QUR'ANIC PROVERBS
We call “Qur’anic proverbs” those words of the Qur’an that have become proverbial. They are passages that Arabic speakers use very often when the context calls for it, like ordinary proverbs.
Have you not seen how God allegorically likens a good word to a good tree, whose roots are firm and whose branches [reach] into the sky?
وَلَا يَحِيقُ المَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِ
The evil scheme ensnares none but its own author. (Qur’an 35:43)
أتَأْمُرونَ النَّاسَ بِالبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ
Do you enjoin virtue upon people while forgetting your own selves? (Qur’an 2:44)
لَنْ تَنَالُوا البِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ
You will not attain virtue until you give of that which you love. (Qur’an 3:92)
