Perhaps

'Perhaps' occurs quite often in the Quran. It is expressed by a number of words.

La'alla:

S 2:21 People, worship your lord, the one who created you and those before you; perhaps you will fear.

S 2:52 Then we pardoned you after that; perhaps you will thank.

S 2:53 And when we gave Musa the Book and the Furqan; perhaps you will be guided.

S 2:56 Then we raised you after your death; perhaps you will thank.

S 2:63 And when we took your covenant and raised above you the tur: Take what we have given you with strength and remember what is in it; perhaps you will fear.

S 2:73 So we said: Hit him with some of it. Thus does Allah vivify the dead and he shows you his signs; perhaps you will comprehend.

S 2:150 And from where you have gone out turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you were, turn your faces towards it so that there is no argument for people against you except those who have wronged among them. So do not fear them and fear me. And that I may complete my grace upon you; and perhaps you will be guided.

S 2:179 And you have in retribution life, possessors of albab; perhaps you will fear.

S 2:183 Those who have believed, fasting has been written upon you as it was written upon those before you; perhaps you will fear.

S 2:185 The month of Ramadan wherein the Quran was sent down, a guidance for people and proofs of the guidance and the Furqan. So he among you who has witnessed the month, let him fast on it, and he who was ill or on a journey, then an ‘iddah of other days. Allah wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you, and that you complete the ‘iddah and magnify Allah for what he has guided you; and perhaps you will thank.

S 2:186 And when my slaves ask you about me, I am near. I answer the invocation of the invoker when he calls me, so let them answer me and believe in me; perhaps they will go the right way.

S 2:187 Obscenity towards your women has been made lawful for you on the night of fasting. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. Allah knew that you used to deceive yourselves so he repented for you and pardoned you. So now have relations with them and seek what Allah has written for you. And eat and drink until the white thread is distinguished for you from the black thread of dawn. Then complete the fast to the night. And do not have relations with them when you are secluded in the mosques. Those are Allah’s hudud, so do not approach them. Thus Allah clarifies his verses for people; perhaps they will fear.

S 2:189 They ask you about the crescents. Say: They are rendezvous times for people and the Hajj. And it is not piety to come to the houses from their backs but piety is he who has feared. And come to the houses from their doors. And fear Allah; perhaps you will succeed.

S 2:219 They ask you about wine and maysir. Say: In them is a big offence and benefits for people. And their offence is bigger than their benefit. And they ask you what they spend. Say: The pardon. Thus Allah clarifies the verses for you; perhaps you will ponder.

S 2:221 And do not futter the mushrikat until they believe. And a believing maid is better than a mushrikah even if she has pleased you. And do not give to the mushrikun in nikah until they believe, and a believing slave is better than a mushrik even if he has pleased you. Those call to the fire and Allah calls to the Jannah and forgiveness with his permission. And he clarifies his verses for people; perhaps they will remember.

S 2:242 Thus Allah clarifies his verses for you; perhaps you will comprehend.

S 2:266 Would any of you like to have a jannah of palm trees and grapes, rivers running beneath it, having therein of all fruits, and old age has struck him and he has offspring that are weak then a storm in which is fire has struck it then was on fire? Thus Allah clarifies the verses for you; perhaps you will ponder.

S 3:72 And a band of the People of the Book have said: Believe in what has been sent down upon those who have believed at the beginning of the day and disbelieve at the end of it. Perhaps they will return.

S 3:103 And hold firmly to Allah’s rope altogether and do not separate. And remember Allah’s grace upon you when you were enemies and he tamed between your hearts and you became brothers by his grace. And you were on the edge of a pit of the fire and he rescued you from it. Thus Allah clarifies his verses for you. Perhaps you will be guided.

S 3:123 And Allah helped you at Badr while you were weak. So fear Allah; perhaps you thanks.**.

S 3:130 Those who have believed, do not consume interest, doubling, multiplication. And fear Allah; perhaps you will succeed.

S 3:132 And obey Allah and the messenger; perhaps you will be shown mercy.

S 5:6 Those who have believed, when you stand for salat wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows and wipe your heads and your feet up to the ankles. But if you are junub, purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you has come from crapping or has touched women but has not found water, then do tayammum with good plateau then wipe your faces and your hands with it. Allah does not want to make any difficulty for you but wants to purify you and to perfect his grace upon you. Perhaps you will thank.

S 5:35 Those who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means to him and wage jihad in his way. Perhaps you will succeed.

S 5:89 Allah does not censure you for nonsense in your oaths but censures you for what you have contracted of the oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people of an average of what you feed your family or their clothing or freeing a neck. But he who has not found then fasting for three days. That is an expiation for your oaths when you have sworn. And guard your oaths. Thus Allah clarifies his verses for you; perhaps you will thank.

S 5:90 Those who have believed, wine and maysir and ansab and divining arrows are only rijs from the Devil’s work, so avoid it; perhaps you will succeed.

S 5:100 Say: Not equal are the malignant and the good even if the abundance of the malignant thing has pleased you. So fear Allah, possessors of albab; perhaps you will succeed.

S 6:51 And warn thereby those who fear that they are gathered to their lord they have no protector or intercessor instead of him; perhaps they will fear.

S 6:65 Say: He is capable of raising torture from above you or from beneath your feet upon you or intermingling you as partisans and making some of you taste horribleness of others. Look how we explain the verses; perhaps you will comprehend.

S 6:69 And it is not upon those who fear of their account of anything but a remembrance; perhaps they will fear.

S 6:151 Say: Come, I shall read what your lord has forbidden you: Not to associate with him at all and kindness to parents and do not kill your children out of destitution; we provide you and them. And do not approach fawahish, what was visible of them and what was hidden. And do not kill the soul that Allah has forbidden except by right. That has he advised you with; perhaps you will comprehend.

S 6:152 And do not approach the orphan’s money except with that which is best until he reaches his maturity. And fulfill the measure and the balance with equity. We do not trouble a soul except as to its ability. And when you have spoken be just, even if he were a relative. And fulfill Allah’s covenant. That has he advised you with; perhaps you will remember.

S 6:153 And that this is my path, straight, so follow it. And do not follow the ways, then they scatter you from his way. That has he advised you with; perhaps you will fear.

S 6:154 Then we gave Musa the Book, perfection upon him who did good and a minute exposition for everything and guidance and a mercy; perhaps they will believe in the meeting of their lord.

S 6:155 And this is a book--we have sent it down, blessed, so follow it and fear; perhaps you will be shown mercy.

S 7:26 Banu Adam, we have sent down upon you clothing. It covers your pudenda and feathering. And the clothing of taqwa, that is best. That is of Allah's signs. Perhaps they will remember.

S 7:57 And he is the one who sends the winds as good news in front of his mercy until when they have carried a heavy cloud. We drove it to a dead country then we sent down with it water and we brought out with it all fruits. Thus we bring out the dead; perhaps you will remember.

S 7:63 And have you wondered that a dhikr from your lord has come to you upon a man among you that he may warn you and that you may fear? And perhaps you will be shown mercy.

S 7:69 And have you wondered that a dhikr has come to you from your lord upon a man among you that he may warn you? And remember when he made you successors after Nuh’s people and increased you in creation extensively. So remember Allah’s favours; perhaps you will succeed.

S 7:94 And we did not send into a village any prophet but we took its people with suffering and adversity; perhaps they would implore.

S 7:130 And we took Fir’awn’s family with the years and the shortage of fruits; perhaps they will remember.

S 7:158 Say: People, I am Allah’s messenger to you all, the one whose is the dominion of the skies and the Earth. There is no god but him. He vivifies and causes to die. So believe in Allah and his messenger, the ummi prophet, the one who believes in Allah and his words, and follow him; perhaps you will be guided.

S 7:164 And when a nation of them said: Why do you exhort a people whom Allah is destroying or torturing with severe torture? They said: As an excuse to your lord and perhaps they will fear.

S 7:171 And when we raised the mountain above them as though it were an awning and they thought that it would fall on them. Take what we have given you with strength and remember what is in it; perhaps you will fear.

S 7:174 And thus do we detail the verses and perhaps they will return.

S 7:176 And had we willed we would have raised him with them but he adhered to the Earth and followed his desire. So his similitude is like the similitude of the dog. If you charge against it, it pants or you leave it, it pants. That is the similitude of the people who called our verses a lie. So tell the story; perhaps they will ponder.

S 7:204 And when the Quran has been read, listen to it and hearken; perhaps you will be shown mercy.

S 8:26 And remember when you were few, found weak in the land, fearing that people might do away with you, and he lodged you and supported you with his help and provided you from the good things; perhaps you will thank.

S 8:45 Those who have believed, when you have met a band, be firm and remember Allah much; perhaps you will succeed.

S 8:57 So if you meet them in war, startle with them him behind them; perhaps they will remember.

S 9:12 And if they have broken their oaths after their treaty and have stabbed in your religion, fight the leaders of kufr. They--they have no oaths. Perhaps they will cease.

S 11:12 Then perhaps you are leaving some of what you are inspired with and your chest is straitened by it because they say: Why has a treasure not been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are only a nadhir. And Allah is an agent over everything.

S 12:2 We have sent it down as an Arabic quran; perhaps you will comprehend.
