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.

  • أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

    Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

  • وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ فِى شَكٍّ مُّرِيبٍۭ

    And prevention will be placed between them and what they desire, as was done with their kind before. Indeed, they were in disquieting denial.

  • إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ

    Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

  • فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.
