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?

Qur'an 20110529
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
100. Say, "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle you. So fear Allah, o you that understand, that you may prosper."
The Repast 5:100

Qur'an 20110526
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
68. Say, "O people of the Book! You have no ground to stand upon unless you stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that comes to you from your Lord, that increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow you not over people without faith.
69. Those who believe, those who follow the Jewish, and the Sabians, and the Christians: any who believe in Allah, and the Last Day, and work righteousness- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
70. We took the covenant of the children of Israel and sent them messengers. Everytime there came to them a messenger with what they themselves desired not, some they called imposters, some they slay!
71. They thought there would be no trial, so they became blind and deaf. Yet Allah turned to them, yet again many of them became blind and deaf. But Allah sees well all that they do.
72. They do blaspheme who say, "Allah is Christ the son of Mary". But said Christ, "O children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help.
73. They do blaspheme who say, "Allah is one of three in a Trinity", for there is no god but one God. If they desist not from their word, verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
74. Why turn they not to Allah, and seek God's forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.
75. Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. Many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both had to eat their food. See how Allah does make God's Signs clear to them. Yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
76. Say, "Will you worship, besides Allah, something which has no power either to harm or benefit you? But Allah: God it is that Hears and Knows all things."
77. Say, "O people of the Book! Exceed not in your religion the bounds trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by, who misled many, and strayed from the Even Way."
The Repast 5:68-77

Qur'an 20110524
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
59. Say, "O people of the Book! Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us, and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"
60. Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those of whom God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!"
The Repast 5:59-60
--------------------------------------------------------
"People of the Book": the Qur'an is the Book too, right? I assume this includes people who call themselves "Muslim".
"Apes": lawless, buffoons, everything is a joke.
"Swine": gluttony, gross and excessive living.

Qur'an 20110523
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
40. Whether We shall show you part of what We promised them, or take to Ourself your soul, your duty is to reach them. It is Our part to call them to account.
41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying border? Allah commands: there is none to put back God's command, and God is Swift in calling to account.
42. Those before them did devise plots, but in all things the master-planning is Allah's. God knows the doings of every soul, and soon will the unbelievers know who gets home in the end.
43. The unbelievers say, "No messenger are you." Say, "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book."
The Thunder 13:40-43
----------------------------------
Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book.

Qur'an 20110516
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
5:18 The Jews and the Christians say, "We are the sons of Allah, and God's beloved." Say, "Why then does God punish you for your sins? No, you are but men: of the men God has created, God forgives whom God pleases, and God punishes whom God pleases, and to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. And unto God is the Final Goal."
The Repast 5:18
