Comparisons between
The Bible and The Holy Quran regarding God's (Allah S.W.T) creations
In this section, I
copied verses from Bible & The Holy Quran for your references
about the Creation of God. Bible mentions about Creation of God in
Genesis, Chapter 1 & Chapter 2. Whereas in Quran there are a
lot of reference regarding Creations, I have copied some
of them for your reference. What I want to highlight to you are the
errors
in The Bible about the stages of creation in Error 1 and the error about
the qualities of God in Error 2.
If you go through all
the list about creation in Quran, I'am sure that you can surely
differentiate which one is
the Word of God and which one is the word of man. Subjects such as
heaven and earth, shadow, colours, vegetations, animals, barrier
between two seas and many types of creations are mentioned. In addition
to that, God (Allah S.W.T) has mentioned in Surah An-Nahl that "He
creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge".
Do you think that someone who
created the mountains and stars as landmark for us to guide in the land
and the sea, forget to send us a book as guidance? Go
to Answer.
Based on Prophet Muhamad S.A.W, the last person who will enter paradise
will get the reward of ten (10) times of the world. The key to the
safety from Hell and admitted to Paradise is to embrace Islam by saying
" There is
none worthy of worship except Allah (one and Only God) and Muhamad is
the
Rasul (Messenger) of Allah " and then follow the Quran and traditions
of
Prophet Muhamad S.A.W, peace be upon you.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 602:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "The person who will be the last one to enter Paradise and the last to come out of Hell (Fire) will be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, 'Enter Paradise.' He will reply, 'O Lord, Paradise is full.' Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each time the man will give Him the same reply, i.e., 'Paradise is full.' Thereupon Allah will say (to him), 'Ten times of the world is for you.' "
1. Error 1 in Bible
Genesis, The Beginning 1-2:3
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of
the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4God saw
that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And
there was evening, and there was morning -the first day.
6 And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate
water from water."
7So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the
water above it. And it was so. 8God called the vault "sky." And there
was evening, and there was morning -the second day.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,
and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
10God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called
"seas." And God saw that it was good.
11Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants
and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to
their
various kinds." And it was so.
12The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their
kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.
And
God saw that it was good.
13And there was evening, and there was morning -the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to
separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark
seasons and days and years, 15and let them be lights in the vault of
the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16God made two great lights -the greater light to govern the day and
the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness.
And God saw that it was good.
19And there was evening, and there was morning -the fourth day.
20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky."
21So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and
moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and
every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and
fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."
23And there was evening, and there was morning -the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to
their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild
animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
25God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock
according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the
ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, in our
likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds
in the sky, over
the livestock and all the wild animals, a and over all the creatures
that
move along the ground."
27 So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he
created them; male and female he created them.
28God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and
the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the
ground."
29Then God said, "I give you every seedbearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be
yours for food. 30And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds
in the sky and all the creatures that move on the groun d- everything
that has the breath of life in it -I give every green plant for
food."And it was so.
31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was
evening, and there was morning - the sixth day.
2 Thus the heavens
and the earth were completed
in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on
the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he
rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Genesis,
The Beginning, 1:11-19
11Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation:
seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in
it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.
12The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their
kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.
And
God saw that it was good.
13And there was evening, and there was morning -the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to
separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark
seasons and days and years,
15and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the
earth." And it was so.
16God made two great lights -the greater light to govern the day and
the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness.
And God saw that it was good.
19And there was evening, and there was morning - the fourth day.
Error 1: If
you read careful the verses mentioned above, you notice that God
created the vegetation on the third day, whereas the Sun
and Moon were created on the fourth day. Common sense will tell you,
you
need sunlight to have photosynthesis in order for the plant to grow.
Certainly God will create the Sun first then only he will say let the
land produced vegetation and so on as mentioned in verse 11. Or the
author forgets the actual
sequence of the verse, whether to place the creation of vegetation
before
or after the creation of Sun.

2. Error 2 in Bible
Genesis, Chapter 2, The Beginning, verse 1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in
all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on
the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he
rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Surah Al-Baqarah,
Chapter 2, verse 255
255. Allâh!
Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He),
the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.
Neither
slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the
heavens
and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except
with
His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this
world,
and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never
compass
anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His
Kursî extends over the
heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and
preserving
them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This
Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursî.]
Surah Qaf , Chapter 50, verse 38
38. And indeed We
created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and
nothing of fatigue touched Us.
Error 2 : In
Bible it is mentioned that God rested on the seventh day, but in the
Holy Quran Surah Qaf, verse 50:38 it is mentioned that after the
creation of heaven and earth no fatigue touched Him (God/Allah).

164. Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which
sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the
water (rain) which Allâh sends down from the sky and makes
the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living)
creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the
veering
of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are
indeed
Ayât (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of
understanding.

Surah Al-Imran / Chapter 3, verse 190-191
190. Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs
for men of understanding.
191. Those who remember Allâh (always, and in prayers)
standing,
sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the
creation
of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created
(all)
this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they
associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of
the Fire.

created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He
Istawâ (rose over) the Throne (really in a manner that suits
His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it
rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His
Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be
Allâh, the Lord of the
'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!

the heavens and the earth in six Days and then Istawâ (rose
over) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty), disposing
the affair of all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except
after His Leave. That is Allâh, your Lord; so worship Him
(Alone). Then,
will you not remember?
4. To Him is the return of all of you. The Promise of Allâh
is true. It is He Who begins the creation and then will repeat it, that
He may reward with justice those who believed (in the Oneness of
Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and did deeds of
righteousness. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of boiling
fluids and painful torment because they used to disbelieve.

2. Allâh is
He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then,
He
Istawâ (rose above) the Throne (really in a manner that suits
His Majesty).
He has subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round)! Each
running
(its course) for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs, explaining
the
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.)
in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your
Lord.
Top
3. And
it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains
and rivers and of every kind of fruits
He made Zawjain Ithnaîn (two in pairs - may mean two kinds or
it may
mean: of two sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and
big,
etc.) He brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these
things,
there are Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.) for
people
who reflect. Top
4. And
in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of vines, and green
crops (fields etc.), and date-palms, growing out two or three from a
single stem root, or otherwise (one stem root
for every palm ), watered with the same water, yet some of them We make
more
excellent than others to eat. Verily, in these things, there are
Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs) for the people who
understand. Top
5. And if you (O Muhammad S.A.W) wonder (at these polytheists who deny
your message of Islâmic Monotheism and have taken besides
Allâh
others for worship who can neither harm nor benefit), then wondrous is
their
saying: "When we are dust, shall we indeed then be (raised) in a new
creation?"
They are those who disbelieve in their Lord! They are those who will
have
iron chains tying their hands to their necks. They will be dwellers of
the
Fire to abide therein.
6. They ask you to hasten the evil before the good, yet (many)
exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them. But verily,
your Lord is full of Forgiveness for mankind inspite of their
wrong-doing. And verily, your Lord is (also) Severe in punishment.
7. And the disbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from
his Lord?" You are only a warner, and to every people there is a guide.
8.
Allâh knows what every female bears, and by how much the
wombs fall short (of their time or number) or exceed.
Everything with Him is in (due) proportion. Top
9. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Great, the Most
High.
10. It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or
declare it openly, whether he be hid by night or go forth freely by
day.
11. For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and
behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allâh. Verily!
Allâh will not change the good condition of a people as long
as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing
sins and by being ungrateful and
disobedient to Allâh). But when Allâh wills a
people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will
find besides Him no protector.
12. It
is He who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for travellers) and as a
hope (for those who wait for rain). And it is He Who brings up (or
originates) the clouds, heavy (with water). Top
13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the
angels because of His Awe, He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He
strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about
Allâh. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.
14. For
Him (Alone) is the Word of Truth (i.e. none has the right to be
worshipped but He). And those whom they (polytheists and disbelievers)
invoke, answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand (at
the edge of a deep well) for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches
him not, and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but an error
(i.e. of no use). Top
15. And unto Allâh (Alone) falls in prostration whoever is in
the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their
shadows in
the mornings and in the afternoons.
16. Say
(O Muhammad S.A.W): "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?"
Say: "(It is) Allâh." Say: "Have
you then taken (for worship) Auliyâ' (protectors, etc.) other
than
Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to
themselves?" Say: "Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness
equal to light? Or do they assign to Allâh partners who
created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made
and His creation) seemed alike to them." Say: "Allâh is the
Creator of all things, He is the One, the Irresistible." Top
17. He
sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the valleys flow according to
their measure, but the flood bears away the foam that mounts up to the
surface, and (also) from that (ore) which they heat in the fire in
order to make ornaments or utensils, rises a foam like unto it, thus
does Allâh (by parables) show forth truth and falsehood .
Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that
which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth. Thus
Allâh sets forth parables (for the truth and falsehood, i.e.
Belief and disbelief). Top
18. For those who answered their Lord's Call [believed in the Oneness
of Allâh and followed His Messenger Muhammad S.A.W i.e.
Islâmic Monotheism]
is Al-Husna (i.e. Paradise). But those who answered not His Call
(disbelieved
in the Oneness of Allâh and followed not His Messenger
Muhammad S.A.W),
if they had all that is in the earth together with its like, they would
offer
it in order to save themselves (from the torment, it will be in vain).
For
them there will be the terrible reckoning. Their dwelling place will be
Hell; - and worst indeed is that place for rest.
19. Shall he then who knows that what has been revealed unto you (O
Muhammad S.A.W) from your Lord is the truth be like him who is blind?
But it is only the men of understanding that pay heed.

Surah An-Nahl/ Chapter 16, verse 1-128
1. The Event (the
Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the
Islâmic
laws or commandments), ordained by Allâh will come to pass,
so seek
not to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they
associate
as partners with Him.
2. He sends down the angels with inspiration of His Command to whom of
His slaves He pleases (saying): "Warn mankind that Lâ
ilâha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I),
so fear Me (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds).
3. He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. High be He
Exalted above all they associate as partners with Him.
4. He
has created man from Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual
discharge), then behold, this same (man) becomes an open opponent. Top
5. And
the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth (warm
clothing), and numerous benefits, and of them you eat. Top
6. And wherein is beauty for you, when you bring them home in the
evening, and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning.
7. And they carry your loads to a land that you could not reach except
with great trouble to yourselves. Truly, your Lord is full of Kindness,
Most
Merciful.
8. And
(He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an
adornment. And He creates (other) things
of which you have no knowledge.Top
9. And
upon Allâh is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path
(i.e. Islâmic Monotheism for mankind i.e. to show them legal
and illegal, good and evil things, etc. so, whosoever accepts the
guidance, it will be for his own benefit and whosoever goes astray, it
will
be for his own destruction), but there are ways that turn aside (such
as
Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, etc.). And had He willed, He would
have guided
you all (mankind).
10. He
it is Who sends down water (rain)
from the sky; from it you drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on
which
you send your cattle to pasture; Top
11. With
it He causes to grow for you
the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of
fruit.
Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for
people
who give thought. Top
12. And
He has subjected to you the night and the day, the sun and the moon;
and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in this are proofs
for people who understand. Top
13. And
whatsoever He has created for
you on this earth of varying colours [and qualities from vegetation and
fruits,
etc. (botanical life) and from animal (zoological life)]. Verily! In
this
is a sign for people who remember. Top
14. And
He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh
tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments
to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek
(thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place)
and that you may be grateful. Top
15. And
He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should
shake with you, and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves. Top
16. And
landmarks (signposts, etc. during the day) and by the stars (during the
night), they (mankind) guide themselves. Top
17. Is
then He, Who creates as one who creates not? Will you not then
remember? Top
18. And
if you would count the graces of Allâh, never could you be
able to count them. Truly! Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. Top
19. And Allâh knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
20. Those whom they (Al-Mushrikûn ) invoke
besides Allâh have not created anything, but are themselves
created.
21. (They are) dead, lifeless, and they know not when they will be
raised up.
22. Your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh (God
Allâh, none has
the right to be worshipped but He). But for those who believe not in
the
Hereafter, their hearts deny (the faith in the Oneness of
Allâh), and
they are proud.
23. Certainly, Allâh knows what they conceal and what they
reveal. Truly, He likes not the proud.
24. And when it is said to them: "What is it that your Lord has sent
down (unto Muhammad S.A.W)?" They say: "Tales of the men of old!"
25. They will bear their own burdens in full on the Day of
Resurrection, and also of the burdens of those whom they misled without
knowledge. Evil indeed is that which they shall bear!
26. Those before them indeed plotted, but Allâh struck at the
foundation of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them,
from above them, and the torment overtook them from directions they did
not perceive.
27. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them and will
say: "Where are My (so called) 'partners' concerning whom you used to
disagree and dispute (with the believers, by defying and disobeying
Allâh)?" Those who have been given the knowledge (about the
Torment of Allâh for the disbelievers) will say: "Verily!
Disgrace this Day and misery are upon the disbelievers.
28. "Those whose lives the angels take while they are doing wrong to
themselves (by disbelief and by associating partners in worship with
Allâh and by committing all kinds of crimes and evil deeds)."
Then, they will make (false)
submission (saying): "We used not to do any evil." (The angels will
reply):
"Yes! Truly, Allâh is All-Knower of what you used to do.
29. "So enter the gates of Hell, to abide therein , and indeed, what an
evil abode will be for the arrogant."
30. And (when) it is said to those who are the Muttaqûn
(pious -
see V.2:2) "What is it that your Lord has sent down?" They say: "That
which
is good." For those who do good in this world, there is good, and the
home
of the Hereafter will be better. And excellent indeed will be the home
(i.e. Paradise) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2).
31. 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity) which they will enter,
under which rivers flow, they will have therein all that they wish.
Thus Allâh rewards the Muttaqûn (pious - see
V.2:2).
32. Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state
(i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allâh
Alone) saying (to them): Salâmun 'Alaikum (peace be on you)
enter you Paradise, because of (the good) which you used to do (in the
world)."
33. Do they (the disbelievers and polytheists) await but that the
angels should come to them [to take away their souls (at death)], or
there should come the command (i.e. the torment or the Day of
Resurrection) of your Lord? Thus did those before them. And
Allâh wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves.
34. Then, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and that at
which they used to mock surrounded them.
35. And those who join others in worship with Allâh say: "If
Allâh had so willed, neither we nor our fathers would have
worshipped aught but Him, nor would we have forbidden anything without
(Command from) Him." So did those before them. Then! Are the Messengers
charged with anything but to convey clearly the Message?
36. And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a
Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid
(or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities, etc.
i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides
Allâh)." Then of them were some whom Allâh guided
and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel
through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the
truth).
37. If you (O Muhammad S.A.W) covet for their guidance , then verily
Allâh guides not those whom He makes to go astray (or none
can guide him whom Allâh sends astray). And they will have no
helpers.
38. And they swear by Allâh their strongest oaths, that
Allâh will not raise up him who dies. Yes, (He will raise
them up), a promise
(binding) upon Him in truth, but most of mankind know not.
39. In order that He may make manifest to them the truth of that
wherein they differ, and that those who disbelieved (in Resurrection,
and in the Oneness
of Allâh) may know that they were liars.
40.
Verily! Our Word unto a thing when
We intend it, is only that We say unto it: "Be!" and it is. Top
41. And as for those who emigrated for the Cause of Allâh,
after
suffering oppression, We will certainly give them goodly residence in
this
world, but indeed the reward of the Hereafter will be greater, if they
but
knew!
42. (They are) those who remained patient (in this world for
Allâh's sake), and put their trust in their Lord
(Allâh Alone).
43. And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad S.A.W)
any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe
in the Oneness of Allâh). So ask of those who know the
Scripture [learned men
of the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know
not.
44. With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers). And We have
also sent down unto you (O Muhammad S.A.W) the reminder and the advice
(the Qur'ân), that you may explain clearly to men what is
sent down to them, and that they may give thought.
45. Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that
Allâh will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment
will not seize them from directions they perceive not?
46. Or that He may catch them in the midst of their going to and fro
(in their jobs), so that there be no escape for them (from
Allâh's Punishment)?
47. Or that He may catch them with gradual wasting (of their wealth and
health). Truly! Your Lord is indeed full of Kindness, Most Merciful?
48. Have they not observed things that Allâh has created,
(how) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making
prostration unto Allâh, and they are lowly?
49. And to Allâh prostate all that is in the heavens and all
that is in the earth, of the live moving creatures and the angels, and
they are not proud [i.e. they worship their Lord (Allâh) with
humility].
50. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are
commanded.
51. And Allâh said (O mankind!): "Take not
ilâhaîn (two gods in worship, etc.). Verily, He
(Allâh) is (the) only One Ilâh (God). Then, fear Me
(Allâh Ìá
ÌáÇáå) much [and
Me (Alone), i.e. be away from all kinds of sins and evil deeds that
Allâh has forbidden and do all that Allâh has
ordained and worship
none but Allâh] .
52. To
Him belongs all that is in the
heavens and (all that is in) the earth and Ad-Din Wasiba is His [(i.e.
perpetual
sincere obedience to Allâh is obligatory). None has the right
to be
worshipped but Allâh)]. Will you then fear any other than
Allâh? Top
53. And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from
Allâh. Then, when harm touches you, unto Him you cry aloud
for help.
54. Then, when He has removed the harm from you, behold! Some of you
associate others in worship with their Lord (Allâh).
55. So (as a result of that ) they deny (with ungratefulness) that
(Allâh's Favours) which We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy
yourselves (your short stay), but you will come to know (with regrets).
56. And they assign a portion of that which We have provided them unto
what they know not (false deities). By Allâh, you shall
certainly be
questioned about (all) that you used to fabricate.
57. And they assign daughters unto Allâh! Glorified (and
Exalted) be He above all that they associate with Him! . And unto
themselves what they
desire;
58. And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to
any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!
59. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that
whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury
her in the earth ? Certainly, evil is their decision.
60. For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description,
and for Allâh is the highest description. And He is the
All-Mighty,
the All-Wise.
61. And if Allâh were to seize mankind for their wrong-doing,
He
would not leave on it (the earth) a single moving (living) creature,
but
He postpones them for an appointed term and when their term comes,
neither
can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).
62. They assign to Allâh that which they dislike (for
themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that the better
things will be theirs. No doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be
the first to be hastened on
into it, and left there neglected. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî,
Vol.10, Page 121)
63. By Allâh, We indeed sent (Messengers) to the nations
before you (O Muhammad S.A.W), but Shaitân (Satan) made their
deeds fair-seeming to them. So he (Satan) is their Wali (helper) today
(i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment.
64. And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad
S.A.W), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in
which
they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe.
65. And
Allâh sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He revives
the earth therewith after its death. Verily, in this is a sign (clear
proof) for people who listen (obey Allâh). Top
66. And
verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink
of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood,
pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.Top
67. And
from the fruits of date-palms and grapes, you derive strong drink (this
was before the order of the prohibition of the alcoholic drinks) and a
goodly provision. Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have
wisdom. Top
68. And
your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Take you habitations in the
mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. Top
69. "Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made
easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of
varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a
sign for people who think.
70. And
Allâh has created you and then He will cause you to die, and
of you there are some who are sent back to senility, so that they know
nothing after having known (much). Truly! Allâh is
All-Knowing, All-Powerful. Top
71. And Allâh has preferred some of you above others in
wealth and properties. Then, those who are preferred will by no means
hand over their wealth and properties to those (slaves) whom their
right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect
thereof . Do they then deny the Favour of Allâh?
72. And
Allâh has made for you wives of your own kind, and has made
for you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and has bestowed on you
good provision. Do they then believe in false deities and deny the
Favour of Allâh (by not worshipping Allâh Alone). Top
73. And they worship others besides Allâh, such as do not and
cannot own any provision for them from the heavens or the earth.
74. So put not forward similitudes for Allâh (as there is
nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything). Truly!
Allâh knows and you
know not.
75. Allâh puts forward the example (of two men a believer and
a disbeliever); a slave (disbeliever) under the possession of another,
he has no power of any sort, and (the other), a man (believer) on whom
We have bestowed a good provision from Us, and He spends thereof
secretly and openly. Can they be equal? (By no means, not). All the
praises and thanks be to Allâh. Nay!
(But) most of them know not.
76. And Allâh puts forward (another) example of two men, one
of them dumb, who has no power over anything (disbeliever), and he is a
burden to his master, whichever way he directs him, he brings no good.
Is such a man equal to one (believer in the Islâmic
Monotheism) who commands justice, and is himself on a Straight Path?
77. And
to Allâh belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And
the matter of the Hour is not but as a twinkling of the eye, or even
nearer. Truly! Allâh is Able to do
all things. Top
78. And
Allâh has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers
while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that
you might give thanks (to Allâh). Top
79. Do
they not see the birds held (flying) in the midst of the sky? None
holds them but Allâh [none gave them the ability to fly but
Allâh]. Verily, in this are clear proofs and signs for people
who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh). Top
80. And
Allâh has made for you in your homes an abode, and made for
you out of the hides of the cattle (tents for) dwelling, which you find
so light (and handy) when you travel and when you stay (in your
travels), and of their wool, fur, and hair (sheep wool, camel fur, and
goat hair), a furnishing and articles of convenience (e.g. carpets,
blankets, etc.), a comfort for a while. Top
81. And
Allâh has made for you out of that which He has created
shades, and has made for you places of refuge in the mountains, and has
made for you garments to protect you from the heat (and cold), and
coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He
perfect His Grace unto you, that you may submit yourselves to His Will
(in Islâm). Top
82. Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad S.A.W) is only to
convey (the Message) in a clear way.
83. They recognise the Grace of Allâh, yet they deny it (by
worshipping others besides Allâh) and most of them are
disbelievers (deny the Prophethood of Muhammad S.A.W).
84. And (remember) the Day when We shall raise up from each nation a
witness (their Messenger), then, those who have disbelieved will not be
given leave (to put forward excuses), nor will they be allowed (to
return to the world) to repent and ask for Allâh's
Forgiveness (of their sins, etc.).
85. And when those who did wrong (the disbelievers) will see the
torment, then it will not be lightened unto them, nor will they be
given respite.
86. And when those who associated partners with Allâh see
their (Allâh's so-called) partners, they will say: "Our Lord!
These are our partners whom we used to invoke besides you." But they
will throw back their word at them (and say): "Surely! You indeed are
liars!"
87. And they will offer (their full) submission to Allâh
(Alone)
on that Day, and their invented false deities [all that they used to
invoke besides Allâh, e.g. idols, saints, priests, monks,
angels, jinns, Jibrael (Gabriel), Messengers, etc.] will vanish from
them.
88. Those who disbelieved and hinder (men) from the Path of
Allâh, for them We will add torment over the torment; because
they used to spread corruption [by disobeying Allâh
themselves, as well as ordering others (mankind) to do so].
89. And (remember) the Day when We shall raise up from every nation a
witness against them from amongst themselves. And We shall bring you (O
Muhammad S.A.W)
as a witness against these. And We have sent down to you the Book (the
Qur'an)
as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings
for
those who have submitted themselves (to Allâh as Muslims).
90. Verily, Allâh enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and
worshipping none but Allâh Alone - Islâmic
Monotheism) and Al-Ihsân [i.e. to be patient in performing
your duties to Allâh, totally for Allâh's sake and
in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet S.A.W in
a perfect manner], and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that
Allâh has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting,
looking after them, or
any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahshâ' (i.e
all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents,
polytheism, to tell
lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and
Al-Munkar
(i.e all that is prohibited by Islâmic law: polytheism of
every kind,
disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all
kinds
of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed.
91. And fulfill the Covenant of Allâh (Bai'a: pledge for
Islâm) when you have covenanted, and break not the oaths
after you have confirmed them, and indeed you have appointed
Allâh your surety. Verily! Allâh knows what you do.
92. And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun after
it has become strong, by taking your oaths a means of deception among
yourselves, lest a nation may be more numerous than another nation.
Allâh only tests
you by this [i.e who obeys Allâh and fulfills
Allâh's Covenant and who disobeys Allâh and breaks
Allâh's Covenant]. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will
certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ [i.e. a
believer confesses and believes in the Oneness of Allâh
and in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W which the disbeliever
denies
it and that was their difference amongst them in the life of this
world]
.
93. And had Allâh willed, He could have made you (all) one
nation, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. But
you shall certainly be called to account for what you used to do.
94. And make not your oaths, a means of deception among yourselves,
lest a foot may slip after being firmly planted, and you may have to
taste the evil (punishment in this world) of having hindered (men) from
the Path of Allâh (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of
Allâh and His Messenger, Muhammad S.A.W), and yours will be a
great torment (i.e. the Fire of Hell in the Hereafter).
95. And purchase not a small gain at the cost of Allâh's
Covenant. Verily! What is with Allâh is better for you if you
did but know.
96. Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with
Allâh (of good deeds) will remain. And those who are patient,
We will certainly pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what
they used to do .
97. Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or
she) is a true believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) verily, to
him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment
and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in
proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the
Hereafter).
98. So when you want to recite the Qur'ân, seek refuge with
Allâh from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed
one).
99. Verily! He has no power over those who believe and put their trust
only in their Lord (Allâh).
100. His power is only over those who obey and follow him (Satan), and
those who join partners with Him (Allâh) [i.e. those who are
Mushrikûn - polytheists - see Verse 6:121].
101. And when We change a Verse [of the Qur'ân, i.e. cancel
(abrogate) its order] in place of another, and Allâh knows
the best of what He sends down, they (the disbelievers) say: "You (O
Muhammad S.A.W) are but a
Muftari! (forger, liar)." Nay, but most of them know not.
102. Say (O Muhammad S.A.W) Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)] has
brought it (the Qur'an) down from your Lord with truth, that it may
make firm and strengthen (the Faith of) those who believe and as a
guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted (to
Allâh as Muslims).
103. And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is
only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad S.A.W)." The tongue of the
man
they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'ân) is a clear
Arabic
tongue.
104. Verily! Those who believe not in the Ayât (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of
Allâh, Allâh will not guide them and theirs will be
a painful torment.
105. It is only those who believe not in the Ayât (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of
Allâh, who fabricate falsehood,
and it is they who are liars.
106. Whoever disbelieved in Allâh after his belief, except
him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith but
such as open their
breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allâh, and theirs
will
be a great torment.
107. That is because they loved and preferred the life of this world
over that of the Hereafter. And Allâh guides not the people
who disbelieve.
108. They are those upon whose hearts, hearing (ears) and sight (eyes)
Allâh has set a seal. And they are the heedless!
109. No doubt, in the Hereafter, they will be the losers.
110. Then, verily! Your Lord for those who emigrated after they had
been put to trials and thereafter strove hard and fought (for the Cause
of Allâh) and were patient, verily, your Lord afterward is,
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
111. (Remember) the Day when every person will come up pleading for
himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did (good or
evil, belief or
disbelief in the life of this world) and they will not be dealt with
unjustly.
112.
And Allâh puts forward the example of a township (Makkah),
that dwelt secure and well content; its provision coming to it in
abundance from every place, but it (its people) denied the Favours of
Allâh (with ungratefulness). So Allâh made it taste
the extreme of hunger (famine) and fear, because of that (evil, i.e.
denying Prophet Muhammad S.A.W) which they (its people) used to do .
113. And verily, there had come unto them a Messenger (Muhammad S.A.W)
from among themselves, but they denied him, so the torment overtook
them
while they were Zâlimûn (polytheists and
wrong-doers, etc.).
114. So eat of the lawful and good food which Allâh has
provided
for you. And be grateful for the Graces of Allâh, if it is He
Whom
you worship.
115. He has forbidden you only Al-Maytatah (meat of a dead animal),
blood, the flesh of swine, and any animal which is slaughtered as a
sacrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaughtered for
idols etc. or on which Allâh's Name has not been mentioned
while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful
disobedience, and not transgressing, then, Allâh is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
116. And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely:
"This is lawful and this is forbidden," so as to invent lies against
Allâh. Verily, those who invent lies against Allâh
will never prosper.
117. A passing brief enjoyment (will be theirs), but they will have a
painful torment.
118. And unto those who are Jews, We have forbidden such things as We
have mentioned to you (O Muhammad S.A.W) before [in
Sûrat-Al-An'am, (The Cattle), see Verse 6:146]. And We
wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves.
119. Then, verily! Your Lord for those who do evil (commit sins and are
disobedient to Allâh) in ignorance and afterward repent and
do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
120. Verily, Ibrâhim (Abraham) was an Ummah (a leader having
all
the good righteous qualities), or a nation, obedient to
Allâh, Hanifa
(i.e. to worship none but Allâh), and he was not one of those
who were
Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the
Oneness of
Allâh, and those who joined partners with Allâh).
121. (He was) thankful for His (Allâh's) Graces. He
(Allâh)
chose him (as an intimate friend) and guided him to a Straight Path
(Islâmic Monotheism, neither Judaism nor Christianity ).
122. And We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he shall
be of the righteous.
123. Then, We have inspired you (O Muhammad S.A.W saying): "Follow the
religion of Ibrâhim (Abraham) Hanifa (Islâmic
Monotheism - to
worship none but Allâh) and he was not of the
Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers, etc.).
124. The Sabbath was only prescribed for those who differed concerning
it, and verily, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of
Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.
125. Invite (mankind, O Muhammad S.A.W) to the Way
of your Lord (i.e. Islâm) with wisdom (i.e.
with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'ân) and fair
preaching, and
argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best
who
has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who
are
guided.
126. And if you punish (your enemy, O you believers
in the Oneness of Allâh), then punish them
with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you endure
patiently,
verily, it is better for As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.)
.
127. And endure you patiently (O Muhammad S.A.W), your patience is not
but from Allâh. And grieve not over them (polytheists and
pagans, etc.), and be not distressed because of what they plot.
128. Truly, Allâh is with those who fear Him (keep their duty
unto Him) , and those who are Muhsinûn (good-doers, - see the
footnote of V.9:120).
11.
Surah
Al-Anbiyah' / Chapter 21, verse 104
104. And (remember) the Day when We shall roll up the heavens like a
scroll rolled up for books, as We began the first creation, We shall
repeat it, (it
is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it. Top
12.
Surah Al-Mu'minun / Chapter
23, verse
17
17. And indeed We have created above you seven heavens (one over the
other), and We are never unaware of the creation. Top
13.
Surah An-Nur / Chapter 24,
verse 35, 39-41
35. Allâh is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The
parable
of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the
lamp
is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed
tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only
in the morning)
nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but
it
is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth
(of
itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allâh
guides to
His Light whom He wills. And Allâh sets forth parables for
mankind, and Allâh is All-Knower of everything. Top
//
39. As for those who
disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one
thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be
nothing, but he finds Allâh with him, Who will pay him his
due (Hell). And Allâh is Swift in taking account.
Top
40. Or [the state of a
disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with
a great wave topped by a
great wave, topped by dark clouds, darkness, one above another, if a
man stretches
out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allâh has
not appointed
light, for him there is no light.Top
41. See you not (O Muhammad S.A.W) that Allâh, He it is Whom
glorify whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with
wings out-spread (in their flight). Of each one He (Allâh)
knows indeed his Salât (prayer) and his
glorification, [or everyone knows his Salât
(prayer) and his glorification], and Allâh is All-Aware of
what they do.

Surah Al-Furqan / Chapter 25,
verse 59
59. Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them
in six Days. Then He Istawâ (rose over) the Throne (in a
manner that
suits His Majesty). The Most Beneficent (Allâh)! Ask Him (O
Prophet
Muhammad S.A.W), (concerning His Qualities, His rising over His Throne,
His
creations, etc.), as He is Al-Khabîr (The All-Knower of
everything
i.e. Allâh). Top

Surah An-Naml / Chapter 27,
verse 17-28, 59 - 66
17. And there were gathered before Sulaimân (Solomon) his
hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle
order (marching forwards).
18. Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants
said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaimân (Solomon)
and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not."
19. So he [Sulaimân (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech
and said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability
that I may be grateful
for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and
that
I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by
Your
Mercy among Your righteous slaves." Top
20. He inspected the
birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is
he among the absentees? Top
21. "I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him,
unless he brings me a clear reason."
22. But the hoopoe stayed not long, he (came up and) said: "I have
grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I
have come to you
from Saba' (Sheba) with true news.
23. "I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all
things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a
great throne.
24. "I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of
Allâh, and Shaitân (Satan) has made their deeds
fair-seeming to them, and has
barred them from (Allâh's) Way, so they have no guidance,"
25. Al-Lâ (this word has two interpretations) (A) [As
Shaitân (Satan) has barred them from Allâh's Way]
so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allâh, or (B)
So that they may worship (prostrate before) Allâh, Who brings
to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what
you conceal and what you reveal. [Tafsir At-Tabarî, Vol. 19,
Page 149]
26. Allâh, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has
the right to
be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
27. [Sulaimân (Solomon)] said: "We shall see whether you
speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars.
28. "Go you with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw
back from them, and see what (answer) they return."
//
59. Say (O Muhammad
S.A.W): "Praise and thanks be to Allâh, and peace be on His
slaves whom He has chosen (for His Message)! Is Allâh better,
or (all) that you ascribe as partners (to Him)?" (Of course,
Allâh is Better). Top
60. Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and the
earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky, whereby We
cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not
in your ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any ilâh
(god) with Allâh? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe
equals (to Him)!
61. Is not He (better
than your gods) Who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed
rivers in its midst, and has
placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two
seas
(of salt and sweet water).Is there any ilâh
(god) with Allâh?
Nay, but most of them know not. Top
62. Is not He (better
than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him,
and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth,
generations after generations. Is there any ilâh
(god) with Allâh? Little is that you remember! Top
63. Is not He (better
than your gods) Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea,
and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His
Mercy (rain)? Is there any ilâh (god)
with Allâh? High Exalted be Allâh above all that
they associate as partners (to Him)! Top
64. Is not He (better
than your so-called gods) Who originates creation, and shall thereafter
repeat it, and Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Is there any
ilâh (god) with Allâh?
Say, "Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful."Top
65. Say: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib
(unseen) except Allâh, nor can they perceive when they shall
be resurrected."
66. Nay, they have no knowledge of the Hereafter. Nay, they are in
doubt about it. Nay, they are blind about it.

Surah Al-Ankabut / Chapter
29, verse 41-44
41. The likeness of those who take Auliyâ' (protectors
and helpers) other than Allâh is as the likeness of a spider,
who builds (for itself) a house, but verily, the frailest (weakest) of
houses is the spider's house; if they but knew.
42. Verily, Allâh knows what things they invoke instead of
Him. He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
43. And these similitudes We put forward for mankind, but none will
understand them except those who have knowledge (of Allâh and
His Signs, etc.).
44. (Allâh says to His Prophet Muhammad S.A.W):
"Allâh (Alone) created the heavens and the earth with truth
(and none shared Him in their creation)." Verily! Therein is surely a
sign for those who believe.

Surah Ar-Rum / Chapter 30,

20. And among His Signs is this, that He created you (Adam) from dust,
and then [Hawwa' (Eve) from Adam's rib, and then his offspring from the

21. And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from
among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put
between you affection
and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

Bounty. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen. Top

earth. And He is the AllMighty, the
AllWise.

goodly kind to grow
therein. Top

Him, as a Walî (protector or helper etc.) or an intercessor.

not then remember (or be admonished)?

AllMighty, the Most Merciful.

of man from clay.

their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us
back (to the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now
believe with certainty."

those who ask (about its creation). Top

Istawâ (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and
said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or
unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly." Top

and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He
made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest)
heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from
the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the
Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. Top

Surah Al-Ahqaf / Chapter 46,
verse 3-5, 33-34
3. We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between
them except with truth, and for an appointed term. But those who
disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned.
4. Say (O Muhammad S.A.W to these pagans): "Think! All that you invoke
besides Allâh show me! What have they created of the earth?
Or have
they a share in (the creation of) the heavens? Bring me a Book
(revealed
before this), or some trace of knowledge (in support of your claims),
if
you are truthful!" Top
5. And who is more astray than one who calls (invokes) besides
Allâh, such as will not answer him till the Day of
Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations)
to them?

Allâh, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not
wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Yes, He
surely is Able to do all things. Top

Fire (it will be said to them): "Is this not the truth?" They will say:

our Lord!" He will say: "Then taste the torment, because you used to
disbelieve!"

15. Were We then tired with the first creation? Nay, They are in
confused doubt about a new creation (i.e. Resurrection)? Top
16. And indeed We have
created man, and We know
what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his
jugular
vein (by Our Knowledge). Top

human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one
sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions) .

ready (to record it).
19. And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have
been avoiding!"

(had been given) (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
21. And every person will come forth along with an (angel) to drive
(him), and an (angel) to bear witness.
22. (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of
this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this
Day!"

with me!"
