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.

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.
4. 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.

54. Indeed your Lord
is Allâh, Who 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)!

is Allâh Who created 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.

7. Surah Hud / Chapter 11, verse 7
7. And He it is Who
has created the heavens and the earth in six Days and His Throne was on the
water, that He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds. But if you
were to say to them: "You shall indeed be raised up after death," those who
disbelieve would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious magic. "

2-19
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."

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.
9. Surah Ibrahim / Chapter
14, verse 19-20
19. Do you not see that Allâh
has created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove
you and bring (in your place) a new creation!
20. And for Allâh that is not hard or difficult (i.e. very easy for
Allâh).
Top
10. 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.
14. 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
15. 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.
16. 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.
Top
17. Surah Ar-Rum / Chapter 30, verse
20-27
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 semen,
and], - behold you are human beings scattered!
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.
22. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs
for men of sound knowledge. Top
23. And among His Signs is the sleep that you
take by night and by day, and your seeking of His Bounty. Verily, in that
are indeed signs for a people who listen. Top
24. And among His Signs is that He shows you the lightning, by way of fear
and hope, and He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and therewith revives
the earth after its death. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who
understand.
25. And among His Signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His Command,
then afterwards when He will call you by single call, behold, you will come
out from the earth (i.e from your graves for reckoning and recompense).
26. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient
to Him.
27. And He it is Who originates the creation, then will repeat it (after
it has been perished), and this is easier for Him. His is the highest description
(i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but He, and there is nothing comparable
unto Him) in the heavens and in the earth. And He is the AllMighty, the
AllWise.
18. Surah Luqman / Chapter 31, verse
10-11, 27-28
10. He has created the heavens without any pillars, that you see and has
set on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He has

creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair.

devils). Such is the Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. Top

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
