Atheists in Quran (40) the Challenge they could not cope with

Posted on by

In the previous article, Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce a Quran like the one revealed.

In this article, Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran

However, the Atheists could not cope with this intellectual Linguistic challenge.

———————————

The meanings of the verses 11:13-14:

The Atheists often claimed that the Quran was a forgery, invented by the Prophet Muhammad.

Allah commanded His Prophet to challenge them to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran, and to that end, they are able to seek the help of whomever they like

“If they say: We has invented it,’ say: ‘Produce, then, ten invented Surah like it, and call for help on all you can other than Allah, if what you say is true.’”

Herein, the Quran narrows down this intellectual Linguistic challenge from the entire Quran to ten Surah.

In the previous article, we have seen that the Orientalists might have been disabled to face the challenge because the Quran is composed of 114 Surah (Chapter); however, what about ten Surah?

See the next article.

The challenge was once to produce a Quran like the one revealed. Herein, it required them to produce ten Surah.

The purpose was to challenge them to produce anything like the Quran, in full or in part.

 “And call for help on all you can other than Allah, if what you say is true.”

The challenge included anyone they cared to call to their aid as:

  • Their deities, which they worship,
  • Their premium poets
  • Those who have the best literary talents.
  • The Orientalists

Call on everyone you can seek the help, even call on the entire Humankind if to help you if you are truthful in your claim

To prove their allegation that Muhammad invented the Quran; all they had to do is to produce ten Surah like those of the Quran.

However, all the help you seek will produce nothing.

Then it should be enough for you to come to know the truth of revelation

“If they do not respond to you, “know that the Quran has been bestowed from on High with Allah’s knowledge.””

Allah alone has the ability to bestow the Quran.

Only His knowledge could have produced it the way it is.

They must also realize “that there is no deity other than Him.”

This is the net result of the inability of their helpers to help compose ten Surah similar to those Allah revealed.

The self-evident conclusion then is:

  • There is only one God, Allah,
  • Allah only is able to reveal such a Scripture.

Having stated this fact, which does not admit any contradiction, the verse concludes with a question, which allows for only one answer, unless it be by those who stubbornly refuse to admit the evident.

The question is:

“Will you then submit yourselves to Allah?”

If they, that is, those on whom you call for assistance, do not answer you, know that there is no God save Allah.

Will you then submit and believe?

———————————

The verses 11:13-14 in different translations:

QARIB:

13- Or do they say: ‘he has forged it? ‘Say (to them): ‘then produce ten forged chapters like it. Call, if you are able, upon other than Allah, if what you say is true. ‘

14- But if they do not answer you, know that it has been sent down with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god except he. So, have you surrendered (become Muslims)?

SHAKIR:

13- Or, do they say: he has forged it. Say: then bring ten forged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful

14- But if they do not answer you, then know that it is revealed by Allah’s knowledge and that there is no god but he; will you then submit?

PICKTHAL:

13- Or they say: he hath invented it. say: then bring ten Surah, the like thereof, invented, and call on everyone ye can beside Allah, if ye are truthful!

14- And if they answer not your prayer, then know that it is revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no Allah save him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender?

YUSUFALI:

13- Or they may say, “he forged it,” say, “bring ye then ten Surah forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than Allah!- if ye speak the truth!

14- “If then they (your false gods) answer not your (call), know ye that this revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but he! Will ye even then submit (to Islam)?”

Atheists in Quran (23) Allah has no need of them

Posted on by

If you disbelieve, Allah has no need of you; however, be aware that the ultimate end of your journey is to Allah. There can be neither escape from Him nor refuge with anyone else. You can hide nothing from Him.

———————————

The verse 39:7 declares some basic but essential facts To Whom It May Concern

The verse talks about:

  • What if you disbelieve
  • What if you believe
  • Will you bear the sins of another one
  • What is your ultimate end?

What will happen if you disbelieve or if you believe?

If you disbelieve, Allah has no need of you; nor is He pleased with your disbelief

If you believe and give thanks, Allah is pleased with you.

If you disbelieve in Muhammad and in the Quran and you are thankless, Allah is Independent of you. Allah is not in need of your faith, though:

  • He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen
  • He is not pleased with disbelief in Muhammad and in the Quran, because disbelief is not His religion

If you are ungrateful, indeed Allah is Independent of you, though He does not approve of ungratefulness for His servants

If you believe and give thanks, to Allah, He is pleased therewith for you He will approve such thankfulness, for you and accept it from you because that is His religion.

If you believe, you will not increase His kingdom in any way. If you disbelieve, this too will not affect His kingdom in any adverse way. He, however, does not like people to disbelieve.

By contrast, “lf you give thanks, He is pleased with you.” He will accept this from you and reward you generously for it.

Will you bear the sins of another one?

No burdened soul shall bear the burden of another soul, in other words, it will not bear the responsibility for it.

No laden soul will bear another’s load

No soul will bear the sins of another;

No soul will be taken to task for the sins of another soul, for each soul will be taken to task for its own sins;

Allah will not punish any soul for no crime.

Everyone is accountable for his or her own deeds, and none will be held responsible for another one, nor will he be allowed to take upon himself part of another’s burden

What is your ultimate end?

Then to your Lord will be your return, whereat He will inform you of what you used to do.

Unto Allah, your Lord is your return after death; then He will tell you on the Day of Judgment what you used to do and what you used to say in the life of this world.

Indeed, Allah is Knower of what is in the breasts of men of good and evil, Allah is Knower of what is in the hearts of men.

In conclusion, the ultimate end of your journey is to Allah. There can be neither escape from Him nor refuge with anyone else. You can hide nothing from Him

———————————

The verse 39:7 in different translations:

QARIB:

If you disbelieve, Allah is rich, independent of you. yet he does not approve of disbelief to his worshipers, but if you believe he will approve it in you. no laden soul shall bear another’s load. then, to Allah you shall return and he will tell to you what you have done. he knows the innermost of your chests.

SHAKIR:

If you are ungrateful, then surely Allah is self-sufficient above all need of you; and he does not like ungratefulness in his servants; and if you are grateful, he likes it in you; and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another; then to your Lord is your return, then will he inform you of what you did; surely he is cognizant of what is in the breasts

PICKTHAL:

If ye are thankless, yet Allah is independent of you, though he is not pleased with thanklessness for his bondmen; and if ye are thankful he is pleased therewith for you. no laden soul will bear another’s load. then unto your Lord is your return; and he will tell you what ye used to do. lo! he knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).

YUSUFALI:

If ye reject (Allah), truly Allah hath no need of you; but he liketh not ingratitude from his servants: if ye are grateful, he is pleased with you. no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. in the end, to your Lord is your return, when he will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for he knoweth well all that is in (men’s) hearts.

Atheists in Quran (6) are they scientific-minded

Posted on by

The Quran says:

1) Have the Atheists not realized, that the heavens and the earth were of one piece and then Allah parted them (the Big Bang theory of creation),

2) Have the Atheists not realized, that Allah made of water every living and water is the cause of such beings having life (a well-established Biological fact)

3) Will they not then believe in the Quran and in Muhammad?  

———————————

The verse 21:30 of the Quran presents two scientific issues to the Atheists to stimulate them to think scientifically; they are:

  1. The Big Bang theory of creation
  2. The well-established Biological fact of the role of water

In the verse 21:30, Allah tells of His perfect might and power in His creation.

Have not the Atheists known, do they not realize that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then Allah parted them!

Do they not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, i.e. in the beginning they were all one piece, attached to one another and piled up on top of one another, and then Allah separated them from one another?

Moreover, Allah have made from water every living thing.

Will they (the Atheists) not then believe!

They see with their own eyes how creation develops step by step.

All of that is proof of the existence of the Creator Who is in control of all things and is able to do whatever He wills.

It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad said:

“Every being is created from water.”

About 75% of the surface of our Globe is covered with water, and it has been estimated that if the inequalities on the surface were all leveled, the whole surface would be under water, as the mean elevation of land sphere-level would be 7,000-10,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.

This shows the predominance of water on our Globe.

That all life began in the water is also a conclusion to which our latest knowledge in biological science points.

The protoplasm, the original basis of living matter, is liquid or semi-liquid and in a state of constant flux and instability

The constitution of protoplasm is about 80 to 85 per cent of water.

Water is the main constituents of every living being like bacteria, protozoa, fungi, molds, plants, animals and human being; it is about 75-85% of the body weight of every living being.

For fourteen centuries, the Quran has drawn the attention of the Atheists to the great marvels Allah placed in the universe, wondering how they could deny what they see everywhere:

“Will they not, then, believe?”

How could they persist in their disbelief when everything around them in this universe inevitably leads to faith in Allah, the Almighty Creator, and the Wise who conducts all affairs?

Will the Atheists not then believe in the Quran? If they are scientific-minded as they claim.

———————————

What the Muslims say about the verse 21:30 and the alike verses?

  • The Quran is not a book of science.
  • The Quran may refer to some universal facts, as the two facts stated in the verse 21:30
  • Muslims accept this as an absolute certainty simply because Allah, the Almighty Creator, said it.
  • Muslims certainly do not know how the heavens and the earth have parted, or ripped one from the other.
  • The Quran mentions the Big Bang; however, this neither fills us with wonder nor increases our belief in the truth of the Quran.
  • Indeed, we are proud of the Quran mentioning these two Scientific issues. In fact, there are some 100 of scientific facts in the Quran.
  • However, our belief in the absolute truth of everything stated in the Quran is built on our unshakeable belief that it is Allah’s revelation, not on its being confirmed by scientific discoveries or theories.

———————————

The verse 21:30 in different translations:

QARIB:

Have the unbelievers not seen that the heavens and the earth were sewn up as one (solid) mass, then we unstitched them, and that we made every living thing of water? Will they not believe!

SHAKIR:

Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but we have opened them; and we have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?

PICKTHAL:

Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then we parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?

YUSUFALI:

Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

The Rabbit in Bible vs. Quran vs. Science

Posted on by
514

The Bible says that the Rabbit is a ruminant animal. The scientists say that the Rabbit is not a ruminant animal.

The Quran does not mention the Rabbit by name but it gives an Arabic word of four letters that can be applicable for man, animals, birds, plants and microbes.

——————————–

The Rabbit in the Bible:

RABBITS ERRONEOUSLY CALLED RUMINANTS IN THE BIBLE

The rabbits are mentioned in the Old Testament in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. The rabbit does not mentioned in the New Testament.

The quotes herein are from the New International Version.

Leviticus 11:3-6:

‘Whatever divides the hoof, and is cloven-footed, chewing the cud, among the animals, that you shall eat.

‘Only, you shall not eat these of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, for he chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.

And the rock badger, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.

‘And the hare, because he chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.’

 

Deuteronomy 14:6-8:

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.

However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the Coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.

The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.

 

These verses made the digestive process of the rabbit an object of a hot theological discussion.

In Hebrew “arnebeth” means rabbit

Also, in Arabic “arnab” means a male rabbit and “arnabat” means a female rabbit.

The Hebrew words are: ‘ALEH GERAH, lit,

These Hebrew words mean ‘Gerah the cud’ and translated to ‘chew the cud’

The exact or the true translation should be: “raising up what has been swallowed”)? Or may be translated to ‘bring up the cud’

Rabbits do not bring up anything; they let it go all the way through, and then eat it again. The description given in Leviticus is inaccurate. Rabbits do eat their own dung; they do not bring anything up and chew on it.

The Bible says that the hare chews the cud, but the scientists claim that the Bible is in error on this point.

Furthermore, some skeptics claim that since the Bible contains this error, it is not the Word of God and cannot be taken seriously on any other points either.

 

Animals that ‘chew the cud’ are called ruminants. They hardly chew their food when first eaten, but swallow it into a special stomach where the food is partially digested. Then it is regurgitated, chewed again, and swallowed into a different stomach. Animals which do this include cows, sheep and goats, and they all have four stomachs. Coneys and rabbits are not ruminants.

Animals which do this include cows, sheep, goats, deer, and giraffes; they all have four stomachs and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food.” Coneys and rabbits are not ruminants.

The rabbit does not fit this definition, and trying to classify it as a ruminant is not accepted.

Biblical scholars refuse to see this statement as a biological error that incorrectly classifies the rabbit as a ruminant or cud-chewer.

When defining the rabbit, most of the Bible Dictionaries say that the habit of the rabbit is to grind its teeth and move its jaw as if it actually chewed the cud. But, like the Coney, it is not a ruminant with four stomachs, but a rodent like the squirrel, rat, etc. Moses speaks of it according to appearance. It is interdicted because, though apparently chewing the cud, it did not divide the hoof.”

Examples of what is said about the rabbit in some Bible Dictionaries

A) Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, page 525:

“The assertion that the hare is a ruminant is contrary to fact. Some movements of the mouth and jaws have been erroneously interpreted as cud-chewing.”

B) International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, page 616:

“This animal is mentioned only in the lists of unclean animals in Leviticus and Deuteronomy…The hare and the Coney are not ruminants, but might be supposed to be from their habit of almost continuously moving their jaws.”

C) Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible, 2000 edition, page 552:

“Because it “chews the cud” but “does not have divided hoofs,” the hare is classified as an unclean animal (Lev. 11:6; Deut. 14:7). Actually, it is not a ruminant but may have appeared as such to ancient observers because of its constant chewing movements.”

A Biblical scholar said:

“I don’t believe the rabbit chews the cud in the modern technical sense. It simply makes a chewing motion that from an observational point of view can be associated with other animals that do chew the cud in the technical sense.”

Another intellectual claims that “the Hebrew “arnebeth” means an unidentified animal which is rendered hare or rabbit, perhaps incorrectly”. His opinion is far beyond the reality!

Other Biblical academic scholar said:

“Does the rabbit ruminate? True ruminants normally have four stomachs, and that which has been worked over in these stomachs is regurgitated into the mouth when it is ready to be chewed again. In this technical sense neither the rabbit nor the hare can be called ruminants, but they do give the appearance of chewing their cud in the same way ruminants do.”

Herein the conclusion of what the Biblical researchers say:

  • The Rabbits do give the appearance of chewing their cud in the same way ruminants do.
  • The Rabbits are not ruminants, but might be supposed to be from their habit of almost continuously moving their jaws.
  • The Rabbits are not ruminants but may have appeared as such to ancient observers because of their constant chewing movements.

Now the question is: what is the relation between the Word of God and the ancient observers who assumed that the Rabbits are cud-chewing due to its habit of continuously moving its jaws?

In addition, who wrote the Bible God or those observers?

——————————–

The Rabbit in the Quran:

The rabbit by name is not mentioned in the Quran.

However, the Quran gives an Arabic word of four characters that can be applicable for man, animals, birds, plants and microbes.

You will read about this comprehensive word very soon.

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?”

The Atom in Bible vs. Quran vs. Science

Posted on by
816

One of the inherited doctrines of humankind is that the “Quran is quoted or borrowed from the Bible”

In this series of articles, I will try to explore this Dogma on scientific basis to show up its legitimacy.

In the present topic of Atom, one may ask this:

Is it true that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

In addition, which book precedes the sciences? The book that mentioned the atom and the atomic weight for six times or the book that mentions neither the atom nor the atomic weight?

Before dealing with the topic of the, it may be fruitful to give some statistical hints. The total words in the Bible are 788,280 while total words in the Quran are 77,473.

It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran referring to the number of words.

In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times than the Quran to exhibit its goods. Back to the Atom and Atomic weight, they are not mentioned in the Bible and they are mentioned six times in the Quran.

—————————————

the Atom and Atomic weight in the Bible:

When we search the Bible; we find that

1) No results would be found for atom,

2) No results would be found for atomic weight 3) No results would be found for subatomic Atomic weight. It follows that, the Bible does not mention the “Atom” or the “Atomic Weight” or the “Sub-Atomic Weight” On the other hand, the Quran is the first written book on the earth that mentions the “atom”, “atomic weight”, and “Sub-Atomic Weight”

—————————————

Atom in the Quran:

The existence of particles smaller than the Atom: In ancient times, a well-known theory named ‘Theory of Atomism’ was widely acknowledged. Democritus, the Greek about 23 centuries ago, originally anticipated this theory. Democritus and the scholars who came after him, postulated that the smallest unit of matter was the atom.

The Arabs used to believe the same. The Arabic word “zarrah” most commonly meant an atom. In recent times, modern scientists have discovered that it is likely to split even an atom. The scientific development of the 20th century shows that the atom splits further to something smaller than the Atom.

 Fourteen centuries ago, this notion would have appeared unusual even to both the Greeks and the Arabs. For both the Atom and “zarrah” was the limit beyond which one could not go further. Nevertheless, the Noble Quran refuses to accept this limit that is put by the Greeks and the Arabs.

In Surah 34:3

“The Unbelievers say, “Never to us will come the Hour”: say, “Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you; – by Him Who knows the unseen – from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the Heavens or on earth: nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but (all) is recorded in a clear and profound book”.
 
This verse replied the Unbelievers who denied the “Hour” (the Day of Judgment and the afterlife).

The verse refers to the Omniscience of Allah,

Allah knows everything both hidden and apparent.

Allah is aware of everything, including what is smaller or bigger than the atom.

Thus, the verse 34:3 clearly shows that it is possible for something smaller than the atom to exist.

This scientific fact has discovered after the revelation of the Quran by 1350 years.

The subatomic weight in the Noble Quran: In Surah 10:61 “In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur’an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) And not the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven the sky escapeth your Lord, nor what is less than that or greater than that , but it is recorded ( written ) in a clear profound record (Book) “.

In Surah 34:22

“Say (O Muhammad): ” Call upon those whom ye assert (set up) besides Allah: they have no power – not the weight of an atom – in the heavens or on earth; no (sort of) share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to Allah.” This is the Quranic teachings that give us a productive scientific hint about the subatomic weight,

Furthermore, the Quran gives us an advice to use this scientific hint in our life. How small the atom is?

If we know that every work we are doing even if it is smaller than an atom will be recorded and we will see it in the afterlife and either get rewarded or punished for it, then tell me how would be the style of mankind’s life if we believe in these Quranic teachings. If we read this verse in Surah 99:6 “On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the Deeds that they had done” This verse determines the final outcome for each of us. In Surah 99:7 “Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it!” In Surah 99:8 “And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it.” In conclusion, the Quran is the first book On Earth that mentions these three topics; 1) The Atom, 2) The Atomic weight and 3) The subatomic weight. No book before the Quran mentioned these three topics together. The thing is that the Quran is not a scientific book to give us detailed sophisticated scientific expression.

Nevertheless, the Quran uses these three topics for faith and religious purposes.

This unique style of the Quran is just to make you aware of three very important issues; they are:

1) Allah know everything, whatever it is, even if it is too smaller than the subatomic weight,

2) Our work even if it is too smaller than the subatomic weight is recorded and we will see it in the afterlife and

3) In the afterlife, the reward or punishment for our work will be the most fair because it weighs our deeds even if they are smaller than the subatomic weight. Good rewards and the forever-paradise for the good work. “Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.” Bad punishments and the forever fire for the bad work. “And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.” Not only that, but Allah is the most generous; Allah will double the reward for the good deed. In Surah 4:40 “Allah is never unjust in the weight of an atom: if there is any good (done) He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.” It follows that whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it and get rewarded double time for it.

—————————————

Back to our main issue; one may ask this: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible. In addition, which book precedes the sciences? The book which mentioned the atom , the atomic weight and the subatomic weight 6 times or the book which does not mention at all neither the atom or the atomic weight or the subatomic weight?

Sons of God in Bible vs Quran (1)

Posted on by

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible vs Quran (1)

The Bible says that the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, has SONS who married the daughters of men. 

The Quran says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has no son(s).

—————————————————

The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (1)

The Bible says that the sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, saw the daughters of men who were fair, beautiful and attractive and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

But the Bible does not tell the names of the sons of the Lord God,

The Bible also does not give the physical attributes of the sons of the Lord God. In addition, the Bible does not tell what the number of the sons of the Lord God was and how many they were?

In short, the Bible does not let us know who, how, when, where, how many etc. in respect to the sons of the Lord God.

On the other hand, the Bible gives some informative details about the sons of the kings of Judah, for example, but does not give any details about the Sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, who are of course very much more important than the sons of the kings of Judah .  The Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

—————————————————

Genesis 6:1-2

New International Version

1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,

2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

New American Standard Bible

1Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

English Standard Version

1When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,

2the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.

King James Version

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Young’s Literal Translation

1And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,

2and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

—————————————————

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (1)

The Quran firmly forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Just a son; just one son!

Glory is to Him, in affirmation of His being transcendent above doing such a thing.

Allah absolves Himself from taking a son or partner. 

The herein mentioned verse is in the Surah 19 (Chapter 19) that is called “Mary”.

In this Surah, the Quran denies that the Lord Jesus is Allah’ son.

So, the verse says:

When Allah decrees a thing, that is, when He will for it to happen, He only says to it, ‘Be!’, and it is.

This means that when Allah wants to create a son without a father, He saith unto it only: Be! And it is a son without a father, just like the case of the Lord Jesus who has No Human father.

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

In a very simple word, Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

In this world, there are a One Almighty Creator and many different creatures.

The One Almighty Creator is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever you name Him.

The many different creatures are man, animals, insects, plants, microbes, fungi, viruses, atoms, gases, water, liquids, metals, planets, stars etc.

To make it simple, man invents and creates many things like pen, book, chair, car, plane, computer etc.  Herein, man is the creator of these creatures; nevertheless, can the pen for example claim that he is the son of man?  Who would believe it?

The plain clear cut conclusion of this essential point that may establish or destroy the faith, from the Islamic point of view is that:

Anyone who believes that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.

Anyone who believes that the Almighty Creator has no son and no partner; he has a good faith and is considered as a believer and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise. 

—————————————————

Verse 19:35

QARIB:

It is not for Allah to take a son! Exaltations to Him! When He decrees a thing he only says: ‘be and it is.

SHAKIR:

It beseems not Allah that he should take to himself a! Son, glory to be him; when he has decreed a matter he only says to it “be,” and it is

PICKTHAL:

It befitteth not (the majesty of) Allah that he should take unto himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, he saith unto it only: be! and it is.

YUSUFALI:

It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, “be”, and it is.

In the previous article, Allah-fearing servants will see with joy their eventual dwelling that is the Eternal garden, the Paradise.

Now, the Paradise is not far anymore from them.

This is what they were promised in the life of the world.

 

The verse 50:34 says:

Then, It will be said to them ‘Enter it in peace!

That is to say, be secure from every fear.

Today, you do not have to fear from Allah’s chastisement

Today, you do not have to fear from hunger

Today, you do not have to fear from thirst

Today, you do not have to fear from any disease

Today, you do not have to fear from ageing

Today, you do not have to fear from death

Today is the day of immortality, the day when the dwellers of Paradise will enter it to abide therein for eternity.

Today, is the day of everlastingness in Paradise

 

O believers, O dwellers in Paradise! What do you want herein?

 

The verse 50:35 says:

 

Do you want food? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of food; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want soft drinks? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of drinks; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want servants to serve you? You will have whatever you wish of servants; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

Do you want amusements? You will have whatever you wish of any kind of amusements ; and with Allah there is yet more as extra for what you will request.

 

In conclusion:

There, in Paradise, the dwellers have all that they want, and there is more with Allah.

And it is said that this means: in every hour and in every day, they have with Allah an increase in honor and reward.

Regardless of all of that, the happiest and thrilled event in Paradise is beholding Allah’s Countenance; and this is another story.

I (the author) wish to be one of the attendances of this Cheeriest Event!
