• 2:25 · Al-Baqarahوَعَمِلُوا۟ and doAnd give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow.

• 2:74 · Al-Baqarahتَعْمَلُونَ you doThen your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder.

And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
• 2:96 · Al-Baqarahيَعْمَلُونَ they doAnd you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allah.

And Allah is Seeing of what they do.

• 2:141 · Al-Baqarahيَعْمَلُونَ doThat is a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

Upon the father is the mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do.

• 2:237 · Al-Baqarahتَعْمَلُونَ you doAnd if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified - unless they forego the right or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allah, of whatever you do, is Seeing.
• 2:265 · Al-Baqarahتَعْمَلُونَ you doAnd the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
• 2:271 · Al-Baqarahتَعْمَلُونَ you doIf you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.

• 3:120 · Ali 'Imranيَعْمَلُونَ they doIf good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you are patient and fear Allah, their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do.
• 3:153 · Ali 'Imranتَعْمَلُونَ you do[Remember] when you [fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind.

And Allah is [fully] Acquainted with what you do.
• 3:156 · Ali 'Imranتَعْمَلُونَ you doO you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.
• 3:163 · Ali 'Imranيَعْمَلُونَ they doThey are [varying] degrees in the sight of Allah, and Allah is Seeing of whatever they do.
• 3:180 · Ali 'Imranتَعْمَلُونَ you doAnd let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.
• 4:17 · An-Nisaيَعْمَلُونَ doThe repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

• 2:139 · Al-Baqarahأَعْمَـٰلُنَا (are) our deedsSay, [O Muhammad], "Do you argue with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. And we are sincere [in deed and intention] to Him."
• 2:139 · Al-Baqarahأَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ (are) your deedsSay, [O Muhammad], "Do you argue with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. And we are sincere [in deed and intention] to Him."
• 2:167 · Al-Baqarahأَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deedsThose who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.
• 2:217 · Al-Baqarahأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ their deedsThey ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
• 3:22 · Ali 'Imranأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ their deedsThey are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers.
• 3:195 · Ali 'Imranعَمَلَ deedsAnd their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward."
• 5:5 · Al-Ma'idahعَمَلُهُۥ his deedsThis day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
• 5:53 · Al-Ma'idahأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ their deedsAnd those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allah their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.
• 5:90 · Al-Ma'idahعَمَلِ (the) workO you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
• 6:108 · Al-An'amعَمَلَهُمْ their deedAnd do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.
• 7:147 · Al-A'rafأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ ۚ (are) their deedsThose who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
• 8:48 · Al-Anfalأَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deedsAnd [remember] when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them and said, "No one can overcome you today from among the people, and indeed, I am your protector." But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in penalty."
• 9:17 · At-Tawbahأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ (are) their deedsIt is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah [while] witnessing against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally.
• 9:37 · At-Tawbahأَعْمَـٰلِهِمْ ۗ (of) their deedsIndeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allah and [thus] make lawful what Allah has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
• 9:69 · At-Tawbahأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ (are) their deeds[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.
• 9:94 · At-Tawbahعَمَلَكُمْ your deedsThey will make excuses to you when you have returned to them. Say, "Make no excuse - never will we believe you. Allah has already informed us of your news. And Allah will observe your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; then you will be taken back to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do."
• 9:102 · At-Tawbahعَمَلًۭا a deedAnd [there are] others who have acknowledged their sins. They had mixed a righteous deed with another that was bad. Perhaps Allah will turn to them in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
• 9:105 · At-Tawbahعَمَلَكُمْ your deedAnd say, "Do [as you will], for Allah will see your deeds, and [so, will] His Messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do."
• 9:120 · At-Tawbahعَمَلٌۭ (as) a deedIt was not [proper] for the people of Madinah and those surrounding them of the bedouins that they remain behind after [the departure of] the Messenger of Allah or that they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed. Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good.
• 10:41 · Yunusعَمَلِى (are) my deedsAnd if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."
• 10:41 · Yunusعَمَلُكُمْ ۖ (are) your deedsAnd if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."
• 10:61 · Yunusعَمَلٍ deedAnd, [O Muhammad], you are not [engaged] in any matter or recite any of the Qur'an and you [people] do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register.
• 10:81 · Yunusعَمَلَ the workAnd when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters.
• 11:7 · Hudعَمَلًۭا ۗ (in) deedAnd it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."
• 11:15 · Hudأَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ (for) their deedsWhoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived.
• 11:46 · Hudعَمَلٌ (his) deedHe said, "O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant."
• 11:111 · Hudأَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ۚ their deedsAnd indeed, each [of the believers and disbelievers] - your Lord will fully compensate them for their deeds. Indeed, He is Acquainted with what they do.
• 14:18 · Ibrahimأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ their deedsThe example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is [that] their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a stormy day; they are unable [to keep] from what they earned a [single] thing. That is what is extreme error.
• 16:63 · An-Nahlأَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deedsBy Allah, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is the disbelievers' ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.
• 18:7 · Al-Kahfعَمَلًۭا (in) deedIndeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
