[3:61]: This is the truth from thy Lord, so be thou not of those who doubt.

THQ10: ALLAH on Idol-Worshipers

[16:21] And those on whom they call beside Allah, create not anything, but they are themselves created.

‘Yet they have taken Gods beside Him; Gods who create nothing but are themselves created, and who have no power to harm or benefit themselves, nor have they any power over death or life or Resurrection.’ (25:4)

[20:90] Could they not see that it returned to them no answer, and had no power to do them either harm or good?

[46:5] Say, ‘Do you know what it is you call on beside Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth. Or have they a share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me a Bookrevealed before this or some vestige of knowledge in your support, if you indeed speak the truth.’

‘Call on those whom you think to be gods beside Him; then you will know that they have no power to remove affliction from you nor to change your condition.’ (Ch.17: V.57)

[46:6] And who is more astray than those who, instead of Allah, pray unto such as will not answer them till the Day of Resurrection, and they are not even aware of their prayer?

[16:74] And they worship beside Allah such as have no power to bestow on them any gift from the heavens or the earth, nor can they ever have such power.

And when it is said to them, ‘What do you think of that which ‘your lord’ has sent down? They say, ‘O they are mere stories of the ancients.’ [16:24]

…‘Verily you have taken for yourselves idols beside Allah, out of love for each other in the present life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny each other, and curse each other. And your abode will be the Fire; and you will have no helpers.’ [29:26]

And the Qur’an adds to it:

[37:70] They indeed found their fathers erring,
[37:71] And they hurried on in their footsteps.
[37:72] And most of the ancient peoples had erred before them,
[37:73] And We had sent Warners among them.
[37:74] Behold, then, how evil was the end of those who were warned,
So the fate of those who do wrong shall surely be like the fate, of their fellows of old; [51:60]

Woe to those who disbelieve [In Allah]. [51:61]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[10:29] And remember the day when We shall gather them all together, then shall We say to those who ascribed partners to God, “Stand back in your places, you and your ‘partners’”. Then We shall separate them widely, one from another, and their ‘partners’ will say: ‘It was not us that you worshipped.

[10:35] Say, ‘Is there any of your associate-gods who originates creation and then reproduces it?’ Say, ‘It is Allah alone Who originates creation and then reproduces it. Whither then are you turned away?’

[10:36] Say, ‘Is there any of your associate- gods who leads to the truth?’ Say, ‘It is Allah Who leads to the truth. Is then He Who leads to the truth more worthy to be followed or he who finds not the way himself unless he be guided? What, then, is the matter with you? How judge ye?’

[11:110] So be not in doubt concerning that which these people worship. They only worship as their fathers worshipped before, and We shall surely pay them in full their portion undiminished.

[11:120] Save those on whom thy Lord has had mercy, and for this has He created them. But the word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: ‘Verily, I will fill Hell with the disobedient Jinn and men all together.’

[12:41] ‘You worship nothing beside Allah, but mere names that you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has sent down no authority for that. The decision rests with Allah alone. He has commanded that you shall not worship anything save Him. That is the right religion, but most men know it not.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[14:31] And they have set up rivals to Allah to mislead people from His way. Say, ‘Enjoy yourselves a while, then, surely, your journey is toward the Fire.’

[21:99] ‘Surely, you and that which you worship beside Allah are the fuel of Hell. To it you will all come.’

[46:7] And when mankind are raised up after death, the false deities will be the enemies of their worshippers, and will deny their worship.

[16:105] As for those who do not believe in the Signs of Allah, surely, Allah will not guide them, and they shall have a grievous punishment.

16:120[16:120] Then surely, thy Lord — to those who do evil in ignorance and repent thereafter and make amends — aye, surely, after that thy Lord is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

—

The Idol-Worshipers say:

[16:36] Those who set up equals to God say: ‘If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped anything beside Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor should we have forbidden anything without command from Him.’ So did those who were before them. But are the Messengers responsible for anything except the plain delivery of the Message?

[16:52] Allah has said, ‘Take not for worship two gods. There is only One God. So fear Me alone.’

[16:62] And if Allah were to punish men for their wrongdoing, He would not leave thereon a living creature, but He gives them respite till an appointed term; and when their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single hour, nor can they go ahead of it.

[17:23] Set not up with Allah another God lest thou sit down disgraced and forsaken.

[17:37] And follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart — all these shall be called to account.

[17:39] The evil of all these is hateful in the sight of thy Lord.

—

Qur’an records the discussion of past idol-worshipers:

[39:65] ‘Is it other gods than Allah that you bid me worship, O ye ignorant ones?’

[39:66] And verily it has been revealed to thee as unto those before thee: ‘If thou attribute partners to God, thy work shall surely go vain and thou shalt certainly be of the losers.’

[39:67] Aye, worship Allah and be thou among the grateful.

[71:24] “And they say to one another, ‘Forsake not your gods under any circumstances.

[71:25] “And they have led many astray; so increase Thou not the wrongdoers but in error.”

[71:26] Because of their sins they were drowned and made to enter Fire. And they found no helpers for themselves against Allah.

[72:21] Say, ‘I pray to my Lord only, and I associate no one with Him.’

[72:24] ‘My responsibility is only to convey what is revealed to me from Allah, and His Messages.’ And for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger there is the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide for a long, long period.

[85:11] Those who persecute the believing men and the believing women and then repent not, for them is surely the punishment of Hell, and for them is the torment of heart-burning.

—

Allah says to the disbelievers:

[10:67] Behold! Whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth is Allah’s. Those who call on others than Allah do not really follow these ‘partners’; they follow only a conjecture, and they do nothing but guess.

[10:37] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Surely, conjecture avails nothing against truth. Verily, Allah is well aware of what they do.

[12:107] And most of them believe not in Allah without at the same time attributing partners to Him.

[86:16] Surely they plan a plan,

[86:17] And I also plan a plan.

[86:18] So give time to the disbelievers. Aye, respite them for a little while.

[42:32] And you cannot frustrate God’s plan in the earth;

—

A past conversation recorded in Qur’an between and Idolater and a believer:

[46:23] They said, ‘Hast thou come to us to turn us away from our gods? Bring us then that with which thou dost threaten us, if indeed thou art of the truthful.’

[46:24] He said, ‘The knowledge thereof is only with Allah. And I convey to you what I have been sent with, but I see you to be a very ignorant people.’

[46:25] Then, when they saw the punishment coming towards their valleys as a cloud, they said, ‘This is a cloud which will give us rain.’ ‘Nay, but it is that which you sought to hasten — a wind wherein is a grievous punishment.

[46:26] ‘It will destroy everything by the command of its Lord.’ By morning there was nothing to be seen, except their dwellings. Thus do We requite the guilty people.

[46:27] And We had established them in what We have established you not; and We gave them ears and eyes and hearts. But their ears and their eyes and their hearts availed them naught since they denied the Signs of Allah; and that at which they used to mock encompassed them.

[46:28] And certainly We did destroy townships round about you; and We have explained our Signs in various ways, that they might turn to Us.

[46:29] Why, then, did not those help them whom they had taken for gods beside Allah that they might bring them near to Him? Nay, they were lost to them. That was the consequence of their lie, and of what they fabricated.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I say:

[46:32] ‘O our people, respond to Allah’s Summoner and believe in Him. He will forgive you your sins, and protect you from a painful punishment.

[46:33] ‘And whoso does not respond to Allah’s Summoner, he cannot escape Him in the earth, nor can he have any protector beside Him. Such are in manifest error.’

[10:17] Say, ‘If Allah had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I have indeed lived among you a whole lifetime before this. Will you not then understand?’

[48:14] And as for those who believe not in Allah and His Messenger — We have surely prepared for the disbelievers a blazing fire.

[52:8] The punishment of thy Lord shall certainly come to pass;

[52:9] There is none that can avert it.

[52:10] On the day when the heaven will be in a state of terrific commotion,

[52:11] And the mountains will move, with terrible moving,

[52:12] Then woe that day to those who reject the truth,

[52:13] Who sportingly indulge in idle talk.

[52:14] The day when they shall be thrust into the fire of Hell with a violent thrust.

[52:15] ‘This is the Fire which you treated as a lie.
[52:16] ‘Is this then magic, or do you still not see?

[52:17] ‘Burn ye therein; and whether you show patience or you show it not, it will be the same for you. You are requited only for what you used to do.’

[52:18] Verily, the righteous are in Gardens and in bliss,

[52:19] Enjoying what their Lord has bestowed on them; and their Lord has saved them from the torment of the Fire.

—

The disbelievers doubt the Holiness of this Mighty Qur’an… Allah addresses them:

[52:33] Do their intellect and reason enjoin this upon them or are they a rebellious people?

[52:34] Do they say, ‘He has fabricated it?’ Nay, but they would not believe.

[52:35] Let them, then, produce a discourse like this, if they speak the truth!

[52:36] Have they been created without a purpose, or are they themselves the creators?

[52:37] Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no faith in the creator.

[52:43] Do they intend to devise a plot? But it is those who disbelieve that will be caught in the plot.

[52:44] Have they a God other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above all that which they associate with Him!

[52:45] And if they should see a piece of the cloud falling down, they would say, ‘Clouds piled up.’

[52:46] So leave them until they meet that day of theirs, on which they will be overtaken by a thunderbolt,

[52:47] The day when their plotting will not avail them aught, nor shall they be helped.

[52:48] And verily, for those who do wrong there is a punishment besides that. But most of them know not.

[52:49] So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord; for assuredly thou art before Our eyes; and glorify thy Lord with His praise when thou risest up from sleep;

[52:50] And for part of the night also do thou glorify Him and at the setting of the stars.

[61:10] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it.

[77:47] ‘Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while in this world, O rejectors of truth; surely you are the guilty ones.’

[98:7] Verily, those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and the idolaters will be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein. They are the worst of creatures.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[10:95] And if thou art in doubt concerning that which We have sent down to thee, ask those who have been reading the Book before thee. Indeed the truth has come to thee from thy Lord; be not, therefore, of those who doubt.

[10:96] And be not thou of those who reject the Signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of the losers.

[10:97] Surely, those against whom the word of thy Lord has taken effect will not believe,

[10:98] Even if there come to them every Sign, till they see the grievous punishment.

[9:33] He [Allah] it is Who sent His Messenger [Mohammad (saw)] with guidance [The Holy Qur’an] and the religion of truth [Islam], that He may make it prevail over every other religion, even though the idolaters may dislike it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Holy Qur’an speaks of the Idolaters:

[25:18] And the day when He will assemble them and those whom they worship beside Allah, He will ask, ‘Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves stray away from the path?’

[25:19] They will say, ‘Holy art Thou! It was not proper for us to take protectors other than Thee; but Thou didst bestow on them and their fathers the good things of this life until they forgot the admonition and became a ruined people.’

[25:20] Then We shall say to the idolaters: ‘Now have they given you the lie regarding what you said, so you cannot avert the punishment or get help.’ And whosoever among you does wrong, We shall make him taste a grievous punishment.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Holy Quran Challenges the idolaters

‘Call on those whom you think to be gods beside Him; then you will know that they have no power to remove affliction from you nor to change your condition.’ (Ch.17: V.57)

[16:28] Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and will say, “Where are My ‘partners’ for whose sake you used to oppose the Prophets?” Those endowed with knowledge will say, ‘This day disgrace and affliction will surely fall on the disbelievers,’

[16:34] What do they wait for except that the angels should come upon them or that the decree of thy Lord should come to pass? So did those who were before them. Allah did not wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

[16:35] So the evil result of what they did befell them, and that which they used to mock at encompassed them.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[16:53] And to Him [Allah] belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth and to Him is due obedience for ever. Will you then fear any other than Allah?

[16:56] …Well, enjoy yourselves a little; but soon will you know.

[16:57] And they set apart for the false deities of which they know nothing a portion of that which We have bestowed on them. By Allah, you shall certainly be called to account for all that you have forged.

[16:58] And they ascribe daughters to Allah — Holy is He! — while they themselves have what they desire.

[16:84] They recognize the favour of Allah, yet they deny it; and most of them are confirmed disbelievers.

[16:85] And remember the day when We shall raise up a witness from every people, then those who disbelieve shall not be permitted to make amends, nor shall they be allowed to solicit God’s favour.

[16:86] And when those who did wrong actually see the punishment, it will not be made light for them, nor will they be granted respite.

[16:87] And when those who associate partners with God will see their associate-gods, they will say, ‘Our Lord, these are our associate-gods whom we used to call upon instead of Thee.’ Thereupon, they will retort on them with the words, ‘Surely, you are liars.’

[16:88] And they will offer submission to Allah on that day, and all that they used to forge shall fail them.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[17:57] Say, ‘Call on those whom you think to be gods beside Him; then you will know that they have no power to remove affliction from you or to avert it.

[17:69] Do you then feel secure that He will not cause you to sink in the side of the land or send against you a violent sandstorm and then you will find no guardian for yourselves?

[17:70] Or, do you feel secure that He will not send you back therein a second time, and then send against you as a storm-blast, and drown you because of your disbelief? You will then find therein no helper for yourselves against Us.

[17:91] And they say, ‘We will never believe thee until thou cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth;

[17:93] ‘Or thou cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as thou hast claimed, or thou bring Allah and the angels before us face to face;

[17:95] And nothing has prevented men from believing when the guidance came to them save that they said, ‘Has Allah sent a man as a Messenger?’

[17:97] Say, ‘Sufficient is Allah for a Witness between me and you; surely, He knows and sees His servants full well.’

[17:98] And he whom Allah guides, is the only one rightly guided; but as for those whom He allows to perish, thou wilt find for them no helpers beside Him. And on the Day of Resurrection We shall gather them together on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf. Their abode will be Hell; every time it abates, We shall increase for them the flame.

[17:99] That is their recompense, because they rejected Our Signs…

[11:9] And if We put off their punishment until a reckoned time, they would certainly say, ‘What withholds it?’ Now surely, on the day that it shall come unto them, it shall not be averted from them, and that which they used to mock at shall encompass them.

—

[2:29-30] How can you disbelieve in Allah? When you were without life, He gave you life, and then He will cause you to die, then restore you to life, and then to Him shall you be made to return. He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth; then He turned towards the heavens, and He perfected them as seven heavens; and He knows all things.

[11:102] And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves; and their gods on whom they called beside Allah were of no avail to them at all when the command of thy Lord came; and they added to them naught but perdition.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Idol Worshippers:

[43:22] Have We given them a Scripture before this, so that they are holding fast to it?

[43:23] Nay, they say, ‘We found our fathers following a certain course, and we are guided by their footsteps.’

[43:24] And thus has it always been that We never sent any Warner before thee to any township but the evil leaders thereof said: ‘We found our fathers following a certain course, and we are following in their footsteps.’

[43:31] But when the truth came to them they said, ‘This is magic, and we do reject it.’

[43:46] And ask those of Our Messengers whom We sent before thee, ‘Did We appoint any deities beside the Gracious God, to be worshipped?’

[34:23] Say, ‘Call upon those whom you assert to be gods beside Allah. They control not even the weight of an atom in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor has He any helper among them.’

[34:28] Say, ‘Show me those whom you have joined with Him as partners. Nay! You cannot do so, for He is Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.’

[34:32] And those who disbelieve say, ‘We will never believe in this Qur’an, nor in what is before it;’ and couldst thou see when the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back on one another the blame. Those who were considered weak will say to those who were proud, ‘Had it not been for you, we should surely have been believers.’

[34:33] Those who were proud will say to those who were considered weak, ‘Was it we that kept you away from the guidance, after it had come to you? Nay, it was you yourselves who were guilty.’

[34:34] And those who were considered weak will say to those who were proud, ‘Nay, but it was your scheming night and day, when you bade us disbelieve in Allah and set up equals unto Him.’ And they will conceal their remorse when they see the punishment; and We shall put chains round the necks of those who disbelieved. They will not be requited but for what they did.

[34:44] And when Our manifest Signs are recited to them, they say, ‘This is but a man who seeks to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped.’ And they say, ‘This is but a forged lie.’ And those who disbelieve say about the truth when it comes to them, ‘This is nothing but clear magic.’

[35:41] Say, ‘Have you seen your associate- gods whom you call on beside Allah? Show me then what they have created of the earth. Or have they a share in the creation of the heavens? Or have We given them a Book so that they have an evidence therefrom?’ Nay, the wrongdoers promise one another nothing but deception.

Few disbelievers also worship the Sun, whereas…

[35:14] He [Allah] merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And He has pressed into service the sun and the moon; each one runs its course to an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the kingdom, and those whom you call upon beside Allah own not even a whit.

[31:30] Hast thou not seen that Allah makes the night pass into the day, and makes the day pass into the night, and He has pressed the sun and the moon into service; each pursuing its course till an appointed term, and that Allah is well aware of what you do?

[31:31] That is because it is Allah alone Who is the True God, and whatever they call upon beside Him is falsehood, and because it is Allah alone Who is the Most High, the Incomparably Great.

[36:6] This is a revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful,

[36:7] That thou mayest warn a people whose fathers were not warned, and so they are heedless.

[36:8] Surely the word has proved true against most of them, for they believe not.

[36:9] We have put round their necks, chains reaching unto the chins, so that their heads are forced up.

Shackles of customs, usages and prejudices, by which disbelievers are fettered and which prevent them from accepting the truth and smother all efforts at reform… Even when a person tries to use his intelligence and to get away from the stranglehold of customs, etc., he is under pressure from various quarters, and he can scarcely see aright.

On account of the barriers of usages, prejudices and pride the disbelievers could not have looked forward to the great and bright future which lay before them if they accepted Islam, and they did not look back to the histories of past peoples who rejected the truth and were seized with Divine Punishment.

[36:75] And they have taken other gods beside Allah, that they might be helped.

[36:76] But they are not able to help them, on the contrary they will be brought before God in a body to bear witness against them.

The story of Prophet Abraham & Idol Worshipers of his time (Matches ours :))

[26:70] And recite unto them the story of Abraham.
[26:71] When he said to his father and his people, ‘What do you worship?’

[26:72] They said, ‘We worship idols, and we continue to be devoted to them.’

[26:73] He said, ‘Can they listen to you when you call on them?
[26:74] ‘Or do you good or harm you?’

[26:75] They said, ‘Nay, but we found our fathers doing likewise.’

[26:92] And Hell shall be opened to those who have gone astray.

[26:93] And it will be said to them, ‘Where is that which you worshipped
[26:94] ‘Beside Allah? Can they help you or get help for themselves?’

[26:95] Then will they be thrown headlong therein, they and those who have gone astray,

[26:97] They will say, whilst they dispute between themselves therein:

[26:98] ‘By Allah, we were in manifest error,

[26:103] ‘Would that there were for us a return to the world, that we might be among the believers!’

[26:104] In this, verily, there is a Sign, but most of these would not believe.

[26:214] Call not, therefore, on any other God beside Allah, lest thou become one of those who are punished.

[28:68] But as for him who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, maybe he will be among the prosperous.

[29:18] ‘You only worship idols beside Allah, and you forge a lie. Those whom you worship beside Allah have no power to provide sustenance for you. Then seek sustenance from Allah, and worship Him, and be grateful to Him. Unto Him will you be brought back.

[29:19] ‘And if you reject, then generations before you also rejected. And the Messenger is only responsible for the clear conveying of the Message.

33: 74. The consequence is that ALLAH will punish hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women; and ALLAH turns in Mercy to believing men and believing women; and ALLAH is Most forgiving Merciful.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[13:34] …Yet, they ascribe partners to Allah. Say, ‘Name them.’ Would you inform Him of what He does not know in the earth? Or, is it a mere empty saying? Nay, but the design of the disbelievers has been made to appear beautiful in their eyes, and they have been kept back from the right way. And he whom Allah lets go astray shall have no guide.

[21:99] ‘Surely, you and that which you worship beside Allah are the fuel of Hell. To it you will all come.’

[13:12] …Surely, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts. And when Allah wishes to punish a people, there is no repelling it, nor have they any helper beside Him.

[11:102] And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves; and their gods on whom they called beside Allah were of no avail to them at all when the command of thy Lord came; and they added to them naught but perdition.

[11:103] Such is the grasp of thy Lord when He seizes the cities while they are doing wrong. Surely, His grasp is grievous and severe.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Allah says to the Idol Worshipers:

O ye who believe! Turn to Allah (the one God) in sincere repentance. It may be that your Lord will remove the evil consequences of your deeds and make you enter Gardens through which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet nor those who have believed with him. (Chapter 66, Verse 9)

39:18: And those who eschew the worship of false gods and turn to ALLAH – for them is glad tidings. So give good tidings to MY servants.

39:19: Who listen to the Word and follow the best thereof. It is they whom ALLAH has guided, and it is they who are really endowed with understanding.

‘I will inflict My punishment on whom I will; but my mercy encompasses all things’. (Ch.7: V.157)

And He is Merciful to the believers. (Ch.33: V.44)

Dear Reader: Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah
May God help you my dear with His special help in understanding these divine concepts, Ameen

Say, “I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

A Noteworthy Note:

[9:34] O ye who believe! Surely, many of the priests and monks devour the wealth of men by false means and turn men away from the way of Allah. And those who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah — give to them the tidings of a painful punishment,

[9:35] On the day when it shall be made hot in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded therewith and it shall be said to them: ‘This is what you treasured up for yourselves; so now taste what you used to treasure up.’ 

Surely, those who have believed……. –whoso believe in Allah (God) and the last Day, and does righteous deeds – on them shall come no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Quran, Al’Maidah, Ch.5:V.70)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I Understand…

Men are generally slaves to old usages, traditions and customs. Time-worn ideas and prejudices die hard. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the way of acceptance of truth by the people, as repeatedly mentioned in the Qur’an, is their strong disinclination to accept new ideas.

Shackles of customs, usages and prejudices, by which disbelievers/idolaters are fettered and which prevent them from accepting the truth and smother all efforts at reform… Even when a person tries to use his intelligence and to get away from the stranglehold of customs, etc., he is under pressure from various quarters, and he can scarcely see aright.

On account of the barriers of usages, prejudices and pride the disbelievers could not have looked forward to the great and bright future which lay before them if they accepted Islam, and they did not look back to the histories of past peoples who rejected the truth and were seized with Divine Punishment.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And I pray to the Lord for you:

[40:8] …‘Our Lord, Thou dost comprehend all things in Thy mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Thy way; and protect them from the punishment of Hell. 

[40:9] ‘And make them, our Lord, enter the Gardens of Eternity which Thou hast promised them, as well as such of their fathers and their wives and their children as are virtuous. Surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise. 

May peace, mercy and blessings of God be with you, always.

A Final Word Of Warning to the Idolaters

‘Proofs have indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever sees, it is for his own good; and whoever becomes blind (ignores it, rejects it), it is to his own loss. And I am not a guardian over you.’ (Ch6:V105)

‘He (God) has no partner…’ (Ch6:V164)

‘… And if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death…. …This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace because of that which you spoke against God falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’ (Ch6:V94)

‘O company of men! Did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves who related to you My Signs and who warned you of the meeting of this your day?’(Ch6:V131)

‘The messengers are sent because thy Lord would not destroy the towns unjustly while their people were unwarned.’ (Ch6:V132)

[17:16] He who follows the right way follows it only for the good of his own soul: and he who goes astray, goes astray only to his own loss. And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another. We never punish until We have sent a Messenger.

[18:30] And say, ‘It is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will, believe, and let him who will, disbelieve.’ Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose flaming canopy shall enclose them. And if they cry for help, they will be helped with water like molten lead which will burn the faces. How dreadful the drink, and how evil is the Fire as a resting place!

QURAN ON DELIVERY OF THE HOLY MESSAGE (QURAN) TO THE WHOLE OF MANKIND

41:34. And who is better in speech than he who invites men to Allah and does righteous deeds and says, `I am, surely, of those who submit?’

16:126. Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation and argue with them in a way that is best. Surely, thy Lord knows best who has strayed from HIS way; and HE also knows those who are rightly guided.

16:129. Verily, ALLAH is with those who are righteous and those who do good.

Dear reader,

Assalamalaikum Warahmatullah-e-Wabarakatuhu (Peace be on you and the mercy and blessings of Allah)

‘… I do not say to you: ‘I possess the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen; nor do I say to you: ‘I am an angel; I follow only that which is revealed to me….’ (Ch.6:V51)

‘… so whoever follows guidance, follows it for the good of his own soul; and as to him who goes astray, say, I’m am only a warner’. [27:93]

‘ … I am not a guardian over you.’ (Ch.6:V.67) ‘I am only a plain warner.’ (Ch. 26:V. 116)

‘… All praise belongs to Allah; He will soon show you His signs, and you will know them.’… [27:94]

May God help you my dear with His special help in understanding these divine concepts, Ameen

Our Motto is: ‘Love for all, Hatred for None’

P.S.: This work is done entirely for the pleasure of Allah, who says (in the Holy Qur’an, Aal-e-`Imran: 105), “And let there be among you a few who should invite (humanity) towards goodness.”

Introducing ‘Truth’ to the world: [3:61] This is the truth from thy Lord, so be thou not of those who doubt.

For those who are checking the verses of Quran from this message, please subtract 1 from all verse count stated, as I count ‘Bismillah’ occurring before the start of every Surah (Chapter) as the first aayat (verse) of every Surah so my number will be +1 to yours.

Reason being… God, in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 20:18-19, had said to Moses (pbuh) that: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

So it clearly meant that all whatever is recorded in the Quran are God’s words and not Mohammad (pbuh)’s! And so all the chapters in The Holy Quran start with ‘In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful’ or ‘Bismillah-Hir-Rahman-Nir-Raheem’ except Surah 9 Al’Tauba (alone) which doesn’t start with it ONLY because is not a separate Surah in-itself but a part of Surah Al’Anfal.

Ahmadi Muslims believe that ‘Bismillah… Raheem’ is the first verse of each surah, and we believe (and this is true), that Bismillah was revealed with each Surah like other verses and so it is the start of each Surah, that is why we count Bismillah as verse number One while the other Muslim unfortunately don’t.

Spread light, spread this message and all details as much as you can and to as many as you ever can, in as many languages as you can, in all the ways you can… Because there are many out there who are on the wrong path. All of us have to turn to the almighty, the only one Lord of the worlds. And remember: The ink of scholar is more valuable than blood of martyr.

Even God says in the Qur’an-e-Kareem:

[9:122] …Why, then, does not a party from every section of them [believers] go forth that they may become well versed in religion, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may guard against evil?

All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds

Say, “La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah” meaning “There is none worthy of worship but Allah, Muhammad [peace be upon him] is the messenger of Allah.”
