  • 2:213 · Al-Baqarahوَٰحِدَةًۭ singleMankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.
  • 4:1 · An-Nisaوَٰحِدَةٍۢ singleO mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.
  • 4:3 · An-Nisaفَوَٰحِدَةً then (marry) oneAnd if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four.

  • 4:11 · An-Nisaوَٰحِدَةًۭ (only) oneAllah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.

And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
  • 4:102 · An-Nisaوَٰحِدَةًۭ ۚ singleAnd when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms.

Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
  • 10:19 · Yunusوَٰحِدَةًۭ oneAnd mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.

  • 34:46 · Sabaبِوَٰحِدَةٍ ۖ for one (thing)Say, "I only advise you of one [thing] - that you stand for Allah, [seeking truth] in pairs and individually, and then give thought." There is not in your companion any madness. He is only a warner to you before a severe punishment.

[Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked."
