النسيان
22 verses in 12 surahs · 8 subtopics
The worst forgetting, these verses show, is forgetting the meeting with Allah. They present forgetfulness as part of human nature, something Satan can cause and a recognized legal excuse, affirm that Allah never forgets, and reproach those who remind others of righteousness while forgetting themselves.

إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّى لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا ٢٤
Except [when adding], "If Allāh wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ ١٥
