[20:65] They said, “O Moses, either you throw, or we will be the first to throw.”

[20:66] He said, “You throw.” Whereupon, their ropes and sticks appeared to him, because of their magic, as if they were moving.

[26:43] Moses said to them “Throw what you are going to throw.”

[26:44] They threw their ropes and sticks, and said, “By Pharaoh’s majesty, we will be the victors.”

[26:45] Moses threw his staff, whereupon it swallowed what they fabricated.

Steps are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[2:168] O people, eat from the earth’s products all that is lawful and good, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.

[2:208] O you who believe, you shall embrace total submission; do not follow the steps of Satan, for he is your most ardent enemy.

[6:142] Some livestock supply you with transportation, as well as bedding materials. Eat from God’s provisions to you, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.

[18:64] (Moses) said, “That was the place we were looking for.” They traced their steps back.

[24:21] O you who believe, do not follow the steps of Satan. Anyone who follows the steps of Satan should know that he advocates evil and vice. If it were not for God’s grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But God purifies whomever He wills. God is Hearer, Knower.

Steadfastness is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[2:45] You shall seek help through steadfastness and the Contact Prayers (Salat). This is difficult indeed, but not so for the reverent,

[2:46] who believe that they will meet their Lord; that to Him they ultimately return.

[2:153] O you who believe, seek help through steadfastness and the Contact Prayers (Salat). God is with those who steadfastly persevere.

[2:250] When they faced Goliath and his troops, they prayed, “Our Lord, grant us steadfastness, strengthen our foothold, and support us against the disbelieving people.”

[7:126] “You persecute us simply because we believed in the proofs of our Lord when they came to us.” “Our Lord, grant us steadfastness, and let us die as submitters.”

[7:137] We let the oppressed people inherit the land, east and west, and we blessed it. The blessed commands of your Lord were thus fulfilled for the Children of Israel, to reward them for their steadfastness, and we annihilated the works of Pharaoh and his people and everything they harvested.

[23:111] “I have rewarded them today, in return for their steadfastness, by making them the winners.”

[25:75] These are the ones who attain Paradise in return for their steadfastness; they are received therein with joyous greetings and peace.

[76:12] He rewards them for their steadfastness with Paradise, and silk.

Statues are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[6:74] Recall that Abraham said to his father Azar, “How could you worship statues as gods? I see that you and your people have gone far astray.”

[7:138] We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. When they passed by people who were worshiping statues, they said, “O Moses, make a god for us, like the gods they have.” He said, “Indeed, you are ignorant people.

[21:52] He said to his father and his people, “What are these statues to which you are devoting yourselves?”

[21:53] They said, “We found our parents worshiping them.”

[21:54] He said, “Indeed, you and your parents have gone totally astray.”

[21:55] They said, “Are you telling us the truth, or are you playing?”

[21:56] He said, “Your only Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who created them. This is the testimony to which I bear witness.

[21:57] “I swear by God, I have a plan to deal with your statues, as soon as you leave.”

[21:58] He broke them into pieces, except for a big one, that they may refer to it.

[21:59] They said, “Whoever did this to our gods is really a transgressor.”

[21:60] They said, “We heard a youth threaten them; he is called Abraham.”

[21:61] They said, “Bring him before the eyes of all the people, that they may bear witness.”

[21:62] They said, “Did you do this to our gods, O Abraham?”

[21:63] He said, “It is that big one who did it. Go ask them, if they can speak.”

[21:64] They were taken aback, and said to themselves, “Indeed, you are the ones who have been transgressing.”

[21:65] Yet, they reverted to their old ideas: “You know full well that these cannot speak.”

[21:66] He said, “Do you then worship beside God what possesses no power to benefit you or harm you?

[21:67] “You have incurred shame by worshiping idols beside God. Do you not understand?”

[26:71] They said, “We worship statues; we are totally devoted to them.”

[34:13] They made for him anything he wanted – niches, statues, deep pools, and heavy cooking pots. O family of David, work (righteousness) to show your appreciation. Only a few of My servants are appreciative.

Stations are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[34:19] But they (turned unappreciative and) challenged: “Our Lord, we do not care if You increase the distance of our journeys (without any stations).” They thus wronged their own souls. Consequently, we made them history, and scattered them into small communities throughout the land. This should provide lessons for those who are steadfast, appreciative.

Statements are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[13:33] Is there any equal to the One who controls every single soul? Yet, they set up idols to rival God. Say, “Name them. Are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know? Or, are you fabricating empty statements?” Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve have been adorned in their eyes. They are thus diverted from the right path. Whomever God sends astray can never find a guiding teacher.

[27:19] He smiled and laughed at her statement, and said, “My Lord, direct me to be appreciative of the blessings You have bestowed upon me and my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Admit me by Your mercy into the company of Your righteous servants.”

[66:3] The prophet had trusted some of his wives with a certain statement, then one of them spread it, and God let him know about it. He then informed his wife of part of the issue, and disregarded part. She asked him, “Who informed you of this?” He said, “I was informed by the Omniscient, Most Cognizant.”

Stars are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[6:97] And He is the One who made the stars to guide you during the darkness, on land and on sea. We thus clarify the revelations for people who know.

[7:54] Your Lord is the one God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. The night overtakes the day, as it pursues it persistently, and the sun, the moon, and the stars are committed to serve by His command. Absolutely, He controls all creation and all commands. Most Exalted is God, Lord of the universe.

[16:12] And He commits, in your service, the night and the day, as well as the sun and the moon. Also, the stars are committed by His command. These are (sufficient) proofs for people who understand.

[16:15] And He placed stabilizers (mountains) on earth, lest it tumbles with you, as well as rivers and roads, that you may be guided.

[16:16] And landmarks, as well as the stars; to be used for navigation.

[22:18] Do you not realize that to God prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever God shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with God’s will.

[37:88] He looked carefully at the stars.

[37:89] Then he gave up and said, “I am tired of this!”

[52:49] Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as the stars fade away.

[53:1] As the stars fell away.

[53:2] Your friend (Muhammad) was not astray, nor was he deceived.

[55:6] The stars and the trees prostrate.

[56:75] I swear by the positions of the stars.

[56:76] This is an oath, if you only knew, that is awesome.

[56:77] This is an honorable Quran.

[56:78] In a protected book.

[56:79] None can grasp it except the sincere.

[77:8] Thus, when the stars are put out.

[77:9] The sky is opened up.

[77:10] The mountains are blown up.

[77:11] The messengers are summoned.

[77:12] That is the appointed day.

[77:13] The Day of Decision.

[81:1] When the sun is rolled.

[81:2] The stars are crashed into each other.

[81:3] The mountains are wiped out.

[81:4] The reproduction is halted.

[81:5] The beasts are summoned.

[81:6] The oceans are set aflame.

[81:7] The souls are restored to their bodies.

[81:8] The girl who was buried alive is asked:

[81:9] For what crime was she killed?

[81:10] The records are made known.

[81:11] The heaven is removed.

[81:12] Hell is ignited.

[81:13] Paradise is presented.

[81:14] Every soul will know everything it brought.

Standing is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[3:191] They remember God while standing, sitting, and on their sides, and they reflect upon the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create all this in vain. Be You glorified. Save us from the retribution of Hell.

[4:103] Once you complete your Contact Prayer (Salat), you shall remember God while standing, sitting, or lying down. Once the war is over, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat); the Contact Prayers (Salat) are decreed for the believers at specific times.

[10:12] When adversity touches the human being, he implores us while lying down, or sitting, or standing up. But as soon as we relieve his adversity, he goes on as if he never implored us to relieve any hardship! The works of the transgressors are thus adorned in their eyes.

[11:71] His wife was standing, and she laughed when we gave her the good news about Isaac, and after Isaac, Jacob.

[11:100] This is news from the past communities that we narrate to you. Some are still standing, and some have vanished.

[14:26] And the example of the bad word is that of a bad tree chopped at the soil level; it has no roots to keep it standing.

[22:36] The animal offerings are among the rites decreed by God for your own good. You shall mention God’s name on them while they are standing in line. Once they are offered for sacrifice, you shall eat therefrom and feed the poor and the needy. This is why we subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation.

[27:88] When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving, like the clouds. Such is the manufacture of God, who perfected everything. He is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

[29:35] We left standing some of their ruins, to serve as a profound lesson for people who understand.

[30:25] Among His proofs is that the heaven and the earth are standing at His disposal. Finally, when He calls you out of the earth, one call, you will immediately come out.

[46:25] It destroyed everything, as commanded by its Lord. By morning, nothing was standing except their homes. We thus requite the guilty people.

[59:5] Whether you chop a tree or leave it standing on its trunk is in accordance with God’s will. He will surely humiliate the wicked.

[62:11] When some of them come across a business deal, or some entertainment, they rush to it and leave you standing! Say, “What God possesses is far better than the entertainment or the business. God is the best Provider.”

[63:4] When you see them, you may be impressed by their looks. And when they speak, you may listen to their eloquence. They are like standing logs. They think that every call is intended against them. These are the real enemies; beware of them. God condemns them; they have deviated.

Stages are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[36:39] The moon we designed to appear in stages, until it becomes like an old curved sheath.

[71:14] He is the One who created you in stages.

[84:16] I solemnly swear by the rosy dusk.

[84:17] And the night as it spreads.

[84:18] And the moon and its phases.

[84:19] You will move from stage to stage.
