Similar verses by meaning

Ranked by semantic similarity over translation embeddings — a model’s proxy for meaning, not a claim about it, and not tafsīr. Verses may be kin in theme while differing entirely in wording.

  • لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.

  • مَتَٰعٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ

    [For them is brief] enjoyment in this world; then to Us is their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment because they used to disbelieve

  • ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

  • نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

    We have created you, so why do you not believe?

  • أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

    Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

  • أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ

    Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.
