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?
