Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old t...

Do we thank God enough? If you count GOD’s blessings, you cannot possibly encompass them. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. (16:18) God has given us many things in life that we should be thankful for. Therefore, we should be counting our blessings. But we don’t often reflect on what we have. Instead we dwell on what we lack. We cannot have enough of anything, and always want more. We never get tired of asking for more. It is our human nature. [41:49] The human being never tires of imploring for good things. And when adversity befalls him, he turns despondent, desperate. [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. There is nothing wrong with asking God for good things, as long as we are appreciative of them when He gives us what we want, and submit to His will if He chooses not to give. Perhaps He will give them to us later. God knows what is bes...

Some Attributes of God [2:255]  GOD: there is no other god besides Him, the Living, the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who could intercede with Him, except in accordance with His will? He knows their past, and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as He wills. His dominion encompasses the heavens and the earth, and ruling them never burdens Him. He is the Most High, the Great. [59:22]  He is the One GOD; there is no other god beside Him. Knower of all secrets and declarations. He is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. [59:23]  9+2=11+3=14+5=19 He is the One GOD; there is no other god beside Him. The King, the Most Sacred, the Peace, the Most Faithful, the Supreme, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, the Most Dignified. GOD be glorified; far above having partners. [59:24]  He is the One GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beauti...

When I was growing up in Christianity, there were certain ideas that I heard over and over and just took for granted. I didn’t give them much thought. Looking at those phrases now I can see Satan’s hand in them. They make it easy to diminish God, to humanize Him. Things like: “God is sad when you don’t believe.” God doesn’t need our worship. He doesn’t need our prayers. If we fail to heed His guidance, it doesn’t hurt Him in any way. Under the subtitle: Believe For Your Own Good, 39:7 3+7=10+9=19 makes this clear. If you disbelieve, GOD does not need anyone. But He dislikes to see His servants make the wrong decision. If you decide to be appreciative, He is pleased for you. No soul bears the sins of any other soul. Ultimately, to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you of everything you had done. He is fully aware of the innermost thoughts. Or: “He created man in His image.” This phrase gives one a mental picture of God with a face and a body, feet and hair. The painting on t...

Submission to GOD (Islam) God's Final Message to Humanity We are dedicated to spreading the truth about the religion of Submission. "Submission" (Islam in Arabic) is not a name. It is a description reflecting the soul's absolute devotion and submission to God alone. This is the First Commandment in all of God's scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Final Testament —Quran. The true religion of Submission is one of happiness and peace through devotion to God alone, belief in the Hereafter, and leading a righteous life. Submitters are the true followers of God's religion. While every religion has been corrupted by innovations, traditions, and false idolatrous doctrines, there may be "Submitters" within every religion. There may be Submitters who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or anything else (read more ...). These Submitters, collectively, constitute the only religion acceptable to God. All Submitters who ...

Greatness of God We learn from Verse 39:67 that God's greatness is far beyond human comprehension - the verse states that all seven universes are "folded within God's hand." Supported by the Quran's formidable mathematical code, we are taught that our universe is the smallest and innermost of seven universes (41:12, 55:33, 67:5, & 72:8-12). Meanwhile, our scientific advances have shown us that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is 100,000 light years across, and that our universe contains a billion such galaxies and a billion trillion stars, plus countless decillions of heavenly bodies. Our universe is estimated to span distances in excess of 20,000,000,000 light years. Count the Stars! If we take only a quintillion [1,000,000,000,000,000,000] of the stars and simply count them [from 0 to quintillion] one count per second, day and night, this will take 32 billion years (more than the age of the universe). That is how long it will take to just "count" them; b...

Glorifying Him are the seven universes, the earth, and everyone in them. There is nothing that does not glorify Him, but you do not understand their glorification…. [17:44 God and His seven universes Glorifying Him are the seven universes, the earth, and everyone in them. There is nothing that does not glorify Him, but you do not understand their glorification…. [17:44] [13:2] GOD is the One who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see, then assumed all authority. He committed the sun and the moon, each running (in its orbit) for a predetermined period. He controls all things, and explains the revelations, that you may attain certainty about meeting your Lord. The whole world that is known to us and everything in it is our universe. Many astronomers think that everything in our universe was once packed together in one lump. Then, about 15 billion years ago, there was a gigantic cosmic explosion which they call the Big Bang. According to them, our universe was created from th...

The incomprehensible vastness of these seven universes is within the fist of God's hand! [39:67] They can never fathom the greatness of GOD. The whole earth is within His fist on the Day of Resurrection. In fact, the universes are folded within His right hand. Be He glorified; He is much too high above needing any partners [41:12] Thus, He completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient

The whole world that is known to us and everything in it is our universe. Many astronomers think that everything in our universe was once packed together in one lump. Then, about 15 billion years ago, there was a gigantic cosmic explosion which they call the Big Bang. According to them, our universe was created from that explosion! [21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?

Everything in space has a pulling force called gravity—galaxies, stars, planets like the earth, and even moons. Gravity holds things together and stops them floating off into space. 35:41] GOD is the One who holds the heavens and the earth, lest they vanish. If anyone else is to hold them, they will most certainly vanish. He is Clement, Forgiving. [25:45] Have you not seen how your Lord designed the shadow? If He willed, He could have made it fixed, then we would have designed the sun accordingly. [25:46] But we designed it to move slowly. [25:47] He is the One who designed the night to be a cover, and for you to sleep and rest. And He made the day a resurrection

49:18] GOD knows all the secrets in the heavens and the earth; GOD is Seer of everything you do. According to the cosmology, The Big Bang explosion sent the young universe flying out in all directions. Over vast ages of time, bits came together to make galaxies. The galaxies are huge groups of stars in space. The galaxies are still speeding apart today, and our universe is getting bigger! [41:11] Then He turned to the sky, when it was still gas, and said to it, and to the earth, "Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly." [25:61] Most blessed is the One who placed constellations in the sky, and placed in it a lamp, and a shining moon. [51:47] We constructed the sky with our hands, and we will continue to expand it. No one knows where all the material to make the universe came from in the first place!

Some astronomers think that the galaxies may one day start falling back toward each other until they crash together in a Big Crunch! In cosmology, the Big Crunch is a hypothesized collapse of the universe upon itself after its eventual stoppage of expansion! Is it not true that the Big Crunch is not a hypothesis, not a theory but an inviolable law of God Almighty that will surely take place on the appointed day, the Day of Decision! [21:104] On that day, we will fold the heaven, like the folding of a book. Just as we initiated the first creation, we will repeat it. This is our promise; we will certainly carry it out.                                                   Is it not true that the Big Crunch is not a hypothesis, not a theory but an inviolable law of God Almighty that will surely take place on the appointed day, the Day of Decision!
