Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 10:04 PM · I seek refuge in Allah, from Satan the rejected. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe. Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship. You alone we ask for help. Guide us in the right path; the path of those whom You blessed; not of those who have deserved wrath, nor of the strayers. "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the devils. And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they come near me." "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak. From the evils among His creations. From the evils of darkness as it falls. From the evils of the troublemakers. From the evils of the envious when they envy." "I seek refuge in the Lord of the people. The King of the people. The god of the people. From the evils of sneaky whisperers. Who whisper into the chests of the people. Be they of the jinns, or the people." "Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make mistakes. Our Lord, and protect us from blaspheming against You, like those before us have done. Our Lord, protect us from sinning until it becomes too late for us to repent. Pardon us and forgive us. You are our Lord and Master. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people." "Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us our sins, and spare us the agony of the hellfire." "Our Lord, forgive us our sins, and our transgressions, strengthen our foothold, and grant us victory over the disbelievers." "Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling to faith and proclaiming: `You shall believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us our transgressions, remit our sins, and let us die as righteous believers. Our Lord, shower us with the blessings you promised us through Your messengers, and do not forsake us on the Day of Resurrection. You never break a promise." "Our Lord, we have wronged our souls, and unless You forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be losers.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 · Disbelievers Cannot Understand Quran [17:45] When you read the Quran, we place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier. Quran: The ONLY Source [17:46] We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone,* they run away in aversion. Footnote [17:47] We are fully aware of what they hear, when they listen to you, and when they conspire secretly - the disbelievers say,"You are following a crazy man." [17:48] Note how they describe you, and how this causes them to stray off the path.

Footnote [17:14] Read your own record. Today, you suffice as your own reckoner. [17:15] Whoever is guided, is guided for his own good, and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment. No sinner will bear the sins of anyone else. We never punish without first sending a messenger. [17:16] If we are to annihilate any community, we let the leaders commit vast corruption therein. Once they deserve retribution, we annihilate it completely. [17:17] Many a generation have we annihilated after Noah. Your Lord is most efficient in dealing with the sins of His servants; He is fully Cognizant, Seer. Choose Your Priorities Carefully This Life [17:18] Anyone who chooses this fleeting life as his priority, we will rush to him what we decide to give him, then we commit him to Gehenna, where he suffers forever, despised and defeated. The Hereafter [17:19] As for those who choose the Hereafter as their priority, and work righteousness, while believing, their efforts will be appreciated. [17:20] For each one of them we provide; we provide for those and these from your Lord's bounties. Your Lord's bounties are inexhaustible. [17:21] Note how we preferred some people above others (in this life). The differences in the Hereafter are far greater and far more significant.

Footnote [16:99] He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord. [16:100] His power is limited to those who choose him as their master, those who choose him as their god. [16:101] When we substitute one revelation in place of another, and GOD is fully aware of what He reveals, they say, "You made this up!" Indeed, most of them do not know. [16:102] Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord, truthfully, to assure those who believe, and to provide a beacon and good news for the submitters." The Quran Is Not Copied From The Bible [16:103] We are fully aware that they say, "A human being is teaching him!" The tongue of the source they hint at is non-Arabic, and this is a perfect Arabic tongue. [16:104] Surely, those who do not believe in GOD's revelations, GOD does not guide them. They have incurred a painful retribution. [16:105] The only ones who fabricate false doctrines are those who do not believe in GOD's revelations; they are the real liars.

[16:108] Those are the ones whom GOD has sealed their hearts, and their hearing, and their eyesight. Consequently, they remain unaware.

Nor would we prohibit anything besides His prohibitions." Those before them have done the same. Can the messengers do anything but deliver the complete message? [16:36] We have sent a messenger to every community, saying, "You shall worship GOD, and avoid idolatry." Subsequently, some were guided by GOD, while others were committed to straying. Roam the earth and note the consequences for the rejectors. [16:37] No matter how hard you try to guide them, GOD does not guide the ones He had committed to straying. Thus, no one can help them.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 7:43 PM · The Dead Prophets and Saints [16:20] As for the idols they set up beside GOD, they do not create anything; they themselves were created. [16:21] They are dead, not alive, and they have no idea how or when they will be resurrected. [16:22] Your god is one god. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are denying, and they are arrogant. [16:23] Absolutely, GOD knows everything they conceal and everything they declare. He does not love those who are arrogant. [16:24] When they are asked, "What do you think of these revelations from your Lord," they say, "Tales from the past." [16:25] They will be held responsible for their sins on the Day of Resurrection, all of them, in addition to sins of all those whom they misled by their ignorance. What a miserable load! [16:26] Others like them have schemed in the past, and consequently, GOD destroyed their building at the foundation, causing the roof to fall on them. The retribution struck them when they least expected. [16:27] Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them and ask, "Where are My partners that you had set up beside Me, and had opposed Me for their sake?" Those blessed with knowledge will say, "Today, the shame and misery have befallen the disbelievers." Death for the Disbelievers [16:28] The angels put them to death in a state of wronging their souls. That is when they finally submit, and say, "We did not do anything wrong!" Yes indeed. GOD is fully aware of everything you have done. [16:29] Therefore, enter the gates of Hell, wherein you abide forever. What a miserable destiny for the arrogant ones.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 6:56 PM · The Human Race [15:26] We created the human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay. [15:27] As for the jinns, we created them, before that, from blazing fire. [15:28] Your Lord said to the angels, "I am creating a human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay. [15:29] "Once I perfect him, and blow into him from My spirit, you shall fall prostrate before him." [15:30] The angels fell prostrate; all of them, [15:31] except Iblis (Satan). He refused to be with the prostrators. [15:32] He said, "O Iblis (Satan), why are you not with the prostrators?" [15:33] He said, "I am not to prostrate before a human being, whom You created from aged mud, like the potter's clay." [15:34] He said, "Therefore, you must get out; you are banished. [15:35] "You have incurred My condemnation until the Day of Judgment." [15:36] He said, "My Lord, respite me until the day they are resurrected." [15:37] He said, "You are respited. [15:38] "Until the specified day and time." [15:39] He said, "My Lord, since You have willed that I go astray, I will surely entice them on earth; I will send them all astray. [15:40] "Except those among Your worshipers who are devoted absolutely to You alone." [15:41] He said, "This is a law that is inviolable. [15:42] "You have no power over My servants. You only have power over the strayers who follow you. [15:43] "And Hell awaits them all. [15:44] "It will have seven gates. Each gate will get a specific share of them." [15:45] As for the righteous, they will enjoy gardens and springs. [15:46] Enter therein, peaceful and secure. [15:47] We remove all jealousy from their hearts. Like one family, they will be on adjacent furnishings. [15:48] Never will they suffer any fatigue therein; never will they be evicted therefrom. [15:49] Inform My servants that I am the Forgiver, Most Merciful. [15:50] And that My retribution is the most painful retribution.

Say, "Enjoy for awhile; your final destiny is Hell." Crucial Commandments [14:31] Exhort My servants who believed to observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and to give (to charity) from our provisions to them, secretly and publicly, before a day comes where there is neither trade, nor nepotism. [14:32] GOD is the One who created the heavens and the earth, and He sends down from the sky water to produce all kinds of fruit for your sustenance. He has committed the ships to serve you on the sea in accordance with His command. He has committed the rivers as well to serve you. [14:33] He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, continuously. He has committed the night and the day to serve you. [14:34] And He gives you all kinds of things that you implore Him for. If you count GOD's blessings, you can never encompass them. Indeed, the human being is transgressing, unappreciative.

If He wills, He can remove you, and substitute a new creation in your place. [14:20] This is not too difficult for GOD. On the Day of Resurrection [14:21] When they all stand before GOD,* the followers will say to the leaders, "We used to follow you. Can you spare us even a little bit of GOD's retribution?" They will say, "Had GOD guided us, we would have guided you. Now it is too late, whether we grieve or resort to patience, there is no exit for us."

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 · God Never Ordered Abraham to Sacrifice His Son God is the Most Merciful. He never violates His own law (7:28). Any person who believes that the Most Merciful ordered Abraham to kill his son cannot possibly make it to God's Heaven. Such evil thought about God is grossly blasphemous. Nowhere in the Quran do we see that God ordered Abraham to kill his son. On the contrary, God intervened to save Abraham and Ismail from Satan's plot (37:107), and He told Abraham: "You believed the dream" (37:105). Undoubtedly, it was a dream inspired by Satan.

johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 2:03 AM · The Messenger's Doubt [10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture. Indeed, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Do not be with the doubters. [10:95] Nor shall you join those who rejected GOD's revelations, lest you be with the losers. [10:96] Surely, those condemned by a decree from your Lord cannot believe. [10:97] No matter what kind of proof you show them, (they cannot believe), until they see the painful retribution.

Footnote [10:93] We have endowed the Children of Israel with a position of honor, and blessed them with good provisions. Yet, they disputed when this knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they disputed.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 2:00 AM · Moses and Aaron [10:75] Then we sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his group, with our proofs. But they turned arrogant; and were transgressing people. [10:76] When the truth came to them from us, they said, "This is obviously magic!" [10:77] Moses said, "Is this how you describe the truth when it comes to you? Is this magic? How can any magicians prevail?" [10:78] They said, "Did you come to divert us from what we found our parents doing, and to attain positions of prominence for yourselves? We will never join you as believers.

[10:73] They rejected him and, consequently, we saved him and those who joined him in the ark; we made them the inheritors. And we drowned those who rejected our revelations. Note the consequences; they have been warned.

They will be ridden with remorse when they see the retribution. They will be judged equitably, without the least injustice. [10:55] Absolutely, to GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Absolutely, GOD's promise is truth, but most of them do not know. [10:56] He controls life and death, and to Him you will be returned. [10:57] O people, enlightenment has come to you herein from your Lord, and healing for anything that troubles your hearts, and guidance, and mercy for the believers.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:47 AM · Humans Freely Choose Their Paths [10:43] Some of them look at you, but can you guide the blind, even though they do not see? [10:44] GOD never wrongs the people; it is the people who wrong their own souls. [10:45] On the day when He summons all of them, they will feel as if they lasted in this world one hour of the day, during which they met. Losers indeed are those who disbelieved in meeting GOD; and chose to be misguided. [10:46] Whether we show you some (of the retribution) we promise them, or terminate your life before that, to us is their ultimate return. GOD witnesses everything they do. [10:47] To each community, a messenger. After their messenger comes, they are judged equitably, without the least injustice. [10:48] They challenge: "When will this prophecy come to pass, if you are telling the truth?" The Messenger Possesses No Power [10:49] Say, "I possess no power to harm myself, or benefit myself; only what GOD wills takes place." Each community has a predetermined life span. Once their interim comes to an end, they cannot delay it by one hour, nor advance it.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:45 AM · Only God Can Author the Quran [10:37] This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from the Lord of the universe. [10:38] If they say, "He fabricated it," say, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite whomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful." [10:39] Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the transgressors. [10:40] Some of them believe (in this scripture), while others disbelieve in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the evildoers. [10:41] If they reject you, then say, "I have my works, and you have your works. You are innocent of anything I do, and I am innocent of anything you do." [10:42] Some of them listen to you, but can you make the deaf hear, even though they cannot understand?

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:20 AM · If GOD hastened the retribution incurred by the people, the way they demand provisions, they would have been annihilated long ago. However, we leave those who do not believe in meeting us in their transgressions, blundering. [10:12] When adversity touches the human being, he implores us while lying down, or sitting, or standing up. But as soon as we relieve his adversity, he goes on as if he never implored us to relieve any hardship! The works of the transgressors are thus adorned in their eyes. Lessons from the Past [10:13] Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people. Now It Is Your Turn [10:14] Then we made you inheritors of the earth after them, to see how you will do. Every Letter Calculated and Divinely Designed [10:15] When our revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet us say, "Bring a Quran* other than this, or change it!" Say, "I cannot possibly change it on my own. I simply follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of an awesome day." [10:16] Say, "Had GOD willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would you have known anything about it. I have lived among you a whole life before this (and you have known me as a sane, truthful person). Do you not understand?"

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:14 AM · Our only Lord is Allah; the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. He controls all matters. There is no intercessor, except in accordance with His will. Such is GOD your Lord. You shall worship Him. Would you not take heed? [10:4] To Him is your ultimate return, all of you. This is GOD's truthful promise. He initiates the creation, then repeats it, in order to reward those who believe and lead a righteous life, equitably. As for those who disbelieve, they incur hellish drinks, and a painful retribution for their disbelieving. [10:5] He is the One who rendered the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and He designed its phases that you may learn to count the years and to calculate. GOD did not create all this, except for a specific purpose. He explains the revelations for people who know. [10:6] Surely, in the alternation of night and day, and what GOD created in the heavens and the earth, there are proofs for people who are righteous. Preoccupation With This World [10:7] Those who are not expecting to meet us, and are preoccupied with this worldly life, and are content with it, and refuse to heed our proofs; [10:8] these have incurred Hell as their ultimate abode, as a consequence of their own works.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:10 AM · GOD does not send any people astray, after He had guided them, without first pointing out for them what to expect. GOD is fully aware of all things. [9:116] To GOD belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He controls life and death. You have none beside GOD as a Lord and Master. [9:117] GOD has redeemed the prophet, and the immigrants (Muhajireen) and the supporters who hosted them and gave them refuge (Ansar), who followed him during the difficult times. That is when the hearts of some of them almost wavered. But He has redeemed them, for He is Compassionate towards them, Most Merciful.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 1:00 AM · The Most Profitable Investment [9:111] GOD has bought from the believers their lives and their money in exchange for Paradise. Thus, they fight in the cause of GOD, willing to kill and get killed. Such is His truthful pledge in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran - and who fulfills His pledge better than GOD? You shall rejoice in making such an exchange. This is the greatest triumph. The Believers [9:112] They are the repenters, the worshipers, the praisers, the meditators, the bowing and prostrating, the advocators of righteousness and forbidders of evil, and the keepers of GOD's laws. Give good news to such believers. You Shall Disown God's Enemies Abraham Disowned His Father [9:113] Neither the prophet, nor those who believe shall ask forgiveness for the idol worshipers, even if they were their nearest of kin, once they realize that they are destined for Hell. [9:114] The only reason Abraham asked forgiveness for his father was that he had promised him to do so. But as soon as he realized that he was an enemy of GOD, he disowned him. Abraham was extremely kind, clement.

This is because they disbelieve in GOD and His messenger. GOD does not guide the wicked people.

Johnnie Ellington II July 15, 2013 at 12:46 AM · God's System Does Not Change [9:69] Some of those before you were stronger than you, and possessed more money and children. They became preoccupied with their material possessions. Similarly, you have become preoccupied with your material possessions, just like those before you have become preoccupied. You have become totally heedless, just as they were heedless. Such are the people who nullify their works, both in this world and in the Hereafter; they are the losers. The Losers [9:70] Have they not learned anything from the previous generations; the people of Noah, `Aad, Thamood, the people of Abraham, the dwellers of Midyan, and the evildoers (of Sodom and Gomorrah)? Their messengers went to them with clear proofs. GOD never wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. The Winners [9:71] The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness and forbid evil, they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they obey GOD and His messenger. These will be showered by GOD's mercy. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. [9:72] GOD promises the believing men and the believing women gardens with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever, and magnificent mansions in the gardens of Eden. And GOD's blessings and approval are even greater. This is the greatest triumph.
