| Surah:Ayah | Arabic (excerpt) | Transliteration | English Translation | Hausa Translation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:173 | حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ | **ḥasbunā Allahu wa ni‘ma al-wakīl** | "Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs." | Allah ya ishe mu, kuma shi ne Mafi kyawun wakili. |
| 8:62 | فَإِنَّ حَسْبَكَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِۦ وَبِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ | **fa-inna ḥasbaka Allah; huwa alladhī ayyadaka binaṣrihi wa bil-mu'minīn** | "But if they intend to deceive you—then indeed, Allah is sufficient for you. He is the one who supported you with His help and with the believers." | Idan sun so su yaudare ka, to Allah ya ishe ka. Shi ne wanda ya taimake ka da nasararsa da kuma muminai. |
| 8:64 | يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَسْبُكَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ | **yā ayyuhā al-nabiyyu ḥasbuka Allahu wa mani ittaba‘aka mina al-mu’minīn** | "O Prophet, Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you." | Ya Annabi, Allah ya ishe ka da kuma muminan da suka bi ka. |
| 9:59 | وَقَالُوا۟ حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ رَٰغِبُونَ | **wa qālū ḥasbunā Allah, sayu’tīnā Allahu min faḍlihi wa rasūluhu; innā ilā Allah rāghibūn** | "They should have said, 'Allah is sufficient for us; Allah and His Messenger will give us out of His bounty. Indeed, we turn to Allah alone.'" | Ya kamata su ce: "Allah ya ishe mu; Allah da Manzonsa za su ba mu daga falalarsa. Lalle, mu masu mafarkin zuwa ga Allah ne." |
| 9:129 | فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ | **fa-in tawallaw faqul ḥasbiya Allah, lā ilāha illā huwa, ʿalayhi tawakkaltu, wa huwa rabbu al-ʿarsh al-ʿaẓīm** | "But if they turn away, say: 'Allah is sufficient for me. There is no deity except Him. On Him I rely, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.'" | Idan suka juya baya, ka ce: "Allah ya ishe ni; babu abin bautawa sai Shi. Gare Shi nake dogaro, kuma Shi ne Ubangijin Al’arshi Mai girma." |
"Allah knows who is loyal to you and who isn’t. So when He removes someone from your life, it may be because they are toxic for you — or perhaps you are toxic for them. Allah knows things you may not be aware of. He sees what you are oblivious to. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing."
