Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:43) Quran.com
فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِي أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path. (Sahih International)
Surah Luqman (31:22) Quran.com
وَمَنْ يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ And whoever submits his face to Allah while he is a doer of good - then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold. And to Allah will be the outcome of [all] matters. (Sahih International)
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256) Quran.com
فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (Sahih International)
This is the end of the list. ٱسْتَمْسَكَ was only mentioned 3 times in the Quran.
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.
