Letter to Julia 20110604

Hi Julia. Due to reasons beyond my control, I am blocked out of updating my own website. Therefore, I will continue my love letter to you on my Qur'an blog. Fitting, isn't it? After all, only God can bring us together. Please stay tuned, and I love you.

Qur'an 20110604

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

8. They say, "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If We did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them.

9. If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion, in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.

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

11. Say, "Travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth."

12. Say, "To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say, "To Allah. God has inscribed for Godself Mercy. That God will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe."

13. To God belongs all that that dwells in the night and in the day. For God is the One who Hears, and Knows all things.

14. Say, "Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And God it is that feeds, but is not fed." Say, "No! But I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah, and be not you of the company of those who join gods with Allah."

15. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have the fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day."

16. On that day, if the Penalty is averted from any, it is due to Allah's Mercy, and that would be the obvious fulfillment of all desire.

17. If Allah touches you with affliction, none can remove but God. If God touches you with happiness, God has power over all things.

18. God is the Irresistible, from above over God's worshippers, and God is the Wise, Acquainted with all things.

19. Say, "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say, "Allah is witness between me and you. This Qur'an has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you, and all that it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides Allah, there is another god?" Say, "But in truth, God is the One God, and I am innocent of joining others with God."

20. Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe.

The Cattle 6:15-20
----------------------------------------------------------

Travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.

To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth?

To Allah. God has inscribed for Godself Mercy. That God will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.

Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And God it is that feeds, but is not fed.

No! But I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah, and be not you of the company of those who join gods with Allah.

I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have the fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day.

What thing is most weighty in evidence?

Allah is witness between me and you. This Qur'an has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you, and all that it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides Allah, there is another god?

But in truth, God is the One God, and I am innocent of joining others with God
