Qur'an 20100629

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

22. Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends, and in order that each soul may find the recompense of
what it has earned, and none of them be wronged.

23. Then can you see such a one that takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has knowingly left him astray, and
sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then, will guide him after Allah? Will you not then
receive admonition?

24. And they say, "What is there but the life of this world? We shall die and we live, and nothing but time can destroy
us." But of that they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture.

25. And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their argument is nothing but this: they say, "Bring our
forefathers, if what you say is true!"

26. Say, "It is Allah who gives you life, then gives you death. Then God will gather you together for the Day of
Judgement about which there is no doubt." But most humans do not understand.

The Kneeling Down 45:22-26
------------------------------------------------------------------

It is Allah who gives you life, then gives you death. Then God will gather you together for the Day of Judgement about
which there is no doubt.

Qur'an 20100619

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

78. Verily We have brought the Truth to you, but most of you have a hatred for Truth.

79. What? Have they settled some plan? But it is We who settle things.

80. Or do they think that We hear not their secrets, and their private counsels? Indeed! And Our messengers are by them, to record.

81. Say, "If the Most Gracious had a son, I would be first to worship."

The Gold Adornments 43:78-81
-------------------------------------------------------------

If the Most Gracious had a son, I would be first to worship.

Qur'an 20100606

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

20. To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter.

21. What! Have they partners who have established for them some religion without the permission of Allah? Had it not been for the Decree of Judgement, the matter would have been decided between them. But verily the wrongdoers will have a grievous Penalty.

22. You will see the wrongdoers in fear on account of what they have earned, and that must fall on them. But those who believe, and work righteous deeds will be in the luxurious meads of the Garden. They shall have from their Lord, all that they wish for. That will indeed be the magnificent bounty.

23. That is whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin." And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Ready to Appreciate.

24. What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah?" But if Allah willed, God could seal up your heart, and Allah blots out vanity, and proves the Truth by God's Words, for God knows well the secrets of all hearts.

25. God is the One who accepts repentance from God's servants, and forgives sins,and God knows all that you do.

Consultation 42:20-25
-------------------------------------------------------------
No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin.

Qur'an 20100605

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

14. And they became divided only after knowledge had reached them, through selfish envy as between themselves. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord to a term appointed, the matter would have been settled between them. But truly those who have inherited the Book after them are in suspicious doubt concerning it.

15. Now then for that, call and stand steadfast as you are commanded, nor follow you their vain desires but say, "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to God is Final Goal."

16. But those who dispute concerning Allah after God had been accepted, futile is their dispute in the sight of their Lord. On them is Wrath, and for them will be a Penalty Terrible.

17. It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance: and what will make you realise that the Hour is close at hand?

18. Only those wish to hasten it who believe not in it. Those who believe hold it in awe, and know that it is the Truth. Behold, verily those that dispute concerning the Hour are far astray.

Consultation 42:14-18
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to God is Final Goal.

Qur'an 20100602

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

52. Say, "See you, if this IS from Allah, and yet do you reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism, far?"

53. Soon will We show them Our Signs in the regions, and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness to all things?

54. Ah indeed! Are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? Ah indeed! It is God that does encompass all things!

Expounded 41:52-54
---------------------------------------------------------------

See you, if this IS from Allah, and yet do you reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism, far?
