Atheists in Quran (45) their arrogance: diagnosis and treatment

This article declare three important issues about the Atheists; they are 1) How they becomes arrogant? 2) How they express their arrogance? 3) The treatment of their arrogance

———————————

How they become arrogant?

Man habitually forgets the fact that he is a weak small creature and that whatever strength he may have does not originate from within himself, but from Allah, the source of all strength and power.

Forgetting his bond with Allah, man begins to swell and take on prides.

Arrogance, thus, begins to establish itself within the heart of human being.

On the other hand, man has an essential evident enemy, the Satan.

Satan’s job = to make man astray

Satan’s target = to lead man to hell

Satan, who doomed himself because of his arrogance, works on man to increase his arrogance knowing that through it he can bring man to deterioration.

How the Atheists express their arrogance?

The Atheist disputes Allah’s revelations even when they are clear, addressing human nature with the sort of argument that appeals to it.

The Atheist also claims to himself and others that he is only raising questions because he is not yet convinced.

However, Allah who knows the inner feelings and secret thoughts of all His creatures makes clear that all this is the result of man’s arrogance.

Such arrogance prompts man to argue and dispute Allah’s revelations over which there can be no dispute.

Such arrogance also drives man to aspire to what is beyond his status and what his nature cannot attain.

Yet he has no solid basis for such argument for it is rooted deeply in nothing but his own arrogance:

“As for those who dispute Allah’s revelations, with no authority granted to them, there is nothing in their hearts but a quest for a greatness they will never attain.” (Verse 56)

If only man would understand the truth about himself and the universe, recognizing his role and not trying to exceed it, appreciating

that he is one of countless creatures each doing their role by Allah’s will and according to His design which He alone knows, he would certainly feel relaxed, humble, living in peace with himself and with the world around him.

If man did this, he would easily and readily submit himself to Allah. He would also do this without any hesitation.

“Seek, then, refuge with Allah, for He is the One who hears all and sees all.” (Verse 56)

Seeking refuge with Allah against arrogance is indicative of how grisly it is.

The believers seek Allah’s refuge in order to escape what is ghastly, horrible and evil. Arrogance combines all these. Moreover, it is hard for the arrogant person and for those around him. It causes harm to the heart in which it stirs and to other people’s hearts.

Arrogance is an evil we should seek refuge with Allah from it.

Allah hears all and sees all.

Arrogance is manifested by visible action and/or audible words.

Therefore, it is left to Allah to decide upon it as He pleases.

Man is then told of his true position in this great universe: how small he is in comparison to some of Allah’s creatures, the great magnitude of which is readily visible and better appreciated on careful examination:

“The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of man; yet most people do not understand.” (Verse 57)

The heavens and the earth are there for man to see and to measure himself in relation to them. When he knows the reality of the proportions of distance, dimension, size and power, he reduces his pride, feels his smallness and almost disappears. He can only hold his own when he remembers the superior element Allah has granted him, and for which Allah has honored him.

A quick glance at the universe is sufficient to appreciate all this. The earth on which we live is merely a small satellite of the sun: its mass compared to the mass of the sun is no more than three to a million, while its size is one-millionth of the size of the sun. Yet the sun is only one of around billion suns our galaxy includes.

Man now knows that there are around billion such galaxies dispersed in the great expanse of the universe.

Still, what we have discovered of the universe is merely a small part; it is so great that we become dazed when we even try to imagine it. The distance between the sun and us is about 93 million miles. The sun is the head of the family of our planet earth, and most probably, the sun is the mother of the earth.

Therefore, the earth remains close to its mother, standing merely 93 million miles away from it!

The diameter of our galaxy = one hundred billion light years, with one light year measuring 5.8 billion miles, because light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second.

The closest galaxy to our own is around 750,000 light years away.

We may say again that these distances and dimensions are the best man’s little knowledge has determined.

Scientists acknowledge that all their discoveries cover only a small part of this great universe.

Allah says:

“The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of man; yet most people do not understand” (Verse 57) When we speak of Allah’s power and ability, the concepts of greater or smaller, harder or easier do not apply. He creates everything by a single word, ‘Be!’ The reference here is to how things appear in themselves and how people see and measure them. How does man compare to this great expanse of the universe?

How high can his arrogance take him in Allah’s great creation?

“The blind and the seeing are not equal; nor can those who believe and do good works and those who do evil be deemed equal.” (Verse 58)

The one who is able to see learns and understands, recognizing his station. He does not give himself prides, nor does he allow conceit to distort his judgment.

By contrast, a blind person cannot recognize his position in relation to his surroundings. Therefore, he misjudges his position and what is around him.

The same applies to those believers who do good works and those who do evil. The first group see things for what they are and form accurate ideas, while the other group misjudges all due to their blind ignorance. They harm themselves and others, and above all, they assign to themselves an erroneous position in relation to their environment.

They are blind, for true blindness is that of the mind:

“How seldom you reflect.” (Verse 58)

Had we reflected, we would have known. The whole thing is clear, needing only some reflection before it becomes very apparent.

If only we would remember the hereafter, be certain of its coming, reflect on our position then and recall how we will then stand

“The Last Hour is sure to come: of this there is no doubt. Yet most people will not believe.” (Verse 59)

Because they do not believe, they argue and give themselves prides; they do not submit to the truth and do not limit themselves to their rightful position.

The treatment of their arrogance

Addressing our worship to Allah, praying and appealing to Him, are all means to cure hearts of arrogance, which is the evil that leads people to dispute His revelations and signs without any clear evidence.

Allah opens the door for us to address and pray to Him. He tells us that He has committed Himself to respond to those who pray to Him, warning those who are too proud that they will suffer total humiliation:

“Your Lord says: Call on Me, and I shall answer you. Those who are too proud to worship Me shall enter hell humiliated.” (Verse 60)

Supplication and prayer must observe certain manners.

• Hearts must be totally dedicated to Allah,
• Be sure that He will answer our prayer.
• We must not suggest a particular form, time, or circumstance for answering it. To make such a suggestion is improper when appealing to Allah. We should be clear in our minds that it is a blessing that we address our prayers to Allah, and that His response is another blessing.

Those who are too proud to pray to Allah and appeal to Him deserve their just reward, which leads them to enter hell in total humiliation.

Such is the fitting end of the arrogance that fills some hearts in this small planet and short life, forgetting the greatness of Allah’s creation, let alone His own greatness. It is suitable requital for forgetting the Last Hour, which will inevitably come.

The verses 40:56-60 in different translations:

QARIB:

56- (As for) those who dispute the verses of Allah without authority having been given to them, there is nothing in their chests but pride; that, they shall never attain. therefore seek refuge in Allah, surely, he is the hearer, the seer.

57-Indeed, the creation of heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, yet most people do not know.

58-The blind and the seeing are not equal, nor are those who believe and do good works, and the wrongdoer yet you seldom reflect.

59-There is no doubt that the hour is coming, yet most people do not believe.

60-Your Lord has said: ‘call on me and i will answer you. those who are too proud to worship me shall enter gehenna utterly abject. ‘

SHAKIR:

56-Surely (as for) those who dispute about the communications of Allah without any authority that has come to them, there is naught in their breasts but (a desire) to become great which they shall never attain to; therefore seek refuge in Allah, surely he is the hearing, the seeing

57-Certainly, the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the men, but most people do not know

58-And the blind and the seeing are not alike, nor those who believe and do good and the evil-doer; little is it that you are mindful

59-Most surely, the hour is coming, there is no doubt therein, but most people do not believe

60-And your Lord says: call upon me, i will answer you; surely those who are too proud for my service shall soon enter hell abased

PICKTHAL:

56-Lo! Those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without a warrant having come unto them, there is naught else in their breasts save pride which they will never attain. So take thou refuge in Allah. lo! he, only he, is the hearer, the seer.

57-Assuredly, the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not.

58-And the blind man and the seer are not equal, neither are those who believe and do good works (equal with) the evil-doer. little do ye reflect!

59-Lo! The hour is surely coming, there is no doubt thereof; yet most of mankind believe not.

60-And your Lord hath said: pray unto me and i will hear your prayer. lo! those who scorn my service, they will enter hell, disgraced.

YUSUFALI:

56-Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: it is he who hears and sees (all things).

57-Assuredly, the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: yet most men understand not.

58-Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. little do ye learn by admonition!

59-The hour will certainly come: therein is no doubt: yet most men believe not.

60-And your Lord says: “call on me; i will answer your (prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve me will surely find themselves in hell – in humiliation!”

Atheists in Quran (44) successive questions for them

The Quran asks the Atheists and unbelievers many successive questions: Were they created out of nothing? Did they come into existence of themselves? Were they created without a Creator? Was it a mere chance that they came into being? Were they the creators? Did they create the heavens and the earth? Are the Treasures of the universe with them?

———————————

The verses 52:35-37 ask the Atheists and unbelievers many successive questions:

• Were they created out of nothing?
• Did they come into existence of themselves?
• Were they created without a Creator?
• Was it a mere chance that they came into being?
• Were they created as human beings out of nothing?
• Are they the creators of themselves?
• Are the Treasures of the universe with them?

It makes no sense for a created thing to have no creator

There must be a Creator of them, and that is Allah, the One, so why do they not affirm His Oneness and believe in His Messenger and His Book?

Was there not a wonderful seed, from which their material growth can be traced, as the handiwork of a wise and wonderful Creator?

Must they not then seek His Will?

Were they created for nothing, to no purpose?

If they were created for a purpose, must they not try to learn that purpose by understanding Allah’s Revelation?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth?

Nay, they have no firm belief.

Nor can any but Allah, the Creator, have created them, so why do they not worship Him?

They obviously did not create the wonders of the starry heavens and the fruitful globe of the earth.

But they can assign no definite cause to explain it, as they have no firm belief on the subject themselves.

Nay, but they are sure of nothing, they deny Muhammad and the Quran

Nay, but they are not certain, of Allah, for otherwise they would have believed in His Prophet Muhammad.

Or are the Treasures of your Lord with them,

The Treasures of Allah’s Knowledge are infinite.

But the Atheists and unbelievers have no access to them, much less can the Atheists and unbelievers manage the wonders of this world.

Must they not therefore seek grace and revelation from Allah?

Or do they possess the treasuries of Allah? in the way of:

• prophet hood,
• the stores of your Lord through rain, provision, vegetation
• Other matters,

So that they are able to assign what they will exclusively to whom they will?

Or are they the ones in control?

Or have they been given charge (thereof)?

Or are they the mighty ones who hold sway?

———————————

The questions in the verses 52:35-37 wonder at their own existence, a truth staring them in the face which they cannot explain in any way other than what the Quran states:

Allah, the Almighty Creator of all that exists has brought them into existence:

“Were they created out of nothing? Were they the creators?”

(Verse 35)

The thought that they just existed out of nothing is against the logic of nature.

It merits no argument.

On the other hand, neither they nor any other creature can claim that they created themselves.

As neither case can be logically entertained, there only remains the true case stated in the Quran, confirming that they are all creatures of Allah, the only Creator and Originator.

Since no one can claim any share of His attributes of creation and origination, then Lordship and Godhead belong solely to Him.

This is clear and true logic.

The verses then direct their attention to the heavens and the earth: are they the ones who created these?

Needless to say, the heavens and the earth did not create themselves, in the same way as humans do not do so:

“Did they create the heavens and the earth? No. They have no faith.” (Verse 36)

Neither they, nor anyone listening to the logic of nature, claim that the heavens and the earth created themselves or came into existence without being created.

Nor do those people claim that they created them.

Yet they stand in front of people like a question requiring an answer.

The verses then takes the Atheists and unbelievers a step lower than that of the creation of either themselves or the world around them.

The Quran asks them whether they own Allah’s treasures or have control of these to be able to cause benefit and harm:

“Do they possess your Lord’s treasures? Or are they in ultimate control?” (Verse 37)

If they make no such claim, then who owns these treasures and controls all things?

The Quran says that Allah is the One who gives in plenty or in small measure, and who determines all affairs in the universe.

This is the only explanation of what happens in the universe.

———————————

The verses 52:35-37 in different translations:

QARIB:

35- Or, were they created out of nothing? or, were they their own creators?

36- Or, did they create the heavens and the earth? no, their belief is not certain!

37- Or, are the treasures of your lord in their keeping? or, are they the controllers?

SHAKIR:

35- Or were they created without there being anything, or are they the creators?

36- Or did they create the heavens and the earth? nay! they have no certainty

37- Or have they the treasures of your lord with them? or have they been set in absolute authority?

PICKTHAL:

35- Or were they created out of naught? or are they the creators?

36- Or did they create the heavens and the earth? nay, but they are sure of nothing!

37- Or do they own the treasures of thy lord? or have they been given charge (thereof)?

YUSUFALI:

35- Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

36- Or did they create the heavens and the earth? nay, they have no firm belief.

37- Or are the treasures of thy lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)?

Atheists in Quran (43) when their Doubt Leads to Hell

In Surah 2, there is no doubt the Quran that it is Allah’s Book.

However, the Atheists and unbelievers are in doubt about it.

Well, if they are in doubt about the Quran, then produce only one Surah like it. If they do not do it, otherwise, this doubt will leads to the Eternal Hell in the Afterlife!

———————————

In the previous articles,

1. Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce a Quran like the one revealed and when they have failed,
2. Allah challenged them to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran.  When the entire Humankind have failed,
3. Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce only ONE Surah similar to the Quran.

In this article, Surah 2 (chapter 2) of the Noble Quran puts the end of this unique linguistic Challenge

Surah 2 begins with Allah’s affirmation that the Quran is His book without any doubt; in it, there is guidance unto those who ward off Hell. (Verse 2:2)

The Creator, Exalted be He, knows that some of his arrogant creature have doubt about the Quran.

Allah knows that the Atheists and unbelievers claim that Muhammad forged the Quran and they are in doubt about the Quran.

In the verses 2:23-24 we have this strict clear-cut plan that is followed by severe warning

1)    If you are in doubt about the Quran, then produce only one Surah like it

2)    Seek the help of the entire humankind to help you in your work

3)    If you do not do it, and in fact you WILL NEVER Ever DO IT, then guard yourselves against the Hell whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the Atheists and unbelievers.

Hence, the verse 2:23 put the end of the unique linguistic Challenge by stating that the Atheists + the unbelievers + humankind will never ever Challenge the Quran and they are unable to cope with the challenge and emulate even one Surah like it

The Atheists + the unbelievers + humankind cannot produce 15 Arabic words and produce a Surah like that present in the Quran!

This is the summary of the plan that is followed by severe warning

Now, let us discuss this risky issue calmly

 “This is the Book; there is no doubt about it a guidance unto those who ward off Hell.” (Verse 2)

The key words in this statement are:

• Doubt
• Guidance
• Hell

Guidance expresses the essence and the nature of the Quran.

But guidance for whom? Who are the people who will find that this Book provides them with light, direction and true counsel?

They are the Allah-fearing.

They fear Allah, submit, obey and Ward off Hell

Once a man’s heart is filled with the fear of Allah, he will benefit by the Quran. Fear and consciousness of Allah is the quality that opens one’s mind to the true guidance contained in the Quran and allows it to have its proper effect on one’s life.

Fear of Allah is the factor that causes one’s heart and mind to become sensitive and receptive to Allah’s guidance and enables one to respond to His call and His instruction.

Anyone seeking the benefit and Allahly wisdom of the Quran must approach it with an open mind and a pure heart. One must also approach it with perception and sensitivity, and with a determination not to fall by the wayside or be tempted away from Allah.

Then, and only then, will the marvels and treasures of the Quran be opened and revealed, and their light and wisdom will pour into this apprehensive, alert and welcoming heart.

Fear of Allah, then, is to have a sensitive conscience, clear feelings, a continuous concern, vigilance and alacrity, and a yearning for the correct path in life. It is a feeling that is ever alive, a feeling of being aware of life’s temptations and pitfalls; and the ambitions and hopes, and the worries and fears that come with it. It is a feeling of being able to discern false hopes and unwarranted fears that one associates with individuals or powers that could neither bring benefit nor cause harm.

A Divine Challenge

Allah puts a scientific plan for the Atheists and unbelievers

The Quran is challenging them all, as indeed it challenges humankind in general, saying:

“If you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce one Surah comparable to it and call upon all your witnesses, other than Allah, if what you say is true.” (Verse 23)

The challenge begins with emphasizing an important fact by describing the Prophet Muhammad as Allah’s ‘servant’. This description is significant in a number of ways: it is,

First, an honor to the Prophet himself and an indication that to be a ‘servant’ of Allah is the highest honor a human being can attain.

Second, it affirms the essence of servitude to Allah in the universal human context, calling on all men to submit only to Allah and renounce all partners that may be associated with Him.

The Prophet Muhammad, who attained the highest position of honor as a recipient of Allah’s Revelations, is also honored by being described as a servant of Allah.

The challenge = If they were in any doubt, they were free to produce anything, even one Surah, comparable to it, and they could seek the help of the entire humankind.

This challenge remained open throughout the Prophet’s life, and has done so ever since. The Quranic argument stands just as firmly today as it has through the centuries.

Thus, Allah’s words, and His warning, remain true:

“But if you fail, as you will certainly do, then guard yourselves against the fire, fuelled by men and stones, prepared for the unbelievers.” (Verse 24)

It is a remarkable challenge indeed, but what is even more remarkable is the absolute certainty with which it is made. Were any of the unbelieving Arabs able to take up the challenge, they would not have hesitated for a moment. The Quranic assertion of the futility of their task, and the endurance of that assertion, are in themselves manifest and irrefutable proof of its superior nature.

The opportunity remains wide open for anyone or any group to pick up the gauntlet and try their best to match the Quran and refute its claims of divinity and superiority.

However, this has not happened and, as the Quran clearly states, will never happen. That is the Quran’s final word for posterity.

Anyone with any real knowledge or appreciation of literary styles, or expertise in philosophy, psychology, social science, or any other science at all, will not fail to recognize that whatever the Quran has to say in any field of knowledge is something unique, unlike anything human beings would say. Argument over this fact can only arise from blind ignorance or sheer prejudice.

The stern warning to “guard yourselves against the fire, fuelled by men and stones” comes as no surprise to those who may fail in their challenge to Allah but persist, nevertheless, with their rejection of the truth.

The use of the word ‘stones’ here is fascinating.

This fire is prepared for the Atheists and unbelievers.

They are the ones who have failed to take up Allah’s challenge, and persisted, nevertheless, in their rejection of His message.

They are stone like, although they have a human form. Hence the connection between humans and stones in this verse. The expression amply conveys the horror of the awesome scene in which people and stones are both:

• The fuel of the Fire
• Consumed by Fire

Miserably, this is the doubt that leads to the Eternal Hell in the Afterlife!

———————————

The verse 2:2 in different translations:

QARIB:

That is the (holy) book, where there is no doubt. it is a guidance for the cautious (of evil and hell).

SHAKIR:

This book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil)

PICKTHAL:

This is the scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).

YUSUFALI:

This is the book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;

———————————

The verses 2:23-24 in different translations:

QARIB:

23- If you are in doubt of what we have sent down to our worshiper (prophet muhammad), produce a chapter comparable to it. call upon your helpers, other than Allah, to assist you, if you are true.

24- But if you fail, as you are sure to fail, then guard yourselves against the fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the unbelievers.

SHAKIR:

23- And if you are in doubt as to that which we have revealed to our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful

24- But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers

PICKTHAL:

23- And if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.

24- And if ye do it not – and ye can never do it – then guard yourselves against the fire prepared for disbelievers, whose fuel is of men and stones.

YUSUFALI:

23- And if ye are in doubt as to what we have revealed from time to time to our servant, then produce a sura like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.

24- But if ye cannot- and of a surety ye cannot- then fear the fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject faith.

Atheists in Quran (42) Eighth Wonder or great Miracle

The Atheists and unbelievers claim that Muhammad forged the Quran. Do you accept that an Arabic illiterate man challenged many generations of the entire Humankind and knock them out and still He does? If you accept that, then you have to honor Muhammad because He achieved the Eighth Wonders of the World.

———————————

In the previous articles,

1. Allah challenged the entire Humankind to produce a Quran like the one revealed and when they have failed,
2. Allah challenged them to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran.  When the entire Humankind have failed,
3. Allah challenged the entire Humankind to produce only ONE Surah similar to the Quran.

No book on the face of Earth save the Quran contains such a gradually decreasing order of this unique Challenge.

Has anyone ever heard about a book that challenges the entire humankind to produce it or ten chapters like it or even one chapter like it? Nay! Only the Quran does.

To Whom It May Concern, one Surah (chapter) of the Quran may contain 15 Arabic words.

It is really one of the great wonder that has two opposing PERMANENT

1)    The PERMANENT challenge that aged more than 1400 years

2)    The PERMANENT inability of the entire human beings to cope with it.

Think about how many generations after generations proved their inability to cope with it.

Let us think together peacefully.

Allah declares that the Quran is His book

The Atheists and unbelievers claim that Muhammad forged the Quran.

Well, Muhammad is an Arabic illiterate man who existed more than 1400 years ago.

Do you accept that an Arabic illiterate man challenges many generations of the entire Humankind and knock them out?

Rationality, none will accept that.

However, if you accept that, then you have to honor Muhammad; we know that there are Seven Wonders of the World; Is this the Eighth Wonder?

Contrariwise, if the Quran is really the Book of Allah and Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce a Surah like it (just 15 Arabic words); then there must be an essential pillar for this Permanent challenge.

Essential pillar for the challenge

If the Quran is man-made, then man can produce a Surah like it.

If the Quran is fabricated, then man can fabricate a Surah like it.

If the Quran is neither man-made nor fabricated and it is Allah’s Book but it happened at any time through the last 1400 years that the Quran suffers:

• Corruption,
• Change,
• Substitution,
• Distortion,
• Additions,
• Omissions

In this case, the challenge will be beatable and man can produce a Surah like it.

Hence, for the challenge to be unbeatable, Allah is preserving the Quran.

Preservation of the Quran

Allah promised that He would preserve the Quran

“It is We Ourselves who have bestowed this reminder from on high, and it is We who shall preserve it intact.” (Verse 15:9)

When we look today, after the passage of many centuries, at the fulfilment of Allah’s promise to preserve the Quran, we see a great miracle testifying to the fact that it is Allah’s book.

We see that the circumstances and situations that the Quran has endured over the centuries could not have left it intact, suffering no change of even

• A single Surah,
• A single verse,
• A single sentence,
• A single word, or
• A single letter

Could this happen without the interference of the superior power?

That power, which is greater than all situations, keeping it pure from any change or distortion.

It is the power of Allah, your Almighty Creator.

At the time of the Prophet Muhammad, this promise to preserve the Quran intact sounded a mere promise. Today, however, after all these great events and long centuries, it is indeed a great miracle confirming the indisputable fact that the Quran is but Allah’s book. No one disputes this fact except a stubborn, ignorant fool.

“It is We Ourselves who have bestowed this reminder from on high, and it is We who shall preserve it intact.” (Verse 9)

The purity of the text of the Quran through fourteen centuries is a token of the eternal care with which Allah’s Truth is guarded through all ages.

All corruptions, inventions, and accretions pass away, but Allah’s pure and holy Truth will never suffer eclipse even though the whole world mocked at it and were bent on destroying it.

Do you know that there is only one Arabic Quran all over the world; the Quran in Africa = the Quran in Europe = The Quran in America = the Quran in Asia without any change of even one word!

Do you know that a kid of 6-10 years old can recite by heart the entire Quran without looking at it; and this is one of the methods Allah is preserving His Book.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkYp0bqS6hc

Furthermore, in the verse 15:9, Allah names the Quran “Reminder”

The Quran reminds you with your Creator, your outcome in the Afterlife etc.

How you acknowledge all of that?

By comparing all of the above features of the Quran with the Bible’s features.

———————————

The verse 15:9 in different translations:

QARIB:

It is We who sent down the Koran, and We watch over it.

SHAKIR:

Surely, we have revealed the reminder and we will most surely be its guardian

PICKTHAL:

Lo! We, even we, reveal the reminder, and lo! We verily are its guardian.

YUSUFALI:

We have, without doubt, sent down the message; and we will assuredly guard it (from corruption).

Atheists in Quran (41) come here if you are honest

In the previous two articles, Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce a Quran like the one revealed and when they have failed Allah challenged them to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran.  When the entire Humankind have failed, Allah is challenging them in this article to produce only ONE Surah similar to the Quran.

However, this intellectual Linguistic challenge has never ever met.

The smart reader may acknowledge such a scientifically gradually decreasingorder of this unique Challenge

———————————

In the previous article (Atheists in Quran -39- a Linguistic Challenge for them), Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce a Quran like the one revealed and when they have failed Allah challenged them to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran (See the article Atheists in Quran -40- the Challenge they could not cope with).  When the entire Humankind have failed to produce ten Surah similar to the Quran, Allah is challenging them, in this article, to produce only ONE Surah similar to the Quran

However, this intellectual Linguistic challenge has never ever met.

The smart reader may acknowledge such a scientifically gradually decreasing order of this unique Challenge.

In the verses 10:37-38 we have Allah’s testimony that

• Muhammad has not forged the Quran
• The Quran is Allah’s message to humankind

However, the prideful Atheists and unbelievers claim that the Quran is an invented book.

Well, are they sure? Are they trustful?

Allah put for them a simple method to prove that they are trustful and honest in their claim.

What is this simple method?

Produce, then, one Surah like it.

However, what if they cannot?

Can they seek help of friends and resources?

Yes, they can seek the help and resources of the entire Humankind.

Cannot they beat this very simple challenge?

It is impossible to achieve this target; they and the entire Humankind cannot produce one Surah.

Then what? Then before they claim that Muhammad has invented the Quran they have to show us one Surah like it or

Or what?

Or, they are untruthful and dishonest

The verses 10:37-38 say:

“This Quran could not have been devised by anyone other than Allah. It is a confirmation of [revelations] that went before it, and a full explanation of Allah’s Book, about which there is no doubt. It certainly comes from the Lord of the entire worlds. If they say: He (Muhammad) has invented it,’ say: ‘Produce, then, one Surah like it, and call for help on all you can other than Allah, if what you say is true.’

“This Quran could not have been devised by anyone other than Allah.” Why? Because the Quran has many features like for example:

• Such unique characteristics of topic and expression; such perfection of order and harmony;
• Such completeness of the faith it preaches and the enigma for human life it lays down;
• Such a thorough concept of the nature of 1) Godhead, 2) the life of this world (and the Afterlife), 3) human beings, 4) the universe, 5) etc. Such a thorough concept of the nature of all of that could never have been designed by anyone other than Allah.

Only Allah is able to combine all this, because He is the One who knows:

• The beginnings of all things
• The ends of all things
• The apparent and the hidden.

No one else can devise a system that is perfect, free of shortcomings and based on perfect knowledge.

In addition, the Quran confirms all the revelations and Scriptures given to earlier messengers. It confirms the original faith outlined by those messages and the good things they advocated. It is the same Book, outlining the same message preached by all messengers; that is = there is no god save Allah

It is the Book about which there is no doubt.

It certainly comes from the Lord of the entire worlds..

This is an assertion that the Quran could never have been fabricated or attributed falsely to Allah.

It is indeed a revelation by ‘the Lord of all the worlds.’

Having stated the truth about the Quran, the verses speaks of a certain possibility

The possibility that Muhammad has invented the Quran

If they say that Muhammad has invented the Quran, let them then mobilize their resources and invent a single Surah like it, if they can.

“Say: ‘Produce, then, one Surah like it, and call for help on all you can besides Allah, if what you say is true.’“

Herein, we have two PERMANENT issues:

• First, the challenge, and
• Second, their inability to cope with it

The challenge is permanent, as is their inability to meet it. It continues for the rest of time and no one will ever be able to meet it. Anyone who appreciates the strength, beauty and artistic expression of the Arabic language will recognize that the Quranic style is unique, and that no human being could produce anything similar to it. So will those who study human social systems and legal principles. If they study the system laid down in the Quran, they will realize that its approach to the organization of the human community is unique.

It is not merely the incomparability of the Quranic style and mode of expression; instead the absolutely miraculous nature of the Quran is easily recognized by experts in diverse disciplines such as language, society, law, psychology, sciences, embryology, Medicine, etc.

No wonder then that many Rabbi and Priests and the top scientists have embraced Islam just upon reading few verses of the Quran.

The verses 10:37-38 in different translations:

QARIB:

37-This Koran could not have been forged by other than Allah. it confirms what was before it; a distinguishing book, in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of all the worlds.

38-Do they say: ‘he has forged it’. say: ‘compose one chapter like it, and call upon whom you will, other than Allah (to help you), if what you say is true! ‘

SHAKIR:

37-And this Quran is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds

38-Or do they say: he has forged it? say: then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful

PICKTHAL:

37-And this Qur’an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind – therein is no doubt – from the Lord of the worlds.

38-Or say they: he hath invented it? say: then bring a Surah like unto it, and call (for help) on all ye can besides Allah, if ye are truthful.

YUSUFALI:

37-This Qur’an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the book – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the worlds.

38-Or do they say, “he forged it”? say: “bring then a sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!”

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

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 (39) a Linguistic Challenge for them

The Quran is one of Allah’s works that human beings cannot emulate.

In this article, Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce the like of the Quran

———————————

Allah’s works are countless

Herein are few examples of Allah’s works

• The Quran is one of Allah’s works.
• The Universe is one of Allah’s works.
• The stars-system is one of Allah’s works.
• The Solar system is one of Allah’s works.
• Human being is one of Allah’s works.
• The Plants’ system is one of Allah’s works.
• The Microbiological world is one of Allah’s works.
• Etc.

No human beings can emulate Allah’s works.

Human beings cannot produce anything similar to Allah’s works, even if they were to muster all their powers in a single effort to achieve this task.

The Quran is one of Allah’s works that human beings cannot emulate.

In this article, Allah challenges the entire Humankind to produce the like of the Quran

This intellectual Linguistic challenge is unique.

This unique challenge is for not only the Atheists nor it is for Humankind only but it is for both Humankind and the entire world of Jinn.

Indeed, neither human beings nor jinn, representing the visible and invisible types of creation, can produce anything similar to the Quran, even if they were to muster all their powers in a single effort to achieve this mission.

The verse 17:8 says:

“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If all mankind and the jinn were to gather together for the purpose of producing the like of this Quran, they would not produce anything like it, even though they helped one another as best they could.’”

The meanings of the verse 17:8:

Verily, should humankind and jinn come together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed and assisted one another

Say O Muhammad to the Atheists:

Verily, though humankind and the jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Quran they could not produce the like thereof though they were helpers one of another.

The Quran is not mere words and expressions that humans and jinn can emulate.

Indeed the inability of all human beings and jinn to produce anything similar to it includes also their inability to produce any system that encompasses all the areas it tackles.

This illustrates the enormous differences between Allah’s Works and Man’s works.

It may be fruitful to ask this question:

What have the Orientalists done about this Linguistic challenge?

Many Western Countries sent many thousands of Orientalists to many of the Islamic countries to study the Quran and Islam

The Western Countries spent a lot of money for this mission.

Most of the Orientalists were priest’s especially catholic priests.

The Orientalists spoke and read Arabic Language very well even better than the native Arabic people; they published thousands of Arabic books that attack the Quran and Islam!

However, some of the Orientalists embraced Islam.

The questions now are:

• What have they done with this Linguistic challenge?
• Have they told you about this challenge?
• Are they linguistically disabled?
• Etc.

However, the Orientalists might have been disabled because the Quran is composed of 114 Surah (Chapter); however, what about ten Surah?

See the next article.

———————————

The verse 17:8 in different translations:

QARIB:

say: ‘if mankind and jinn combined together to produce the like of this Koran, they would never be able to produce one like it, not even if they were to help one another. ‘

SHAKIR:

Say: if men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others

PICKTHAL:

Say: verily, though mankind and the jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof though they were helpers one of another.

YUSUFALI:

Say: “if the whole of mankind and jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.

Atheists in Quran (38) a Biology Challenge for them

In this article, the Quran challenges, with a great BiologicalChallenge, not only the Atheists but also the entire Humankind on the face of the Earth. Moreover, since the challenge is not yet accepted, the Quran tells the Atheists and disbelievers: you have no right to be proud since you are as weak as flies.

———————————

The Quran is the first book on the face of Earth that challenges the Entire Humankind with a great Scientific Contest that is valid until now and shamefully none accepted it.

How ScientificallyDeficit are Human beings?

The verse 22:73 makes an influential, universal declaration that all the deities, which people worship and appeal for help are weak and powerless. The Quran presents an active and fascinating scene to illustrate their weakness:

O Humankind. An aphorism is set forth; hearken, then, Listen to it.

“Those beings whom you invoke instead of Allah cannot create a fly, even though they were to join all their forces to that end. If a fly robs them of anything, they cannot rescue it from the fly! Weak indeed is the seeker, and weak the sought!” (Verse 73)

The address herein is universal, it includes everyone anywhere in the world, and the declaration is loud and clear: “Humankind!”

When people gathered to listen, they are told that they are about to be given a statement of a general principle, not a particular case applicable on a certain occasion.

“An aphorism is set forth; hearken, then, listen to it.”

It is a statement of addressing fact that is applied in all situations

“Those beings whom you invoke instead of Allah cannot create a fly, even though they were to join all their forces to that end.”

All false deities, whether they be

• Idols
• Statues,
• Human beings,
• Traditions,
• Values,
• Animals
• Sun
• Moon
• Planets
• Stars
• Desire as in case of Atheists,
• Ego as in case of Atheists,
• Etc.

All false deities, to whom you appeal for support and with whom you seek to achieve satisfaction, victory and high esteem, are incapable of creating a fly, even if they:

• Muster all their forces,
• Utilize all their knowledge and machines and
• Conduit all their resources into one supreme effort.

In general, creation of living creature is impossible for anyone other than Allah.

Indeed, the creation of a mere fly, that small and abject creature, challenges all the harnessed powers of such false gods.

Creating a fly is just as impossible as creating a camel or an elephant, because the fly also demonstrates the great secret of life.

Hence, the Quran places a fly on the same level as camels and elephants, with regard to its miraculous creation.

The Quranic aphorism, however, cites the case of a little, insignificant fly in order to generate a more profound feeling of powerlessness.

The verse adds another dimension in describing their powerlessness:

“If a fly robs them of anything, they cannot rescue it from him!”

False deities, be they idols, humans or Ego cannot retrieve anything from a fly when it robs them of it. Flies can rob people of that which is precious indeed. At the same time, a fly carries microbes of some very serious diseases, such as tuberculosis, typhoid, dysentery and conjunctivitis. It can deprive a person of his eyes or other organs, or indeed deprive him of his life.

A weak and contemptible fly can rob a human being of what he can never retrieve.

Here again you realize how the Quran uses Scientific facts in the most effective way.

This effective image affirming a clear aphorism concludes with a simple comment:

“Weak indeed is the seeker, and weak the sought!”

This comment further emphasizes the effects generated by the verse as a whole.

At this moment when we realize how weak and contemptible these false deities are, the verse 22:74 condemns the unbelievers for their defective concept of Allah, clearly stating Allah’s power:

“No true understanding of Allah have they. Allah is certainly Most Powerful, Almighty.”

• They do not esteem Allah with the esteem He deserves
• They do not magnify Allah, as He deserves to be magnified
• No one knows His measure save He.
• No one can recognize Him as is worthy of Him save He

How could they understand Allah, as He really is, when they associate with Him such powerless deities that cannot even create a fly?

What understanding of Allah have they, when they see His highly sophisticated creation and yet they consider as equal to Him beings that cannot create even a little fly?

They even invoke such powerless creatures which cannot retrieve anything flies take away from them, instead of invoking Allah.

This is a damning comment at a point that should arouse feelings of submission to Allah alone.

Now, why Allah choose a fly not a camel in this Scientific Challenge?

The Arabs used a fly to express ignorance; they used to say in their parables, “this is more ignorant than a fly”

Therefore, this Scientific Challenge told the Atheists among the Arabs “do not be more ignorant than a fly.

Nevertheless, this Scientific Challenge is still valid for not only the Atheists but for the entire Humankind on the face of the Earth.

———————————

The verses 22:73-74 in different translations:

QARIB:

73- People, this is a parable, listen to it. Those whom you call upon, other than Allah, could never create a fly, though they banded together to do this. And if a fly robs them of anything, they could never rescue it from it. The seeker and the sought are alike in their weakness.

74- They do not value Allah as he should be valued. For Allah is powerful and mighty.

SHAKIR:

73- O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from i weak are the invoker and the invoked

74- They have not estimated Allah with the estimation that i due to him; most surely, Allah is strong, mighty

PICKTHAL:

73- O mankind! a similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: lo! Those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. so weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

74- They measure not Allah his rightful measure. lo! Allah is strong, almighty.

YUSUFALI:

73- O men! Here is a parable set forth! Listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!

74- No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is he who is strong and able to carry out his will.

Atheists in Quran (37) password to log in Paradise

This article discusses the following issues: 1) the friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow, 2) the Atheists gave nasty names to the Prophet Muhammad, 3) The ever-best word that all the messengers and prophets from Noah to Jesus have said and 4) What is man’s password to log in Paradise.

———————————

In Surah 37, the verses 27-32 describe a dramatic scene that will happen to the friends among the Atheists today.

In conclusion, the verses say that:

The friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow

The verses say that the Atheists today are notable prideful leaders and their careless followers. Both groups are very friendly in the life of this world.

Nevertheless, how they are on the Day of Judgment when they behold the truth that they used to deny in this life?

Would be still friends?

No

The careless foolish followers among the Atheists will blame the notable prideful leaders as being the cause of their astray and loss!

Then, what the notable prideful leaders say to them?

They will say:

Both you and we are in the same position, deserving of Allah’s punishment for not heeding the warnings. You joined us because of your propensity to follow error. We did nothing to you; instead, you followed us in our error.

Then, what Allah promised both of them?

The verses 37:33-39 say:

They on that day, the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, will share in the chastisement, for they shared in the error. Both are sharers in the doom.

Lo! Thus, Allah deal with the sinners

We chastise both of them the followers and those who were followed (the leaders).

For when it was said unto them in the life of the world, say: “There is no God save Allah”, they were:

Scornful

Too proud to say it

Not only that, but they would say, ‘Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?

Herein they, sarcastically give names to the Prophet Muhammad as a mad poet

Shall we leave the worship of our gods (idols, pride, ego etc.) for a mad poet who invents lies?

Herein they, mockingly give another names to the Prophet Muhammad as an inventor of lies and claiming that the Quran is but lies!

Allah, exalted be He, says:

Nay, but he (Muhammad) has brought them the truth and confirmed the earlier messengers, namely, those who had also brought this truth, which is that “There is no God save Allah”

Nay, but he (Muhammad) brought the Quran and the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness, and he confirmed those sent before him and he brought a confirmation of the messengers who were sent before him.

Then what?

Allah will tell both of them on the Day of Judgment:

You shall certainly taste the painful chastisement,

Lo! Now, verily you taste the painful doom in the Eternal Fire.

Herein, in the Hereafter, Allah requites you the requital for,

What you used to believe in.

What you used to do

What you used to say

Our belief, works and sayings in this life determine our outcome in the Afterlife.

———————————

Back to the principle word of the Religion

“There is no God save Allah”

It is required that every human being has to believe and say this word.

This is the ever-best word that you can utter in this life

This word = man’s password to log in Allah’s gate

The Prophet Muhammad said:

The ever-best word I said, and the ever-best word all the messengers and prophets before me have said is “There is no God save Allah”

The entire Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Moses and Jesus said, “There is no God save Allah” and so did the last Prophet Muhammad.

In Hadith (Muhammad’ sayings):

If you put the entire universe in a pan of a balance, and you put in the other pan “There is no God save Allah”, then:

What would be the weightier?

The pan contains “There is no God save Allah” is the weightier

Be sure that without saying this word “There is no God save Allah”, man will never ever see Paradise and he is but loser!

This is a sincere gift to the smart readers.

———————————

The verses 37:33-39 in different translations:

QARIB:

33-Therefore, on that day they will all share our punishment.

34-As such we shall deal with the evildoers.

35-For when it was said to them: ‘there is no god except Allah, ‘ they were always proud

36-And said: ‘are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet? ‘

37-No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the messengers.

38-You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:

39-But you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.

SHAKIR:

33-So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another

34-Surely thus do we deal with the guilty

35-Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: there is no god but Allah;

36-And to say: what! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37-Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the messengers

38-Most surely you will taste the painful punishment

39-And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did

PICKTHAL:

33-Then lo! This day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

34-Lo! Thus deal we with the guilty.

35-For when it was said unto them, there is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

36-And said: shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

37-Nay, but he brought the truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

38-Lo! (Now) verily ye taste the painful doom –

39-Ye are requited naught save what ye did –

YUSUFALI:

33-Truly, that day, they will (all) share in the penalty.

34-Verily that is how we shall deal with sinners.

35-For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with pride,

36-And say: “what! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a poet possessed?”

37-Nay! he has come with the (very) truth, and he confirms (the message of) the messengers (before him).

38-Ye shall indeed taste of the grievous penalty;-

39-But it will be no more than the retribution of (the evil) that ye have wrought;-

Atheists in Quran (36) are they Winners or Losers

The Atheists have lost the understanding that makes their lives on earth consistent and harmonious with the life of the universe. They are the losers in the Hereafter; Eternal severe Punishment is awaiting for them.

———————————

In short, the Verses 39:62-63 says:

1. Allah is the Creator of all things
2. Allah is Guardian over all things, disposing of them as He will.
3. All things come from Allah
4. Allah is responsible for the provision of all creatures; Allah is a Witness over all things relating to their works.
5. To Allah belong the keys of the heavens and the earth,

In other words, the keys to their storehouses of rain and vegetation and other things belong to Allah.

As for Atheists, those who disbelieve in:

• The signs of Allah in His creation
• The Quran, Allah’s Book,
• The Prophet Muhammad who conveyed the revelations of Allah

Those Atheists are the big losers in the Hereafter; Eternal severe Punishment is awaiting for them.

———————————

The short but essential memos mean:

Allah is the Creator of everything, and of all things, He is the Guardian. His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. Those who deny Allah’s revelations will surely be the losers.

Everything in the universe confirms this truth.

No one can ever claim to create anything. No intelligible being can claim that this universe came into existence without a creator, when everything in it testifies to elaborate planning and a clear purpose behind creation. Nothing in it, from the very small to the very large, is left to chance:

“Of all things He is the Guardian.”

Allah control the heavens and the earth; He conducts their affairs the way He chooses. They operate in agreement with the system He put in place for them.

The big losers:

The Atheists have lost the understanding that makes their lives on earth consistent and harmonious with the life of the universe.

The Atheists have lost the comfort of divine guidance, the beauty of faith, the reassurance of belief and the sweetness of certainty.

On the Day of Judgment, they will lose their own souls and their families. Hence, the term ‘losers’ applies to them in all its shades and connotations.

———————————

The verses 39:62-63 in different translations:

QARIB:

62-Allah is the creator of all things, and of all things, he is the guardian.

63-To him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. Those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah they are the losers.

SHAKIR:

62-Allah is the creator of everything and he has charge over every thing

63-His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; and (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of Allah, these it is that are the losers

PICKTHAL:

62-Allah is creator of all things, and he is guardian over all things.

63-His are the keys of the heavens and the earth, and they who disbelieve the revelations of Allah – such are they who are the losers.

YUSUFALI:

62-Allah is the creator of all things, and he is the guardian and disposer of all affairs.

63-To him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the signs of Allah,- it is they who will be in loss.
