Found 3 verses containing "تَعۡجَلۡ".
فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَیۡہِمۡ ۖ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَہُمۡ عَدًّا
The verse means; (a) We are keeping full account of their wicked deeds; and (b) We are keeping account of the time when their punishment will be due.
Commentary:
In the words فلا تعجل علیھم Muslims are enjoined not to lose patience if Divine punishment is slow in overtaking Western Christian nations. The words also seem to enjoin Muslims not to be so impatient as to indulge in such foolish dreams as waging jihad against disbelievers because they (Muslims) do not possess the necessary means to fight them successfully, but should adopt only spiritual means for this purpose such as praying and preaching and disseminating the teachings of Islam. The warning contained in the Holy Prophet’s words لا یدان لاحد لقتالھم (no one will have the power to fight them) may perhaps have been derived from this Divine command.
The words انما نعد لھم عداً mean:(a) We are keeping full account of their wicked deeds; and (b) We are keeping account of the time when their punishment will be due. The verse means to say that their doom is already decreed and it will overtake them when the appointed time arrives.

فَتَعٰلَی اللّٰہُ الۡمَلِکُ الۡحَقُّ ۗ وَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ بِالۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ یُّقۡضٰۤی اِلَیۡکَ وَحۡیُہٗ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدۡنِیۡ عِلۡمًا

The Holy Prophet is reported to have said, 'Seek knowledge though it may be found in a country as far away as China' (Saghir, vol. 1). Elsewhere in the Qur’an, knowledge has been styled as 'God’s great grace' (2:270 & 4:114). Knowledge is of two kinds: (a) That which is vouchsafed to man through revelation and which has found its perfect manifestation in the Qur’an. (b) That which man acquires by his own effort and labour.
23:117.
Commentary:
The words O my Lord, increase me in knowledge show the great importance that the Quran attaches to the acquirement of knowledge. Even the Holy Prophet to whom was vouchsafed knowledge about the generations that have passed away and about those that are yet to be born أوتیت علم الاولین و الآخرین)), is taught to pray that his knowledge may be increased. He is further reported to have said, "Seek knowledge though it may be found in a country as far away as China" (Saghir vol. 1). Elsewhere in the Quran knowledge has been styled as "God’s great grace" (2:270 & 4:114).
The verse also implies that all knowledge is of two kinds: (a) that which is vouchsafed to man through revelation and which has found its perfect manifestation in the Quran which is the last and most perfect Divine teaching; (b) that which man acquires by his own effort and labour. It is this second kind of knowledge for the acquisition of which man is enjoined in the present verse to make ceaseless effort.
The verse also implies that the Quran will come to be increasingly read and followed.
