CHAPTER 2 SURAH BAQRAH 26 - 30

 2:26 Allah does not shy away from putting forth the example of a mosquito, or anything above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Rabb. As for the rejecters, they say: "What does Rabb intend with this example?" He strays many by it, and He guides many by it; but He only strays by it the wicked.

[Faasiqoon singular, Faasiq = Those who drift away = Who slip out of discipline = Those who cross the bounds of what is right = Fruit whose seed slips out = Egg yolk that drops out of its shell = One who transgresses Divine laws and thus becomes vulnerable to desires and extrinsic challenge.

3:81 And Allah took a covenant from the prophets: "For what I have given you of the Book and wisdom, then a messenger will come to you authenticating what is with you. You will believe in him and support him." He said: "Do you testify, and agree to this burden?" They said: "We testify." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you bearing witness."

5:3.Forbidden to you is that which is already dead, and the blood, and flesh (meat) of the swine, and what was dedicated to other than Allah, and that which has been strangled, and that which has been beaten to death, and that which has fallen from a height, and that which has been gored, and that which the wild animals have eaten from except what you managed to rescue, and what has been slaughtered on altars, and what you divide through arrows of chance. This is vile. Today the rejecters have given up from your system, so do not be concerned by them, but be concerned by Me. Today I have perfected your system for you, and completed My blessings upon you, and I have approved submission as the system for you. So, whoever is forced by severe hunger and not seeking sin, then Allah is oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

5:47.Let the People of the injeel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever fails to judge or rule by what Allah has revealed, are drifters from the right path (‘Faasiqoon’).

5:108.This is best as they are more likely to bring the testimony as intended, or face that their oaths would be disregarded as the previous oaths. And be aware of God, and listen; God does not guide who drift away from the truth.

6:121. Do not eat anything (not just meat) on which Allah name has not been mentioned, for that will be drifting away from what is right. Satanic people inspire their friends to dispute with you. If you were to obey them, you would be idolaters.(2:173, 5:3, 6:145. Fisq =Drifting away=Disobedience. Mentioning the name of God draws our attention to Him as the Almighty Provider and Rabb. Mushrikoon = Idolaters = Pagans = Those who ascribe divinity besides Allah = Those who prefer human ‘authorities’ or clergy over revelation = Who ‘worship’ their own desires.)

7:102. And in most of them We found no bond with their honored stature of humanity (17:70). And We found that most of them slipped away from the Permanent Values.

9:24. Say, “If your parents, your children, and your siblings, and your spouses, and your tribe, and the wealth you have acquired, and the business in which you fear a decline, and the houses you love, are dearer to you than God and His Messenger and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah brings His command to pass.” Allah does not guide those who drift away from Divine laws.

9:80. It does not matter if you ask forgiveness for them, or not, Allah will not forgive them even if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness. They have rejected Allah and His Messenger. Allah does not guide people that choose to drift away from the right path.

24:4. Those who accuse chaste women and then fail to produce four witnesses carry out eighty lashes to such accusers. And never in the future accept their testimony. They have drifted away from morality.

24:55. Allah has promised that those of you who will believe in the Divine laws and strengthen human resources, He will make them rulers on earth, as He granted rule to the previous nations. He will certainly establish for them the System of Life that He has approved for them, and will replace their fear with peace and security. All this because they obey Me alone. They ascribe no partner to Me. But all those who, after this, deny these laws will drift out.

59:19.And be not like those who forgot Allah, and therefore, He made them forget themselves. It is they who have drifted away.]


2:27 The ones who break the pledge to Allah after making its covenant, and they sever what Allah had ordered to be delivered, and they make corruption on the earth; these are the losers.

[9:33-34. He is the One who has sent His messenger with the guidance and the system of truth, so that it will expose all other systems, even if the polytheists hate it.

O you who believe, many of the Priests and Monks consume the money of the people in falsehood, and they repel from the path of Allah. And those who hoard gold and silver, and do not spend it in the cause of Allah, give them news of a painful retribution.

9:111.Allah  has purchased from the believers their very lives and their wealth, that they will have the Paradise; they fight in the cause of Allah so they kill and are killed; a promise that is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel, and the Qur'an. And whoever fulfills this pledge with Allah, then have good news of the pledge which you are concluded with. Such is the great triumph.

10:19.The people were but one nation, then they differed. And had it not been for a previous command from your Lord, the matter would have been immediately judged between them for what they differed.

13:20-24. Those who fulfill the pledge of Allah, and they do not break the covenant.

And those who deliver what Allah has ordered to be delivered, and they are concerned towards their Rabb and they fear a terrible reckoning.

And those who are patient seeking the face of their Rabb; and they hold the contact salat, and they spend from what We have bestowed upon them secretly and openly, and they counter evil with good; these will have an excellent abode.

They will enter the Gardens of Eden, along with all who are righteous, of their parents, spouses and children. Angels will greet them at every gate.

"Peace be upon you for what you have been patient for. Excellent indeed is the final abode."

31:28. Your creation and your resurrection is all like that of one soul. God is Hearer, Seer.

83:6.The Day the people will stand before the Rabb of the worlds.

114:1. Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of the people,"]


2:28 How can you reject Allah when you were dead and He brought you to life? Then He makes you die, then He brings you to life, then to Him you return.

[Two lives and deaths

 37:58.Are we then not going to die?.

40:11.They will say: "Our Rabb, You have made us die twice, and You have given us life twice. Now we have confessed our sins. Is there any way out of this state?"

44:56. They do not taste death again after the first death. Thus will He save them from getting stuck at the retribution of Hell]


2:29. He is the One Who has created for you whatever is on earth – all of it. And He has applied His Design to the sky and fashioned it in several ascending heights. He is the Supreme Knower of what all things are destined to be.

[11:7. He is the One who has created the heavens and the earth in six epochs(ayyamin), and His Throne was upon the water; so as to test who from among you works the best. And when you say: "You will be resurrected after the death," those who have rejected say: "This is but clear magic!"

53:31. And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. He will reward those who do evil according to their works. And He will give excellent reward to those who do good to others.

 57:1. Glorifying Allah is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Noble, the Wise.

Saba' indicates seven or several. Thinking of the earth’s atmosphere, 

3:191. Standing, sitting, and reclining, they reflect upon the wonders of creation in the skies and earth, saying, "Our Rabb! You have not created all this without purpose. Glory to You! Save us, then, from the doom of the fire.”

7:185. Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that Allah has created? Perhaps their time is drawing near; In what Hadith after this (Quran)one are they going to believe them?

17:36. Do not reach conclusions about that of which you have no knowledge.Surely, the hearing, the sight and the faculty of reasoning – all of them – will be questioned.*

88:17. Will they not look at the camels, how were they created?]


2:30. Your Rabb announced His Plan to the angels, “I am about to place on earth a new creation that will have supremacy over it.” They exclaimed, “Will you place on it such creation as will cause disorder therein and shed blood!- Whereas we strive to manifest Your glory!

”He answered, “I know what you do not know.”

[ Allah had programmed the angels Allah forces in nature with specific tasks that express the Divine will. He created humans through the process of evolution and granted them the ability to make free choices. They may choose to follow Divine Guidance or deviate from it.

33:72. We have offered the trust to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were fearful of it. But man accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.

The "angels" were not even remotely aware of any will other than Allah.

The Qur’an metaphorically portrays the immense responsibility given to humans in the story of Adam.

Free will may be likened to the breathing into humans from the Divine Energy.

15:28.And your Rabb said to the angels: "I am creating a human being from hardened clay of aged mud."."

16:49.And to Allah prostrate all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, from the creatures and the angels, and they are not arrogant.

6:2. He is the One who has created you from clay, then He decreed a period of time for you; a time only known by Him. Yet you still deny.

7:189. He is the One who has created you from one person, and He made from it its mate to reside with. When he dwelled with her, she became pregnant with a light load, and she continued with it; then when it became heavy, they called on Allah, their Rabb: "If You give us an upright child, then we will be among the thankful."

15:26. And We have created man from a sludge from hot sediment.

22:5. O people, if you are in doubt as to the resurrection, then We have created you from dust, then from a seed, then from an embryo, then from a fetus developed and undeveloped so that We make it clear to you. And We settle in the wombs what We wish to an appointed time, then We bring you out a child, then you reach your maturity, and of you are those who will pass away, and of you are those who are sent to an old age where he will not be able to learn any new knowledge after what he already has. And you see the land still, but when We send down the water to it, it vibrates and grows, and it brings forth of every lovely pair.

23:12.And We have created man from an extract from clay.

25:54. And He is the One who has created from the water a human being, so He made him multiply and mate. And your Rabb is Capable.

32:7. The One who perfected everything He created and He began the creation of man from clay.

35:11.And Allah created you from dust, then from a seed, then He made you into pairs. And no female becomes pregnant, nor gives birth, without His knowledge. Nor does anyone have his life extended, or his life is shortened, except in a record. This is easy for Allah.

37:11. So ask them: "Are they the more powerful creation, or the others We created?" We have created them from a clay that is sticky.

71:17. "And Allah made you grow from the earth as growth."*]
