12)  And so We responded unto him and delivered him from the state of grief and distress: for thus do We deliver all who have faith and work for peace.


21:95-96(23)  “It becomes a state of prohibition (حرام) imposed upon those communities (علیٰ قریۃ) whom violation of our laws have sunk into disgrace and oblivion (اھلکناھا), that they can’t regain their former status (یرجعون), unless the perpetrators of corruption in their societies (یاجوج و ماجوج) are conquered/overcome (فُتحت) and they are plucked apart from all higher posts of power and authority (من کل حدب) and thrown away by cutting into pieces (ینسلون).”
