Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 · Divine Authorization of the Quran's Mathematical Code* [13:37] We revealed these laws in Arabic, and if you ever acquiesce to their wishes, after this knowledge has come to you, you will have no ally, nor a protector, against GOD. Footnote [13:38] We have sent messengers before you (O Rashad), and we made them husbands with wives and children. No messenger can produce a miracle without GOD's authorization, and in accordance with a specific, predetermined time. [13:39] GOD erases whatever He wills, and fixes. With Him is the original Master Record. [13:40] Whether we show you what we promise them, or terminate your life before that, your sole mission is to deliver (the message). It is us who will call them to account. [13:41] Do they not see that every day on earth, brings them closer to the end, and that GOD decides their life span, irrevocably? He is the most efficient Reckoner. [13:42] Others before them have schemed, b...

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 · Heaven Allegorically Described [13:35] The allegory of Heaven, which is promised for the righteous, is flowing streams, inexhaustible provisions, and cool shade.

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 · All Messengers Must Be Ridiculed [13:32] Messengers before you have been ridiculed; I permitted the disbelievers to carry on, then I punished them. How terrible was My retribution! [13:33] Is there any equal to the One who controls every single soul? Yet, they set up idols to rival GOD. Say, "Name them. Are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know? Or, are you fabricating empty statements?" Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve have been adorned in their eyes. They are thus diverted from the right path. Whomever GOD sends astray can never find a guiding teacher. [13:34] They have incurred retribution in this life, and the retribution in the Hereafter is far worse. Nothing can protect them against GOD.                                                            ...

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 Mathematical Miracle of the Quran [13:31] Even if a Quran caused mountains to move, or the earth to tear asunder, or the dead to speak (they will not believe). GOD controls all things. Is it not time for the believers to give up and realize that if GOD willed, He could have guided all the people? The disbelievers will continue to suffer disasters, as a consequence of their own works, or have disasters strike close to them, until GOD's promise is fulfilled. GOD will never change the predetermined destiny.

I put my trust in Him alone; to Him is my ultimate destiny." Footnote

They have become preoccupied with this life, and this life, compared to the Hereafter, is nil. [13:27] Those who disbelieve would say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we would believe)." Say, "GOD sends astray whomever He wills, and guides to Him only those who obey." [13:28] They are the ones whose hearts rejoice in remembering GOD. Absolutely, by remembering GOD, the hearts rejoice. [13:29] Those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved happiness and a joyous destiny.                              ...

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 · Believers Versus Disbelievers (1) The Believers [13:19] Is one who recognizes that your Lord's revelations to you are the truth equal to one who is blind? Only those who possess intelligence will take heed. [13:20] They are the ones who fulfill their pledge to GOD, and do not violate the covenant. [13:21] They join what GOD has commanded to be joined, reverence their Lord, and fear the dreadful reckoning. [13:22] They steadfastly persevere in seeking their Lord, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), spend from our provisions to them secretly and publicly, and counter evil with good. These have deserved the best abode. [13:23] They enter the gardens of Eden, together with the righteous among their parents, their spouses, and their children. The angels will enter to them from every door. [13:24] "Peace be upon you, because you steadfastly persevered. What a joyous destiny."                  ...

Similarly, when they use fire to refine metals for their jewelry or equipment, foam is produced. GOD thus cites analogies for the truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it goes to waste, whil...

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013 · All Creation Has Submitted to God [13:15] To GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.* Footnote [13:16] Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "GOD." Say, "Why then do you set up besides Him masters who do not possess any power to benefit or harm even themselves?" Say, "Is the blind the same as the seer? Is darkness the same as the light?" Have they found idols besides GOD who created creations similar to His creations, to the point of not distinguishing the two creations? Say, "GOD is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme."

Johnnie Ellington II September 8, 2013  ·  Belief in the Hereafter Required For Salvation [13:5] If you ever wonder, the real wonder is their saying: "After we turn into dust, do we get recreated anew?"  These are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord. These are the ones who have incurred shackles around their necks. These are the ones who have incurred Hell, wherein they abide forever. [13:6] They challenge you to bring doom upon them, rather than turning righteous! Sufficient precedents have been set for them in the past. Indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness towards the people, in spite of their transgressions, and your Lord is also strict in enforcing retribution. [13:7] Those who disbelieved say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we will then believe)." You are simply a warner—every community receives a guiding teacher. [13:8] GOD knows what every female bears, and what every womb releases, or gain...
