Indeed, your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days *_{Genesis 1:31}* - 2:1 and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is God, your Lord, so serve Him. Then will you not remember?

And they serve [idols] other than God which neither harm them nor benefit them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with God." Say, "Do you inform God of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" He is Exalted and high above what they associate [with Him]. *_{Psalms 97:9}* 10:19 And* mankind was nothing but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning those [matters] in which they differed.

And they say, "Why is a sign not sent down to him from his Lord?" *2* _{Ezra 1:35} So say, "The unseen is only for God [to administer], so wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, a storm wind comes and the waves come upon them from everywhere and they assume that they are surrounded, supplicating God, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful." *_{Psalms 107:25}* - 28 10:23 But when He saves them, at once they rebel upon the earth without truth. O mankind, your rebellion is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then your return is to Us, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

But those who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have no protector from God. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark. *2* _{Ezra 7:55} Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

And if each soul that wronged had everything on earth, it would offer it in ransom. *_{BookOfEnoch 52:7}*, *_{BookOfEnoch 63:10}, *_{BookOfJubilees 5:23}, *_{Job 36:18}* - 19, *_{Psalms 49:6}* - 7, *_{Proverbs 11:4}*, *_{Zephaniah 1:18}*, *_{Ezekiel 7:19}* And they will confide regret when they see the punishment; and they will be judged in justice, and they will not be wronged.

He gives life and causes death, *_{Deuteronomy 32:39}*, *_{1Samuel 2:6}, *Wisdom of _{Solomon 16:13}, *_{4Maccabees 18:19} and you will be returned to Him.

They have said, "God has taken a son." *2* _{Ezra 2:47}, *_{Mark 15:39}*, *_{Acts 8:37}*, *_{Acts 9:20}* He is Exalted; He is the [one] Free of need. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth [belong] to Him. You have no authority for this [claim]. Do you say [something] about God which you do not know?

And if you turn away [from my advice] then I have asked for no payment from you. *_{ShepherdOfHermas 43:12}* My reward is only from God, and I have been commanded to be in submission [to God]."

And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given splendor and wealth in the worldly life to Pharaoh and his establishment, our Lord, so that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts *_{Exodus 7:3}* so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them *_{BookOfEnoch 89:25}*, *_{Exodus 14:23}* in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning grasped him, he said, "I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am among those in submission [to God]."

Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, *_{Jonah 3:4}* - 5 We removed the punishment of disgrace from them in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time.

Then We will save Our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers. *_{Psalms 37:39}* - 40 10:104 Say, "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not serve those which you serve besides God; but I serve God, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be among the believers.

And if God should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends good for you, then there is no repeller of His bounty. *_{Isaiah 14:27}* He causes it to strike whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
