Qur'an 20090323

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

133. Your Lord is Self-Sufficient, Full of Mercy. If it were God's Will, God could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom God Will as your successors, even as God raised you up from the posterity of other people.

134. All that has been promised to you will come to pass, nor can you frustrate it.

135. Say, "O my people! Do whatever you can. I will do. Soon will you know who it is whose end will be, in the Hereafter. Certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper."

The Cattle 6:133-135

O my people! Do whatever you can. I will do. Soon will you know who it is whose end will be, in the Hereafter. Certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper.

Qur'an 20090321

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

114. Say, "Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? When God it is who has sent unto you the Book, explained in detail." They know full well to whom We have given the Book, that it has been sent down from your Lord in Truth. Never be then of those who doubt.

115. The Word of your Lord does find its fulfillment in truth and justice. None can change God's Words, for God is the One who Hears, and Knows all.

116. Were you to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead you away from the Way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture, they do nothing but lie.

117. Your Lord knows best who strays from God's Way. God knows best who they are that receive guidance.

The Cattle 6:114-117
----------------------------------------------------------

Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? When God it is who has sent unto you the Book, explained in detail.

Qur'an 20090320

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

109. They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a Sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say, "Certainly, Signs are in the Power of Allah, but what would make you realise that if Signs came, they will not believe?"

110. We shall turn to their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in the first instance. We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction.

111. Even if We did send unto them angels, and the dead did speak to them, and We gathered together all things before their very eyes, they are not the ones to believe, unless it is in Allah's Plan. But most of them ignore.

The Cattle 6:109-111
---------------------------------------------------------

Certainly, Signs are in the Power of Allah, but what would make you realise that if Signs came, they will not believe?

People only believe what they want to believe, right? What do you want? Money? Influence? Sex? Drugs and booze? Revenge? What do you want?

Qur'an 20090316

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

88. This is the Guidance of Allah. God gives that Guidance to whom God pleases of God's worshippers. If they were to join other gods with God, all that they did would be in vain for them.

89. These were the men to whom We gave the Book, and Authority, and Prophethood. If these reject them, behold! We shall entrust their charge to a new people who reject them not.

90. Those were who received Allah's Guidance. Copy the Guidance they received. Say, "No reward for this do I ask of you. This is no less than a Message for the nations."

91. No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say, "Nothing does Allah send down to man." Say, "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought? A light and guidance to man, but you make it into sheets for show, while you conceal much. Therein were you taught which you knew not, neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allah." Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.

The Cattle 6:88-91

No reward for this do I ask of you. This is no less than a Message for the nations.

Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought? A light and guidance to man, but you make it into sheets for show, while you conceal much. Therein were you taught which you knew not, neither you nor your fathers.

Allah.

Qur'an 20090313

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

70. Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim this: that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts. It will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah. If it offered every ransom, none will be accepted. Such is those who deliver themselves to ruin by their acts. They will have to drink boiling water, and for punishment, one more grievous; for that they persisted in rejecting Allah.

71. Say, "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah, things that can do us neither good nor harm, and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? Like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, "Come to us", guiding him to the path?" Say, "Allah's Guidance is the Guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds."

The Cattle 6:70-71
----------------------------------------------------------

Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah, things that can do us neither good nor harm, and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? Like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, "Come to us", guiding him to the path?

Allah's Guidance is the Guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds.

Qur'an 20090312

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

63. Say, "Who is it that delivers you from the dark recesses of the land and sea, when you call upon God in humility, and in silent terror; 'If God only delivers us from these, we shall truly show our gratitude.'?"

64. Say, "It is Allah that delivers you from these, and all distresses, yet you worship false gods."

65. Say, "God has power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance, each from the other." See how We explain the Signs in various ways, that they may understand.

66. But your people reject this, though it is the Truth. Say, "Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs."

The Cattle 6:63-66
----------------------------------------------------------

Who is it that delivers you from the dark recesses of the land and sea, when you call upon God in humility, and in silent terror; 'If God only delivers us from these, we shall truly show our gratitude.'?

It is Allah that delivers you from these, and all distresses, yet you worship false gods.

God has power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance, each from the other.

Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs.

Qur'an 20090311

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

56. Say, "I am forbidden to worship those, other than Allah, whom you call upon." Say, "I will not follow your vain desires. If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive Guidance."

57. Say, "For me, I'm on a clear Sign from my Lord. But you reject God. What you would see hastened, is not in my power. The Command rests with none but Allah. God declares the Truth, and God is the Best of Judges."

58. Say, "If what you would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me. But Allah knows best those who do wrong."

The Cattle 6:56-58
