2:20. The lightning nearly snatches their sight, whenever it lights the path they walk in it, and when it becomes dark for them they stand. Had Allah willed, He would have taken their hearing and their sight; Allah is capable of all things.
[Absaarahum = Their sight = Their vision = Their sight and insight.
Those who defy reason, eventually lose their perceptual and conceptual faculties.
Allah is the Powerful Designer of His laws and He has supreme control over all things.
*He has prescribed laws for every thing and event in the Universe. And He does not infringe upon these laws even though He is Able to do so.
2:201:And some of them say: "Our Lord, give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and spare us from the retribution of the Fire."
6:96:Initiator of the morning and Maker of the night to reside in; and the sun and the moon for counting.They become means of calculating time for you (10:5). Such is the Design of the All-Powerful, the Knower.
7:182:And those who deny Our revelations, We lead them step by step to ruin from directions they do not know.
10:5: He is the One Who appointed the sun as a splendid glow, and the moon as a cool light. He appointed stages for the moon, in due measure. You make your calculations and calendars accordingly. Allah has created the Universe as the absolute reality and for a purpose. Allah explains His verses for those who wish to learn.
11:15: Whoever cares for the short term gains and glitter of the worldly life, We shall repay for them their deeds herein without the least reduction. [17:18]
13:8: Allah knows what every female bears, and what every womb releases or gains. Everything has a due measure with Him.
14:16: From behind him is Hell, and he will be poured from a putrid water.
17:18:Those who desire only the quick gains of this life, We readily grant them from it according to Our laws, to those whom We will. In the end, We have appointed for them Hell. They will endure its heat, condemned and rejected.
25:2: The One to whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and He did not take a son, and He does not have any partner in kingship. And He created everything and measured it precisely.
29:54:They hasten you for the retribution; while Hell surrounds the rejecters.
30:24: And among His signs is this: He displays before you the lightning, for a fear and for hope, and sends down water from the height, giving life to the earth after it had been lifeless. Herein are signs for people who use their intellect.
36:38: And the sun runs to a specific destination, such is the design of the Noble, the Knowledgeable.
42:20: Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase for him his harvest. And whoever seeks the harvest of this world, We will give him therefrom, and he will have no share in the Hereafter.
54:49:We have created all things in due measure and proportion
65:3:And He will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who puts his trust in Allah, then He suffices him. The commands of Allah will be done. Allah has decreed for everything its fate.
79:36:And the Insurmountable Barrier will stand before him to see.
87:3:And the One who measured and then guided.
Those who reject the Divine messages and rely solely on their intellect do not realize that revelation is to the human intellect what sunlight is to the human eye. It takes them out of darkness into light.
2:257: Allah is the Protecting Friend of those who choose to have conviction in Him and His laws. He brings them out of darkness into Light (through the Qur’an). And those who reject the truth, their patrons are false authorities (idols, religious leaders and satanic humans). They bring them from light to darkness. As a consequence, they have chosen fire to be their companion. They will abide therein.]
2:21 O people, serve your Rabb who has created you and those before you that you may be righteous.
[7:172. When your Rabb brought forth generations in succession from the Children of Adam, and made them bear witness, “Am I not your Rabb?” They said, “Yes, we bear witness.” Thus you cannot say on the Resurrection Day, “We were not aware of this.”
Min Zuhoorihim = From their posterity = In succession = Their seed = One generation following another. The uninterrupted survival of mankind is a telling witness for them that there is an Almighty Rabb Who nourishes the universe.]
2:22 The One who has made the earth a resting place, and over it like a canopy, and He sent down from the sky water with which He brought out fruits as a gift to you. So do not set up any equals with Allah while you know.
[Indeed, there are ample signs in the creation of the heavens and earth, the alternation of the night and the day, the ships that roam the ocean for the benefit of mankind, the water that Allah sends down from the heights, thereby giving life to the land after it had been lifeless, in dispersing a great variety of creatures therein, in the currents of winds and the clouds made subservient between the high atmosphere and the earth. All these are clear signs for those who use their intellect.
Einstein correctly pointed out, “The Universe is too organized to be the result of an accident.” See 6:73. Sama = Sky = Heaven = Atmosphere = Canopy = Height. 35:27]
2:23 And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then bring a chapter like this, and call upon your witnesses other than Allah if you are truthful.
[Bring some chapters of comparable merit that even come close to it in magnificence, eloquence, grandeur and wisdom.* *10:38. Or, do they say, “He has invented it”? Tell them, "Bring one Surah like this and call for help everyone you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.”
11:13. Or they assert, “He has forged it.” Say to them, "Then bring Ten Surahs like this, forged, and call on whomever you can other than Allah - if you are truthful!"
17:88.Say, “If all mankind, in towns and villages, get together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they will not be able to produce the like of it, no matter how much help they give one another."]
2:24 And if you cannot do this; and you will not be able to do this; then beware the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, it has been prepared for the rejecters.
[This fire is generated in and engulfs the hearts.
2:74. Then your hearts became hardened after that, they became like stone or even harder; but even from stone there are rivers that burst forth, and from them are those that crack so that the water comes forth, and from them are what descends from concern towards Allah; and Allah is not unaware of what you do.
9:110. Their buildings that they built continue to cause doubt in their hearts, until their hearts are severed. And Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.
66:6.O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones. Guarding it are stern and powerful angels who do not disobey Allah in what He commanded them; and they carry out what they are commanded to.
104:6. The kindled Fire of Allah.
Hajar = Stone = Rock = A stone-hearted person = Elite leadership = An apparently tough, prominent man = The hard or high segment of a hill]
2:25 And give good news to those who believe and do good works that they will have estates with rivers flowing beneath them. Every time they receive a provision of its fruit, they say: "This is what we have been provisioned before," and they are given its likeness. And there they will have pure mates, and in it they will abide.
[This Paradise is not given away as charity. It has to be built in this life and then inherited. It has been described in the Qur’an allegorically and it is not confined to one particular place. It encompasses the entire Universe and is a logical consequence of living upright and contributing to the well-being of humanity.
3:133: And race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the width of the heavens and of the earth; it has been prepared for the righteous.
13:35. Theexample of the Paradise which the righteous are promised, is that rivers flow beneath it, and its provisions are continuous as is its shade. Such is the abode of those who were righteous, while the abode of the rejecters is the Fire.
14:24. Have you not seen how Allah puts forth the example that a good word is like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in the sky.
24:55. Allah promises those among you who believe and do good works, that He will make them successors on the earth, as He made successors of those before them, and He will enable for them their system which He has approved for them, and He will substitute security for them in place of fear: "That they serve Me, not setting up anything with Me." And as for those who reject after that, these are the wicked.
32:17. No person knows what is being hidden for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do.
39:74. And they said: "Praise be to Allah has fulfilled His promise to us, and He made us inherit the land, enjoying the Paradise as we please. What a beautiful recompense for the workers!"
47:15. Is the example of the Paradise; that the righteous have been promised with rivers of pure water, and rivers of milk whose taste does not change, and rivers of alcohol that are delicious for the drinkers, and rivers of strained honey, and for them in it are all kinds of fruits, and a forgiveness from their Lord; like that of those who abide in the Fire, and are given to drink boiling water that cuts-up their intestines?
57:21. You shall race towards forgiveness from your Rabb, and a Paradise whose width is as the width of the heaven and the earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. Such is the grace of Allah that He bestows upon whoever He wills. Allah is the Possessor of Infinite Grace.
76:5.As for the pious, they will drink from a cup with the scent of musk.
76:17.And they are given to drink in it from a cup which has the scent of ginger.]
