First In Islam
First In Islam
Surat 39(1) begins with its usual boasting that this so called revelation is from the mighty and wise God. Reading on, verse 12 says that Muhammad was the first to bow to God in Islam. But in Surat 42- which follows the famaliar boasting pattern as S39- (13)Allah makes known that Muhammad was not It’s first worshipper. That before Muhammad, there was Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus.
I suggest that this Allah was a little too busy and that It forgot what It had earlier revealed to It’s madman. Meaning of couse that Islam is just made up and not at all a religion.
Surat 39 Boasting
IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
The sending down of the Book from God, the mighty, the wise.
Verily, we have sent down to thee the Book in truth, then serve God, being sincere in religion unto Him. Aye! God's is the sincere religion: and those who take beside Him patrons------'We do not serve them save that they may bring us near to God------' Verily, God will judge between them concerning that whereon they do dispute.
[5] Verily, God guides not him who is a misbelieving liar.
Had God wished to take to Himself a child, He would have chosen what He pleased from what He creates;--celebrated be His praises! He is God, the one, the victorious. He created the heavens and the earth in truth! It is He who clothes the day with night; and clothes the night with day; and subjects the sun and the moon, each one runs on to an appointed time; aye! He is the mighty, the forgiving!
[6] He created you from one soul; then He made from it its mate; and He sent down upon you of the cattle four pairs! He creates you in the bellies of your mothers,--creation after creation, in three darknesses. That is God for you! His is the kingdom, there is no god but He; how then can ye be turned away?
[12] Say, 'Verily, I am bidden to serve God, being sincere in religion to Him; and I am bidden that I be the first of those resigned.'
Surat 42 Boasting
IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
‘H. M. ’H. S. Q. Thus does God, the mighty, the wise, inspire thee and those before thee.
His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and He is the high, the mighty!
The heavens well-nigh cleave asunder from above them; and the angels celebrate the praises of their Lord, and ask forgiveness for those who are on the earth. Ay, verily, God, He is the forgiving and merciful! but those who take beside Him patrons, God watches over them, and thou hast not charge over them.
[5] Thus have we revealed an Arabic Qur’ân, that thou mayest warn the Mother of cities and all around it; and warn them of a day of gathering, there is no doubt therein;--a part in Paradise and a part in the blaze.
But had God pleased He would have made them one nation; but He makes whom He will enter into His mercy; and the unjust have neither patron nor help. Do they take other patrons besides Him, when God He is the patron, and He quickens the dead and He is mighty over all?
But whatsoever ye dispute about, the judgment of it is God's. There is God for you!--my Lord! upon Him do I rely, and unto Him I turn repentant. The originator of the heavens and the earth, He has made for you from yourselves wives; and of the cattle mates; producing you thereby. There is naught like Him, for He both hears and sees.
[10] His are the keys of, the heavens and the earth, He extends provision to whom He will, or doles it out; verily, He knows everything.
He has enjoined upon you for religion what He prescribed to Noah and what We inspired thee with, and what We inspired Abraham and Moses and Jesus,--to be steadfast in religion, and not to part into sects therein--a great thing to the idolaters is that which ye call them to! God elects for Himself whom He pleases and guides unto Himself him who turns repentant
