The Poets - 26:83
My Lord, give me wisdom and include me among the righteous.
An example of the wisdom of the Qur'an:

Do not take other gods along with Allah, lest you remain condemned and left alone.
The Night Journey/17:23

The Night Journey/17:24
"Have mercy on them and stretch out to them the wings of humility and say, "My Lord, have pity on them as they raised me when I was young."

The Night Journey/17:28

These are among the wisdoms that your Lord has revealed to you. Do not take other gods along with Allah; otherwise you will be cast into Hell, condemned and cast out.
