ذلك بأنهم شاقوا الله ورسوله ومن يشاق الله فإن الله شديد العقاب
That (is) because [they] they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah then indeed, Allah (is) Severe in Punishment.

In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 19 times across 19 verses in 10 surahs, from Quran 2:165 (Surah Al-Baqarah) to Quran 59:7 (Surah Al-Hashr).

ما أفاء الله على رسوله من أهل القرى فلله وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل كي لا يكون دولة بين الأغنياء منكم وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب
What restored Allah to His Messenger from (the) people (of) the towns, (it is) for Allah and His Messenger and for the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that not it becomes a (perpetual) circulation between the rich among you. And whatever gives you the Messenger, take it and whatever he forbids you from it, refrain. And fear Allah. Indeed, Allah (is) Severe in Punishment.
