Qur'an 20091201

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

86. Say, "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?"

87. They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Will you not then be filled with awe?"

88. Say, "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?"

89. They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

90. We have sent them the Truth, but indeed they practise falsehood!

91. No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with God. Behold! Each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah, from the things they attribute to God!

92. God knows what is hidden, and what is open. Too high is God for the partners they attribute to God!

93. Say, "O my Lord! If You will show me that which they are warned against,"

94. "Then O my Lord! Put me not among the people who do wrong!"

95. And We are certainly able to show you that against which they are warned.

96. Repel evil with that which is best. We are well acquainted with the things they say.

97. And say, "O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones."

The Believers 23:86-97
----------------------------------------------------------

Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?

Will you not then be filled with awe?

Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?

Then how are you deluded?

O my Lord! If You will show me that which they are warned against, then O my Lord! Put me not among the people who do wrong!

O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones.

Qur'an 20091201

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

78. It is God who has created for you hearing, sight, feeling, and understanding. Little thanks it is you give!

79. And God has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered back.

80. It is God Who gives life and death, and to God the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?

81. On the contrary, they say things similar to what the ancients said.

82. They say, "What! When we become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?"

83. "Such things have been promised to us and our fathers before! They are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

84. Say, "To whom belong the earth and all things therein? If you know!"

85. They will say, "To Allah!" Say, "Yet, will you not receive admonition?"

The Believers 23:78-85
---------------------------------------------------------

To whom belong the earth and all things therein? If you know!

Yet, will you not receive admonition?
----------------------------------------------------------

Ya Allah, thank You for all You have given me. Please forgive me as I will never be able to thank You adequately.

Qur'an 20091122

67. To every people have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow: let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite to thy Lord, for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.

68. If they do wrangle with thee, say: "Allah knows best what it is you are doing."

69. "Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgement concerning the matters in which you differ."

70. Knowest thou not that Allah knows what is in the heavens and on earth? Indeed it is all in a record, and that is easy for Allah.

71. Yet they worship, besides Allah, things for which no authority has been sent down to them, and of which they have no knowledge: for those that do wrong there is no helper.

72. When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou will notice a denial on the face of the unbelievers! They nearly attack with violence those who rehearse our signs to them. Say, "Shall I tell you of something worse than these Signs? It is the Fire! Allah has promised it to the unbelievers! And evil is that destination!"

73. O humans! Here is a parable set forth! Listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, you call cannot create a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! And if the fly should snatch anything away from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those on whom they petition!

74. No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is God that is Strong and Able to carry out God's Will.

Al Hajj 21:67-74
-----------------------------------------------------------

Allah knows best what it is you are doing.

Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgement concerning the matters in which you differ.

Shall I tell you of something worse than these Signs? It is the Fire! Allah has promised it to the unbelievers! And evil is that destination!

Qur'an 20091119

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

49. Say, "O humans! I am to you only to give warning."

50. Those who believe and work righteousness, for them is forgiveness and a sustenance most generous.

51. But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, they will be companions of the fire.

The Pilgrimage 22:49-51
----------------------------------------------------------

O humans! I am to you only to give warning.

Qur'an 20091111

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

108. Say, "What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God. Will you therefore bow to God's Will?"

109. But if they turn back, say "I have proclaimed the Message to you all alike and in truth, but I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far."

110. It is God who knows what is open in speech, and what you hide.

111. I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of livelihood for a time.

112. Say, "O my Lord! Judge You in Truth! Our Lord most Gracious is the One whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies you utter!"

The Prophets 21:108-112

Qur'an 20091104

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

43. Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.

44. No, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them. See they not that We reduce the land from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?

45. Say, "I do warn you according to revelation." But the deaf will not hear the call, when they are warned.

46. If but a breath of the Wrath of your Lord does touch them, then they will say, "Woe to us! We did wrong indeed!"

The Prophets 21:43-46
----------------------------------------------------------

I do warn you according to revelation.

Qur'an 20091103

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

39. If only the unbelievers knew when they would not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and no help can reach them!

40. No, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them. No power will they have to avert it, nor will they get respite.

41. Mocked were messengers before you, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

42. Say, "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?" Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

The Prophets 21:39-42
----------------------------------------------------------

Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?
