Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:60) Quran.com
وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ مَلَائِكَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth. (Sahih International)
Surah Al-Araf (7:142) Quran.com
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَأَصْلِحْ And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters." (Sahih International)
Surah Al-Araf (7:150) Quran.com
وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِي مِنْ بَعْدِي And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people." (Sahih International)
Surah Maryam (19:59) Quran.com
فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil - (Sahih International)
Surah Al-Araf (7:169) Quran.com
فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah, so will you not use reason? (Sahih International)

Disclaimer: Audio Pronunciation Guide Please note that the audio pronunciations provided within the Iqraa app are based directly on the Quranic articulation of words. For instance, if the word 'حُبّ' (hubb) is pronounced as 'حُبٌّ' (hubbun) within the context of the Quran, our audio will reflect this specific pronunciation. It's important to understand that while 'hubb' is the general term, the variations you hear in our audio are intentional, aiming to mirror the exact pronunciation as it appears in the Quran. This approach ensures that learners get an authentic experience of Quranic Arabic pronunciation, enhancing their understanding and connection to the holy text.
