Verses that closely resemble one another, placed side by side. These are the verses most often mixed up when reciting from memory — seeing them together is how you learn to tell them apart.
6 verses with look-alikes in Al-Qalam
نٓ ۚ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ
Nūn.1 By the pen and what they inscribe,
إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed, we used to supplicate1 Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ
They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ
Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."1
فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍ
So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
The Day the shin will be uncovered1 and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.1
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَـٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Or has He daughters while you have sons?
أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment1 before that, but most of them do not know.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَنزِيلًا
Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Qur’ān progressively.
