In The Quran

(2:26) God does not shy away from citing the example of a mosquito, or anything above it. As for those who acknowledge, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for the unappreciative, they say, "What did God intend (Arab. أَرَادَ, arāda) by this example?" He lets many stray by it, and He guides many, but He only lets stray the evildoers.

(28:19) But when he intended (Arab. أَرَادَ, arāda) to grip the one, who was their enemy, he said, "O Moses! Do you intend (Arab. أَتُرِيدُ, aturīdu) to kill me, as you killed a person yesterday? Obviously, you intend (Arab. تُرِيدُ, turīdu) to be a despot on the Earth! And you do not intend (Arab. تُرِيدُ, turīdu) to be among (self) improvers."
