Viking Posted July 12, 2006 This is a chapter in the Qur'an that asks those who deny Allah SWT questions. It challenges them with various things and when listenning to it one is left with no option but to nod in agreement. It asks of the non-believer... 57. It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth? 58. Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,- 59. Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? 60. We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated 61. from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not. 62. And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises? 63. See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? 64. Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause? 65. Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment, 66. (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing): 67. "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)" 68. See ye the water which ye drink? 69. Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We? 70. Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks? 71. See ye the Fire which ye kindle? 72. Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? 73. We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts. 74. Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme! Then follows a Mighty oath and an admonition to those who declare the Qur'an false... 75. Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,- 76. And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,- 77. That this is indeed a Qur'an Most Honourable, 78. In Book well-guarded, 79. Which none shall touch but those who are clean: 80. A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 81. Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem? 82. And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false? The denier is again challenged about his assumed might and independence from Allah SWT and is asked... 83. Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,- 84. And ye the while (sit) looking on,- 85. But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,- 86. Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,- 87. Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nur Posted July 14, 2006 Great read Viking! Isnt just amazing that the only patent on the creation of the universe and life is Allah's? no one else has claimed or dares to do so. When we ponder about the signs around us, they only lead to a single reality, that a superior intellect is behind the creation, and none can appreciate that better than scientists and artists, who find baffling the splendid fine touches of the creation and its sensitive and intricate balance. My thoughts about the following verses 8. Do ye then see?- The (human Seed( Sperms)) that ye throw out,- 59. Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? 60. We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated 61. from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not. 62. And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises? I was reading recently about stem cell research which may enable women to produce sperms of their own, if that attempt succeeeds, that verse will have special meaning in our time as it will show yet how predictive the Quran is about different forms of creation, and the originality of Allah's creation and mans tamperig with his original recipe of life to reap his own demise.

Arawella Posted July 14, 2006 Masha’A, I also2nd Nur that was a good read walaal. About the stem cell research, what is the long-term benefit if not to be another misused tool by feminist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
