O people, worship only your Lord - the One who created you and
those before you - that you may be saved.
The One who made the earth habitable for you, and the sky a structure.
He sends down from the sky water, to produce all kinds of fruits for
your sustenance.
You shall not set up idols to rival GOD, now that you know.
If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our servant,
then produce one sura like these, and call
upon your own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful.
If you cannot do this - and you can never do this - then beware of
the Hellfire, whose fuel is people and rocks; it awaits the disbelievers.
[al-Baqarah 2:21-24]
Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth?
Who controls all the hearing and the eyesight?
Who produces the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?
Who is in control of all things?"
They would say,
"GOD."
Say, "Why then do you not observe the commandments?"
Such is GOD, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, exceptfalsehood?
How could you disregard all this?
This is what your Lord's decision does to those who choose
to be
wicked: they cannot believe.
Say, "Can any of your
idols initiate creation, then repeat it?"
Say,
"GOD initiates the creation, then repeats it."
Say, "Does any of your idols guide to the truth?
" Say, "
GOD guides to the truth. Is one who guides to the truth more
worthy of being followed,
or one who does not guide, and needs guidance for himself?
What is wrong with your judgment?"
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture is
no
substitute for the truth.
GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
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.
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."
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.
[Yunus 10:31-39]
As for those who steadfastly persevere, and lead a righteous life,
they
deserve forgiveness and a generous recompense.
You may wish to disregard some of that which is revealed to you, and
you may be annoyed by it.
Also, they may say, "How come no treasure comes down
to him, or an angel?"
You are only a warner; GOD controls all things.
If
they say, " He
fabricated (the Quran)," tell them,
"Then produce ten suras like these,
fabricated, and invite whomever you can, other than GOD,
if you are truthful."
If they fail to meet your challenge, then know that this is revealed with
GOD's knowledge, and that there is no god except He.
| Will you then submit? |
Those who pursue
this worldly life and its material vanities, we will pay
them for their works in this life, without the least reduction.
[Hud 11:11-15]

What Is A
"Gematrical Value"?
When the Quran was revealed, 14 centuries ago, the numbers
known today did not exist. A universal
system was used where the letters of the Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic,
and Greek alphabets were used
as numerals. The number assigned to each letter is its "Gematrical
Value." The numerical values of
the Arabic alphabet are shown in this table
