Qur'an 29072009

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

40. Whether We shall show you part of what We promised them, or take to Ourself your soul, your duty is to make reach them. It is Our part to call them to account.

41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying border? Allah commands: there is none to put back God's command, and God is Swift in calling to account.

42. Those before them did devise plots, but in all things the master-planning is Allah's. God knows the doings of every soul, and soon will the unbelievers know who gets home in the end.

43. The unbelievers say, "No messenger are you." Say, "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book."

The Thunder 13:40-43
----------------------------------

Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book.

Qur'an 20090729

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

36. Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what has been revealed unto you. But there are among the sects those who reject a part thereof. Say, "I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with God. Unto God do I call, and unto God is my return."

37. Thus have We revealed it to be a judgement of authority in Arabic. Were you to follow their desires after the knowledge which has reached you, then would you find neither protector nor helper against Allah.

The Thunder 13:36-37
----------------------------------------------------------

I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with God. Unto God do I call, and unto God is my return.

Qur'an 20090728

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

30. Thus We have sent you amongst a people whom have peoples passed away, in order that you might rehearse unto them what We have sent down unto you by inspiration. Yet they do reject the most Gracious! Say, "God is my Lord! There is no God but God! On God is my trust, and to God do I turn!"

31. If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak.... But truly, the Command is with Allah with all things! Do not the believers know that, had Allah willed, God could have guided all humankind? But the unbelievers, never will disaster cease to seize them for their deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the Promise of Allah comes to pass, for verily, Allah will not fail in God's promise.

32. Mocked were messengers before you, but We granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally We punished them. Then how was Our requital!

33. Is then God Who stands over every soul, all that it does... And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say, "But name them! Is it that you will inform God of something God knows not on earth, or is it a show of words?" No! To those who believe not, their pretense seems pleasing, but they are kept back from the Path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.

The Thunder 13:30-33
----------------------------------------------------------

God is my Lord! There is no God but God! On God is my trust, and to God do I turn!

But name them! Is it that you will inform God of something God knows not on earth, or is it a show of words?

Qur'an 20090727

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

26. Allah does enlarge, or grant by measure, the sustenance to whom so God pleases. Rejoice in the life of this world, but the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.

27. The unbelievers say, "Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Truly Allah leaves to stray whom God wills, but God guides to Godself those who turn to God in penitence."

The Thunder 13:26-27
----------------------------------------------------------

Truly Allah leaves to stray whom God wills, but God guides to Godself those who turn to God in penitence.

Qur'an 20090724

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

14. For God is prayer in Truth. Any others that they call upon besides God hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths, but it reaches them not, for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but wandering.

15. Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah, with goodwill, or in spite of themselves. So do their shadows, in the mornings and evenings.

16. Say, "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Do you then take protectors other than God, such as have no power either for good, or for harm to themselves?" Say, "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created as God has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things. God is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."

The Thunder 13:14-16
----------------------------------------------------------

Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?

Allah.

Do you then take protectors other than God, such as have no power either for good, or for harm to themselves?

Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?

Allah is the Creator of all things. God is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible.

Qur'an 20090720

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

106. And most of them believe not in Allah without associating with God!

107. Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the wrath of Allah, or of the coming against them of the Hour, all of a sudden, while they perceive not?

108. Say you, "This is my Way. I do invite unto Allah, on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes, I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah! And never will I join gods with Allah!"

109. Nor did We send before you any but men, whom We did inspire, living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the Hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will you not then understand?

110. Until when Our messengers give up hope, and think they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our Help, and those whom We Will are delivered into safety. But never will be warded off Our punishment from those who are in sin.

Joseph 12:106-110
----------------------------------------------------------

This is my Way. I do invite unto Allah, on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes, I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah! And never will I join gods with Allah!

Qur'an 20090701

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

118. If your Lord had so willed, God could have made humankind one people, but they will not cease to dispute.

119. Except those on whom your Lord has bestowed God's Mercy, and for this did God create them, and the Word of your Lord shall be fulfilled, "I will fill hell with jinns and humans all together."

120. All that We relate to you of the stories of the messengers, with it We make firm your heart. In them there comes to you the Truth, as well as an exhortation, and a message of rememberance to those who believe.

121. Say to those who do not believe, "Do whatever you can: we shall do our part!"

122. And wait you, We/we too shall wait.

Hud 11:118-122


77. Say, "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."

The Criterion 25:77

----------------------------------------------------------

Do whatever you can: we shall do our part!

My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable.
