Quran chapter 18 surah 18.
In Quran 18:8 all that is on the earth is turned to dust and then Allaah shows that when people wake up on the Day of Resurrection they will all say that death felt like nothing but sleeping for part of one day in Quran 18:9 – 18:26 when in fact the seven sleepers in the cave which represents the grave actually had been sleeping for three hundred and nine years meaning on the Day of Resurrection death for every human will feel like the blink (closing and then opening) of the eye in Quran 16:77.

See Quran 18:92 – 18:99.
Dhul-Qarnain is the messiah king Cyrus.
When the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad who is Dhul-Qarnayn meaning two horns in Tanakh Jewish scripture the correct answer of every truthful prophet is the messiah king Cyrus.
Any answer other than the messiah king Cyrus is only given by a false prophet who has no true revelation from Allaah.
Many hadith contradict the scriptures of Allaah meaning they did not come from Allaah or from His prophet.
Some hadith say Dhul-Qarnayn meaning two horns was an Egyptian.
Other hadith say Dhul-Qarnayn meaning two horns was Alexander the Great.
.
What does Allaah say?
Dhul-Qarnain means two horns. What are the two horns?
Daniel 8:20 The ram which you saw having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
.
Daniel 8:7 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns (meaning he conquered the kings of Media and Persia); and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
.
Ezra 1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain king of Persia, that the word of the Lord (Allaah) by the mouth of Prophet Jeremiah Irmiya might be accomplished, the Lord (Allaah) stirred up the spirit of Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying:
.
Ezra 1:2 Cyrus (Dhul-Qarnain) king of Persia says: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord (Allaah), the Allaah of heaven has given to me; and He (Allaah) has charged me to build Him (Allaah) a house in Jerusalem Al-Quds, which is in Judah.
.
Isaiah 45:2 I (Allaah) will go before you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain), and make the crooked places (the difficult things) straight (easy to achieve); I (Allaah) will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut off bars of iron (to make the barrier against Gog Ya'juj and Magog Ma'juj) ;
.
Quran 18:86 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) reached the place where the sun set (the west coast of Lydia in the kingdom in Lydia, today in Turkey), he found it (the sun) setting on dark muddy water (the Black Sea). And he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) found a people near it (the west coast of Lydia on the Black Sea). We (Allaah) said "O King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain, Either punish them or treat them with kindness."
.
Quran 18:90 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) reached the place where the sun rises (far east in Balkh, Afghanistan) on people who had no shelter from it (meaning, no shelter from the Sun because they are a nomadic people who live without houses).
.
Quran 18:93 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) came (north towards the Caucasus, Caucas) between two mountains (the Caucasus Mountains), where he found people in the valley whose language he could hardly understand.
.
Quran 18:94 They said, “King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain, the Gog Ya'juj and Magog Ma'juj are doing great mischief in the land. So may we pay you to make a barrier between us and them?
.
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his bands; even many peoples with you.
.
Ezekiel 38:15 And you (Gog Ya'juj) shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
.
Ezekiel 39:2 and I (Allaah) will turn you around and lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I (Allaah) will bring you on the mountains of Israel;
.
Isaiah 45:1 So said the Lord (Allaah) to His (Allaah’s) anointed one (anointed means messiah), to (messiah King) Cyrus, whose right hand I (Allaah) held (meaning guided), to flatten nations before him, and the loins of kings I (Allaah) will loosen, to open portals before him, and gates shall not be closed.
.
Isaiah 45:2 I (Allaah) will go before you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain), and make the crooked places (the difficult things) straight (easy to achieve); I (Allaah) will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut off bars of iron;
.
Isaiah 45:3 And I (Allaah) will give you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places so that you may know that I am the Lord (Allaah), who call you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) by your name, even (as I am) the Allaah of Israel.
.
Isaiah 45:4 For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel My chosen one (Jacob “the servant” is the father of the children of Israel who are “the chosen one”), I (Allaah) have called you by your name (Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1), I (Allaah) gave you your surnamed, though you (Cyrus) had not known Me (Allaah).
.
Isaiah 45:5 I am the Lord (Allaah), and there is none else, beside Me there is no Allaah; I have strengthened you, though you have not known Me (Allaah);
.
Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun (in the East), and from the West, that there is none beside Me; I am the Lord (Allaah); and there is none else;
.
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind (among you) but My servant (Israel)? Or deaf (among you) as My messenger (messiah King Cyrus) that I will send? He (the Israelite) who was blind (to Allaah) is like he who received his payment (meaning his punishment through the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem and his exile to Babylon has cleaned him of sin), and he (the messiah King Cyrus) who was blind (to Allaah, had his eyes open to Allaah so that messiah King Cyrus) is like the (willing) servant of Allaah.
.
Quran 18:98 King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain said, "This is a mercy from my Lord (Allaah), but later my Lord (Allaah) shall level it (the barrier) down to the ground. The promise of my Lord (Allaah) is the truth."
.
Ezekiel 38:20 so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls (birds) of the heaven (sky), and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people that are on the face of the earth, shall shake at My (Allaah’s) presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
.
Quran 18:99 And on that day (when Gog Ya'juj and Magog Ma'juj shall come out) We (Allaah) shall let some of them (peoples) surge against others, and (when the time of the hour of the end of the Earth comes) the horn (trumpet) shall be blown. Then We (Allaah) shall gather them (humans) all together (from death back to life on the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter).
.
Ezekiel 38:16 and you shall come up against My (Allaah’s) people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I (Allaah) will bring you against My (Allaah’s) land so that the nations may know Me (Allaah), when I (Allaah) shall be sanctified (confirmed as Allaah) before their eyes, through (what) you, Gog Ya'juj (shall try to do).
.
Ezekiel 39:4 You (Gog Ya'juj) shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands (armies), and the peoples that are with you; I (Allaah) will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field, to be eaten.
.
Ezekiel 39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them (the dead bodies of Gog Ya'juj and his army) so that they (the children of Israel) may clean the land (of Israel).
.
Conclusion.
Hadith stories which contradict the scriptures of Allaah are not from Allaah and they are not from the prophet of Allaah but come from false stories that were invented after the death of the prophet in the same way as false stories claiming Jesus is Alllaah were invented after Jesus passed away.

Comment 1. What is the truth?
Truth means these are not invented stories.
Truth means these are the stories inspired by belief in Allaah.
Truth means these stories can be found in the Books of Allaah, the Torah Taurat Jewish Bible and/or the Gospel Injil Christian Bible and/or other inspired writings.

Quran 26:196 Verse 26:196 It (the revelations from Allaah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil).
Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allaah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allaah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.
Comment 2.The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
A. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.
See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.

G. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.
See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.
Quran 18:2 Koran 18:2 Verse 18:2 Ayah 18:2 Ayat 18:2 Aya 18:2 – (But has made the Quran) straight, to give warning of severe punishment from Him (Allaah), and to bring to the believers who do good deeds the news that they shall have a good reward (in Paradise), – (Continued Quran 18:3).
Quran 18:3 Koran 18:3 Verse 18:3 Ayah 18:3 Ayat 18:3 Aya 18:3 – In which they shall live forever.
Quran 18:4 Koran 18:4 Verse 18:4 Ayah 18:4 Ayat 18:4 Aya 18:4 And to warn those (among the Christians) who say, “Allaah has begotten (fathered) a (real biological) son” (to explain their reason for praying to creations such as Prophet Jesus Isa instead of correctly praying to Allaah who is the creator of every creation),
Note 1. “Son of Allaah” is not a biological relationship with Allaah.
Allaah has no real biological son.
“Son of Allaah” in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil and Quran 19:93 means servant of Allaah.
Note 2. The “only begotten son” is not a biological relationship with Allaah.
The “only begotten son” means the servant of Allaah with the supreme authority to speak “in the name of Allaah” to the people in his time.
Jesus Isa was the “only begotten son” 2000 years ago in the same way as Moses Musa was the “only begotten son” 3200 years ago.
Note 3. Some Christians misunderstood son to mean a real biological son of Allaah instead of the correct meaning which is servant of Allaah in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil and Quran 19:93
Comment 1. The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Torah is servant of Allaah.
The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Taurat is servant of Allaah.
Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Prophet Moses Musa) shall say to Pharaoh Firon, The Lord (Allaah) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, Israel is Allaah’s servant because they believe in Allaah).
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (Allaah) have said to you (Pharaoh Firon), “Let My son (meaning My servant) go so that he may serve Me (Allaah) and you (Pharaoh Firon) have refused to let him go…”)
Note 1. In the Torah Taurat all the children of Israel are called the son of Allaah meaning the servant of Allaah because they believe in Allaah.
Note 2. Jesus Isa is one of the children of Israel therefore Jesus Isa is a son of Allaah meaning a servant of Allaah because Jesus Isa believes in Allaah.
Note 3. The Gospel Injil is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus Isa who is a son of Allaah meaning a servant of Allaah.
1a. The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Gospel is servant of Allaah.
The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Injil is servant of Allaah.
Gospel of John 14:28 "You heard how I (Jesus Isa) said to you (the disciples of Jesus Isa), 'I (Jesus Isa) am going away, and will be coming to you (the disciples of Jesus Isa).' If you (the disciples of Jesus Isa) loved me (Jesus Isa the messenger of Allaah), you would rejoice that I (Jesus Isa) am going to the Father (Allaah), for the Father (Allaah) is greater than I (Jesus Isa, because Allaah is the creator and Jesus Isa is a created human).
Note 1. Jesus is not Allaah because Allaah is greater than Jesus Isa.
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus Isa said … “I (Jesus Isa) am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.”
Note 1. Jesus Isa believes in one Allaah.
Note 2. Jesus Isa is not Allaah.
Note 3. The soul of every human is raised to Allaah.
Note 4. Allaah is raising the soul of Jesus Isa like Allaah raises the soul of every human.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus Isa said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus Isa) your father (Allaah), because there is only one father (Allaah) for you, the heavenly one …”
Note 1. No one on the Earth is Allaah because everything on the Earth is created by Allaah.
Allaah is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus Isa is not Allaah the expression “Allaah in heaven” is used to show that Jesus Isa who is on the Earth is not Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 (Jesus Isa who was the prophet and messenger of Allaah 2000 years ago said) "But as to that day or that hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus Isa who is a servant of Allaah), but only the Father (Allaah who is the creator of every creation).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Son mean?
Son means servant of Allaah.
The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 (Jesus Isa who was the prophet and messenger of Allaah 2000 years ago said) But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (Allaah) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus Isa who is a servant of Allaah).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Father mean?
Father means Allaah.
Allaah is the father of every creation.

1b. The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Koran is servant of Allaah.
The meaning of the son of Allaah in the Quran is servant of Allaah.
Quran 19:93 verse 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
Note 1. Every creation is a servant of Allaah because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Note 2. Allaah in the Quran warned the Christians against using the words son of Allaah because when some Christians used those words they using them as if Jesus Isa was a real biological son and partner with Allaah.
Quran 7:187 Verse 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour (of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (Allaah) only. He (Allaah) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with Allaah only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
Note 1. Only Allaah knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only Allaah knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses Musa and Jesus Isa and Muhammad are not Allaah and the Holy Spirit is not Allaah because both the humans (Moses Musa and Jesus Isa and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of Allaah angel Gabriel Jibril) are created by Allaah.
Comment 2. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
See Quran 18:1 comment.
Comment 3. See Quran 18:5, 18:6, 18:52, 18:102 and 18:110.
Quran 18:5 Koran 18:5 Verse 18:5 Ayah 18:5 Ayat 18:5 Aya 18:5 They have no knowledge of it (of Allaah having a real biological son because Allaah created all the creations including Adam who had no mother and no father so Allaah has no need to create a son for Himself), nor (had) their fathers (any such knowledge of Allaah creating a real biological son for Himself). Awful is the word that comes out of their mouths (when they say Allaah has a real biological son and then they pray to the created son instead of praying to Allaah who created everything). They speak nothing but a lie (because everything in the Heavens and the Earth belongs to Allaah so Allaah has no need of a real biological son since Allaah already owns everything and everyone that Allaah has created).
Comment 1. Son of Allaah means servant of Allaah.
Allaah in the Quran warned the Christians against using the words son of Allaah because when some Christians used those words they used them as if Jesus Isa was a real biological son and partner with Allaah.
Quran 19:93 verse 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
Comment 2. Son of Allaah in Judaism means servant of Allaah.
Jesus was Jewish meaning Jesus was a servant of Allaah.
My son, My first born means servant.
Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Prophet Moses Musa) shall say to Pharaoh Firon, The Lord (Allaah) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.”
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (Allaah) have said to you (Pharaoh Firon), “Let My son go so that he may serve Me (Allaah) and you (Pharaoh Firon) have refused to let him (the children of Israel) go…”
Note 1. In Torah, Exodus 4:22, 4:23 Allaah said that all the Children of Israel are “His son” meaning Allaah’s servants.
Note 2. A father loves his son and a good son is obedient to his father. Allaah uses the word “son” to mean a relationship of love by Allaah the creator for His creation and Allaah uses the word “son” to mean a relationship of obedience through the fear and the love of the creation to Allaah who is its creator.
Sons of Allaah means servants.
Torah Deuteronomy 14:1 You are sons (meaning servants) of the LORD your Allaah…”
My begotten son means servant.
Zabur Psalm 2:7 I shall tell of the decree (from Allaah). The Lord (Allaah) said to me (The King, the ruler), “You are My son, This day I (Allaah) have begotten (meaning given My favour and My blessing to) you.
Note 1. In Psalm 2:7 begotten is the human to whom Allaah has given Allaah’s favour and Allaah’s blessing.
Comment 3. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
See Quran 18:1 comment.
Quran 18:6 Koran 18:6 Verse 18:6 Ayah 18:6 Ayat 18:6 Aya 18:6 It may be that if they (the idol worshippers of Mecca Makkah Arabia who believe Allaah has taken Angels as Allaah’s daughters or some among the Jews of Yathrib Arabia who believe Allaah has taken Prophet Ezra Uzair as Allaah’s son or the Christians who believe Allaah has taken Prophet Jesus Isa as Allaah’s real biological son) do not believe this revelation (in Quran 18:5) that you (Prophet Muhammad) shall worry yourself to death in grief over their (strong commitment to their false) beliefs.
Comment 1. The belief in a son of Allaah among the Jews of Yathrib Arabia.
The belief in daughters of Allaah among the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah Arabia.
The belief in a son of Allaah among the Christians.
A Jew in Yathrib, Arabia today Medina Madinah Saudi Arabia who was with a gathering of other Jews said, “Prophet Ezra Uzair is the son of Allaah” and he was not corrected by other Jews with him.
“Prophet Ezra Uzair is the son of Allaah” was said as a way of rejecting the Jewish need for Prophet Muhammad.
It might be said that the Jew was arguing that since the Christians have a son of Allaah named Prophet Jesus Isa that saves the Christians from Hell fire, then in the same way the Jews have their own son of Allaah named Prophet Ezra Uzair who saves the Jews from Hell Fire.
This is an argument invented by Jews in Yathrib Arabia in the time that Prophet Muhammad lived in Yathrib because Jews elsewhere before that time and after that time have never said that Prophet Ezra Uzair is the son of Allaah.
It shows how some of the Jews of Yathrib Arabia talked in the name of Allaah with disrespect.
Such talk in the ears of the Muslims of Yathrib Arabia would have sounded the same as the talk of the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah Arabia whom the Muslims were fighting.
The stone idol worshippers of Mecca Makkah similarly said that angels are the daughters of Allaah.
For the Jews to have rejected Prophet Muhammad and speak in the name of Allaah with disrespect would have sounded to the ears of Muslims like the talk of a people that did not believe in Allaah or like the talk of a people who were hypocrites (those that say they believe in Allaah but they do not really believe in Allaah).
Quran 10:104 Verse 10:104 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “O people (of Mecca Makkah), If you are in doubt of my religion then (know that) I do not worship whom you worship as partners with Allaah (meaning, Prophet Muhammad does not pray to idols or dead people such as saints or to messengers of Allaah such as Jesus Isa) but I (Prophet Muhammad) worship Allaah (only because Allaah is the one) who causes you to die (and to be resurrected) and I (Prophet Muhammad) have been commanded to be one of the believers (of Allaah).
Quran 10:105 Verse 10:105 And, (Prophet Muhammad) make your purpose (meaning, make your life) for religion, as a righteous man and do not be like those who assign partners (to Allaah, meaning pray only to Allaah who created you and not to “so-called” partners of Allaah such as idols, dead people called saints or messengers of Allaah such as Prophet Jesus Isa because only your creator has the power to hear prayer).
Quran 10:106 Verse 10:106 And do not pray to “so-called” partners of Allaah (such as idols, dead people called saints or messengers of Allaah such as Prophet Jesus Isa because only your creator has the power to hear prayer and therefore these “so-called” partners of Allaah) cannot benefit you nor harm you so if you pray to them (the things and the people that Allaah created) then you are a wrong-doer (because you are idol worshipping by praying to the creations of Allaah instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of all the creations).
Comment 2. Why do Muslims love Jews? Why do Muslims love Christians?
Allaah loves the Jews.
Allaah loves the Jews with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Allaah loves the children of Israel.
Allaah loves the children of Israel with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Allaah loves the Christians.
Allaah loves the Christians with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Quran 28:53 Verse 28:53 And when it (the Quran) is recited to them (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil), they (those Jews and Christians) say, “We believe in it (the Koran Quran). It is the truth from our Lord (Allaah). Even before it (the Quran was revealed to us) we were of those (Jews and Christians) who submitted (to Allaah. The English word submitter is the Arabic word Muslim. Islam the religion means submission and Muslim the believer means submitter. Submitter and submission for the Muslim people is in Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allaah except Allaah …” and submitter and submission for the Jewish people is in Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allaah” and submitter and submission for the Christian people is in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allaah, and him only shall you serve” meaning Allaah inspired the same belief of Islam which is an Arabic word meaning submission, to Allaah in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and in others).
Quran 28:54 Verse 28:54 They (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil and also believe the Quran) shall be given their reward twice (in Quran 28:54 meaning twofold in Quran 34:37 meaning double in Quran 57:28) because they are steadfast (in their belief in Allaah) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (Allaah) have provided to them. (Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).
Note 1. Jews and Christians who follow their book and also believe the Quran will receive their reward twice in the Hereafter.
The good news message from Allaah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.
Note 2. The Allaah of the Jews, Christians and Muslims is the same Allaah.
Note 3. The Allaah of the Torah, Gospel and Koran is the same Allaah.
Comment 3. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
See Quran 18:1 comment.
Comment 4. Why is the life of a disbeliever very important?
Allaah gives every human a life time to discover the meaning of life.
The life of a disbeliever is very important because the disbeliever is given a life time to discover the purpose of life.
Allaah forgives every sin including the sin of idol worship if humans ask for Allaah’s forgiveness.
In Islam this life is very important because this life determines what shall happen in the hereafter.
The life of a disbeliever is very important because while they have life they have the chance to find correct guidance.
Quran 5:8 Verse 5:8 “... do not let (your) hatred of a people make you act unjustly. Act justly, that is nearer to righteousness and fear Allaah. Allaah is aware of what you do.”
Quran 8:32 Verse 8:32 And they (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) said, “O Allaah, If this is the truth from you then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful punishment.”
Quran 8:33 Verse 8:33 But Allaah would not punish them (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) while you (Prophet Muhammad) were with them, nor shall He (Allaah) punish them while they (might) seek forgiveness.
Quran 18:55 Verse 18:55 And nothing prevents people from believing when the guidance (of Allaah) comes to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord (Allaah) unless they want the example (given in Quran 18:59 and in the Gospel Injil and in the Torah Taurat of the judgment of Allaah) on the people of the past to be (also) put on them or if the punishment (of Allaah) should come in front of them (in the Hereafter when it is too late to say, “Now I believe in Allaah and I ask your forgiveness”).
Forgive disbelievers in this life like you want Allaah to forgive you in the next life.
Quran 45:14 Verse 45:14 Say (Prophet Muhammad) to those who believe (in Allaah that) they (should) forgive those who do not expect the Days of Allaah (in the hereafter, meaning forgive the disbelievers, forgive the non believers, forgive the stone idol worshippers in Mecca, forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah) so that He (Allaah) may reward (the righteous) people for what they earn (in reward for the hereafter by obeying Allaah’s command that the people who believe in Allaah should forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah so that you forgive the disbelievers in your life in the same way that you wish Allaah to forgive you in the next life in the hereafter).
Note 1. Allaah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.
Note 2. Allaah teaches humans to follow the example of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the way of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the path of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the cause of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Note 3. Forgive disbelieves in this world just as you would like Allaah to forgive you in the next world (the hereafter).
Note 4. Verses that Allaah revealed in the Quran during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Quran just as the verses that Allaah revealed in the Torah Taurat during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Canaan today Israel and Palestine do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Torah Taurat.
All of Allaah’s verses carry a message of wisdom for humankind.
Some verses give guidance in times of war and other verses give guidance in times of peace.
The correct interpretation of each verse in the Books of Allaah gives knowledge and wisdom and guidance to whoever Allaah wills.

Quran 18:7 Koran 18:7 Verse 18:7 Ayah 18:7 Ayat 18:7 Aya 18:7 We (Allaah) have put all that is on the earth as decoration (that is pleasing to humans and jinn) so that We (Allaah) may test them (humans and jinn) to show which among them is best in deeds (behavior).
Comment 1. Allaah tests humans to show who is best in behavior.
Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allaah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allaah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allaah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allaah does require that every religion worship only Allaah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allaah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allaah like the Muslims worship only Allaah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allaah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allaah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allaah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allaah and Allaah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allaah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allaah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allaah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allaah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allaah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allaah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allaah” because they were all created by Allaah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allaah.”
Quran 7:129 Verse 7:129 They (the Children of Israel) said (to Prophet Moses Musa), “We suffered harm before you came to us and since you have come to us.” He (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “It may be that your Lord is going to destroy your enemy (in Egypt and in Canaan) and make you inherit the land (by punishing the Pharaoh Firon of Egypt in Quran 7:136 and by replacing the idol worshipping people in Canaan with the worship of Allaah by the children of Israel in Quran 5:20 - 5:26, 7:137) so that He (Allaah) may see how you (the children of Israel) behave.
Note 1. Why does Allaah give people land?
Allaah gives land so that Allaah may see how humans behave.
1. Do you show mercy in the land?
2. Do you forgive in the land?
3. Do you make peace in the land?
4. Do you deal fairly and with justice in the land?
5. In the hereafter no person shall be able to deny that Allaah’s judgement of them will be correct because they shall be shown the good and the evil that they did.
Quran 18:7 Verse 18:7 We (Allaah) have put all that is on the earth as decoration (that is pleasing to humans and jinn) so that We (Allaah) may test them (humans and jinn) to show which among them is best in deeds (behavior).
Quran 18:8 Koran 18:8 Verse 18:8 Ayah 18:8 Ayat 18:8 Aya 18:8 And (when the hour of the end of the Earth comes) We (Allaah) shall make all that is on it (the earth) dust (as if nothing had existed there).
Comment 1. On the Day of Resurrection the Earth shall not exist.
On the Day of Resurrection in the Hereafter people shall be on barren ground and each person shall be judged on that Day of Judgement.
Comment 2. What happens in the grave?
The end of the Earth when all humans are dead in the grave meaning their souls are in heaven waiting for the Day of Resurrection is the beginning of the story of the seven sleepers who represent sleeping in the grave with the question "how much time passed (between your death and your resurrection)" and the answer every person will say when they wake up on the Day of Resurrection is that death feels like “staying in sleep for one day or part of one day” in Quran 18:12 and Quran 18:19 .
Quran 18:9 Koran 18:9 Verse 18:9 Ayah 18:9 Ayat 18:9 Aya 18:9 Don’t you think that the people of the cave and the inscription (Raqeem, Er-Rakeem, Er-Raqim, Al-Rakim in Ephesus Turkey) that were among Our (Allaah’s) signs were a miracle (from Allaah to remind humans of their resurrection)?
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is a story describing death in the grave and the Day of resurrection.
1a. Ar-Raqim is a tablet of stone on which the people of the town wrote the story of the people of the cave and placed it at the entrance of the cave.
Quran 18:10 Koran 18:10 Verse 18:10 Ayah 18:10 Ayat 18:10 Aya 18:10 (Remember the story) when the young men fled for refuge to the cave and said, “Our Lord (Allaah), give us your mercy and bless our affairs with Your (Allaah’s) guidance.”
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is a story confirming the concept that the source of guidance to do good and avoid evil is a belief in Allaah the creator
Quran 18:11 Koran 18:11 Verse 18:11 Ayah 18:11 Ayat 18:11 Aya 18:11 Then We (Allaah) closed their hearing (and they slept) in the cave for a number of years.
Comment 1. The cave represents the grave.
Quran 18:12 Koran 18:12 Verse 18:12 Ayah 18:12 Ayat 18:12 Aya 18:12 And We (Allaah) awakened them so that We (Allaah) might show which of the two groups (of men) would be most accurate in calculating how much time had passed (during their sleep).
Comment 1. What happens in the grave?
The story of the seven sleepers represent sleeping in the grave with the question "how much time passed (between your death and your resurrection)" and the answer every person will say when they wake up on the Day of Resurrection is that death feels like “staying in sleep for one day or part of one day” in Quran 18:19.
Quran 18:13 Koran 18:13 Verse 18:13 Ayah 18:13 Ayat 18:13 Aya 18:13 We (Allaah) narrate their true story to you (Prophet Muhammad). They were young men who believed in their Lord (Allaah) and We (Allaah) increased them in (Allaah’s) guidance.
Comment 1. What is the truth?
Truth means these are not invented stories.
Truth means these are the stories inspired by belief in Allaah.
Truth means these stories can be found in the Books of Allaah, the Torah Taurat Jewish Bible and/or the Gospel Injil Christian Bible and/or other inspired writings.
Quran 12:111 Verse 12:111 "... It (the Quran) is not an invented story but it is a confirmation of what came before it (in the Scriptures of the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil) ..."
Quran 26:196 Verse 26:196 It (the revelations from Allaah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil).
Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allaah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allaah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.
1a. The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus.
This is a true story meaning it has not been invented.
Just as Allaah has used Jewish stories from Rabbis in the Quran to guide the Jews to the truth of the Quran, Allaah has done the same with this Christian story to guide the Christians to the truth of the Quran.
The story of the seven sleepers of Ephesus is in the story from humans recorded in 104 BH 521 CE 521 AD by a Christian bishop named Jacob of Serugh.
The story of the seven sleepers of Ephesus in Turkey is based on a story that had already existed meaning it was not a new invention but was based on an earlier story.
See http://orion.mscc.huji.ac.il/symposiums/13th/papers/Horst.pdf
1b. Why does Allaah use Jewish and Christian stories to guide Jews and Christians to the Quran?
Allaah loves the Jews.
Allaah loves the Jews with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Allaah loves the children of Israel.
Allaah loves the children of Israel with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Allaah loves the Christians.
Allaah loves the Christians with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.
Quran 28:53 Verse 28:53 And when it (the Quran) is recited to them (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil), they (those Jews and Christians) say, “We believe in it (the Koran Quran). It is the truth from our Lord (Allaah). Even before it (the Quran was revealed to us) we were of those (Jews and Christians) who submitted (to Allaah. The English word submitter is the Arabic word Muslim. Islam the religion means submission and Muslim the believer means submitter. Submitter and submission for the Muslim people is in Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allaah except Allaah …” and submitter and submission for the Jewish people is in Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allaah” and submitter and submission for the Christian people is in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allaah, and him only shall you serve” meaning Allaah inspired the same belief of Islam which is an Arabic word meaning submission, to Allaah in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and in others).
Quran 28:54 Verse 28:54 They (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil and also believe the Quran) shall be given their reward twice (in Quran 28:54 meaning twofold in Quran 34:37 meaning double in Quran 57:28) because they are steadfast (in their belief in Allaah) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (Allaah) have provided to them. (Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).
Note 1. Jews and Christians who follow their book and also believe the Quran will receive their reward twice in the Hereafter.
The good news message from Allaah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.
Note 2. The Allaah of the Jews, Christians and Muslims is the same Allaah.
Note 3. The Allaah of the Torah, Gospel and Koran is the same Allaah.
Comment 2. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
See Quran 18:1 comment.
Comment 3. The stories of the sleepers in Greek, Jewish and Christian tradition.
See http://orion.mscc.huji.ac.il/symposiums/13th/papers/Horst.pdf
Quran 18:14 Koran 18:14 Verse 18:14 Ayah 18:14 Ayat 18:14 Aya 18:14 And We (Allaah) strengthened their hearts (in firm belief) so that when they stood up they said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We pray to no god except Him (Allaah, the One who creates every creation), for (if we prayed to someone Allaah created) then we would show complete disbelief (in Allaah because Allaah is not anything that is created but the creator of every creation).
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is the story of faith in the existence of one creator and the hereafter.
Quran 18:15 Koran 18:15 Verse 18:15 Ayah 18:15 Ayat 18:15 Aya 18:15 (The young men who had fled to hide in the cave said), "Our people pray (to gods) other than Him (Allaah). Why do they not bring for them a clear authority (that shows they are allowed to pray to something that has been created)? Who does more sin than the person who invents a lie against Allaah (by praying to creations instead of praying to Allaah who created all the creations)?
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is the story of faith in the existence of one creator and the rejection of idol worship.
Quran 18:16 Koran 18:16 Verse 18:16 Ayah 18:16 Ayat 18:16 Aya 18:16 (The young men said to each another), "We have withdrawn from them (the idol worshippers) and what (created idols) they (mistakenly) pray to, instead of (correctly) praying to Allaah (who is the creator of every creation) so let us take shelter in the cave. Our Lord (Allaah) shall open a way for us from His (Allaah’s) Mercy and make our affairs easy (Allaah willing and Allaah did by sending them to sleep and providing them what they needed to survive)."
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is the story of faith in Allaah.
Quran 18:17 Koran 18:17 Verse 18:17 Ayah 18:17 Ayat 18:17 Aya 18:17 And (if you had been in the cave) you would have seen the Sun rise from the right side of their cave, and when it (the Sun) set, it moved across to the left side, while they slept inside the cave. That is one of the signs of Allaah. The person whom Allaah guides is rightly guided but the person whom He (Allaah) sends astray for that person you shall find no guiding friend who is able to lead them (to the right path).
Comment 1. No one can put on the correct path a person that Allaah has sent astray.
For example Allaah has made Satan Shaitan go astray until the Day of Judgement therefore no one can help Satan Shaitan to correct Satan’s way.
Comment 2. Allaah has decreed freedom of belief.
Why are humans free to decide their belief?
Allaah has given each human a life time to find their true belief.
Humans do not know if they are correctly guided or wrongly guided because each human is made to believe that their way of belief is the correct way.
The only judge of belief in Allaah is Allaah in the hereafter.
Apostasy in Islam.
In the Quran Allaah ordered freedom of religious belief 1400 years before the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
However incorrect understanding of the Quran and the hadith can cause wrongful killing of people in the name of Allaah and in the name of human hadith stories.

Quran 18:18 Koran 18:18 Verse 18:18 Ayah 18:18 Ayat 18:18 Aya 18:18 And you would have thought that they were awake (when you saw how they moved) while they were asleep. And We (Allaah) turned them on their right (side while they slept) and on their left sides (while they slept) and (made) their dog stretch his two forelegs at the entrance (of the cave like a guard dog). Had you looked at them, you would have runaway from them filled with fear of them (because the sleeping people and their dog appeared to be awake because they where being moved by Allaah's will, but they were sleeping and could not be awakened).
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is a story confirming creation is maintained by a creator.
Quran 18:19 Koran 18:19 Verse 18:19 Ayah 18:19 Ayat 18:19 Aya 18:19 And then We (Allaah) awakened them (from their sleep) to ask each other a question. One said, "How long have we stayed (here sleeping)?" They said, "We have stayed (maybe) a day or part of a day but only Our Lord (Allaah) knows how long we have stayed (here sleeping).” One of you go with this money to the town and find some good food to bring back (to the cave). Be careful and do not arouse any suspicion about you (in the town because we are still hiding from our people in this cave).
Note 1. Allaah begins the story of the seven sleepers after Quran 18:8.
Quran 18:8 Verse 18:8 And (when the hour of the end of the Earth comes) We (Allaah) shall make all that is on it (the earth) dust (as if nothing had existed there).
Note 2. The story of the 7 sleeps who sleep and wake up after 309 years and then say "We have stayed (maybe) a day or part of a day …” teach humans that death is like a sleep that feels no more than a day or part of a day between the time of death and waking up on the Day of Resurrection to confirm the meaning of Quran 2:259, Quran 7:187, Quran 18:19, Quran 18:21, Quran 20:103, Quran 20:104, Quran 23:113, Quran 30:55, Quran 46:35 and Quran 79:46.
Note 3. Allaah explains that the purpose of the story of the seven sleepers is to explain what happens between death represented by Quran 18:8 and the Day of Resurrection represented by waking up from what feels like a short sleep.
Quran 18:21 Verse 18:21 And We (Allaah) caused them to be found so that they (who found them), would know that the promise of Allaah is true and that there is no doubt about (the reality of) the Hour (of the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter on a new earth, a new land, a new ground).
Comment 1. What does Allaah teach us about the grave?
The cave of the seven sleepers represents the grave.
The Day of Resurrection is represented by the seven sleepers waking up after 309 years of sleeping.
The story of the seven sleepers in the cave starts after Quran 18:8 where the Earth is destroyed and shows what happens between the time of death on the earth and the time of resurrection on a new earth in the hereafter.
The story of the seven sleepers describes what happens in the grave and what people will say about the grave on the Day of Resurrection when every human both the wicked and the righteous will say that the time between death and resurrection feels like nothing but sleeping for only part of one day in Quran 23:113 or like only sleeping for one evening in Quran 79:46 or like only sleeping for one morning in Quran 79:46 or like only sleeping for one hour in Quran 30:55 or like only sleeping for ten hours in Quran 20:103.
The story ends in Quran 18:21 saying that the purpose of the story of the seven sleepers in the cave is to show that there is no doubt about the coming of the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
This story also explains why the Day of Resurrection is near for every human in every generation.
This story also explains why the Day of Resurrection is near for every human in every generation.
On the Day of Resurrection every human will testify that death feels like nothing but sleeping for one day or part of one day and only Allaah will know how much time passed between death and the Day of Resurrection.
Comment 2. There is no punishment in the grave.
The story of the seven people sleeping in the cave confirms Quran 20:103, 20:104, 30:55, 23:113 and 79:46 that resurrection from death to life on the Day of Resurrection will seem like a short sleep like sleeping for one hour or sleeping for part of a day.
See 1. Hadith punishment in the grave. Hadith torture in the grave. Hadith torment of the grave.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/hadith-punishment-in-the-grave
See 2. Quran 40:46 comments in Quran chapter 40.
Quran 18:20 Koran 18:20 Verse 18:20 Ayah 18:20 Ayat 18:20 Aya 18:20 Because if they (the idol worshippers) find out who you are they shall stone you (to death) or turn you back to their religion and then you shall never be successful (in the hereafter).
Comment 1. Allaah has decreed freedom of belief.
No human has the right to force another human to believe or disbelieve.
No human has the right to threaten another human to believe or disbelieve.
Only Allaah determines the belief of a human.
Only Allaah is the judge of the belief of a human.
The only judge of belief in Allaah is Allaah in the hereafter.
See Quran 18:17 comments.
Quran 18:21 Koran 18:21 Verse 18:21 Ayah 18:21 Ayat 18:21 Aya 18:21 And We (Allaah) caused them to be found so that they (who found them), would know that the promise of Allaah is true and that there is no doubt about (the reality of) the Hour (of the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter on a new earth, a new land, a new ground). When they (the people of the town) argued among themselves about this matter (of the people in the cave who had slept for 309 years in Quran 18:25 and were then resurrected from sleep and then died in sleep), they (one group of people) said, "Construct a structure (a shrine) over them (who are inside the cave), their Lord (Allaah) knows best about them (meaning Allaah knows all things because everything is by the will of Allaah Inshallah as Allaah advised in Quran 18:23 – 18:24 to show this is the correct decision)," Those who prevailed in the matter (were another group of people who) said, "We shall take (build) over them a place of worship" (and so in Ephesus in Turkey they built a House of prayer on top of the grave without saying Allaah knows all things because everything is by the will of Allaah Inshallah as Allaah advised in Quran 18:23 – 18:24 to show that this was the wrong decision because the building of churches on top of graves moved people away from Allaah and resulted in millions of Christians praying to dead human saints who have no power to hear prayer as that power belongs only to Allaah. The Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Palestine today in Israel and Palestine is an example of how a structure for the remembrance of a human and a House for the worship of Allaah are permitted when the two structures are physically separated. When Prophet Muhammad died he was buried next to a mosque in Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia not inside a mosque. “Masjidan” meaning “a place of worship” in Quran 18:21 is “a church.” “Masjidan” is used two times in the Quran. See Quran 9:107 which also uses the word “masjidan” meaning “a mosque” to explain the misuse of a Mosque in Yathrib Madinah which Allaah had revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Regarding the misuse of a mosque or any place of worship Allaah says in Quran 9:108 “Never stand in such a mosque” and in Quran 9:109 it is Allaah in the hereafter who judges humans and punishes humans for the misuse of places of worship. No human today has the knowledge of a prophet meaning it is not for a human to judge others for their belief or to punish others for their belief instead Allaah has ordered protection for every house of worship in Quran 2:114 and Quran 22:40 and Allaah will be the judge on the Day of Judgement because no one except Allaah knows what will be the belief of each human at their time of death meaning Allaah is the true judge of belief and not humans).
Comment 1. A church was built on the site of the 7 sleepers.
Before the time of Islam a church was built on the site of the 7 sleepers.
In Ephesus in Turkey Archaeologists found that the building of a church on the spot of the cave had begun by the middle of the fifth century around 177 BH 450 CE 450 AD.
See page 17 http://orion.mscc.huji.ac.il/symposiums/13th/papers/Horst.pdf
Comment 2. Allaah’s sign is the cave and the inscription confirming that the group proposing a structure (a shrine) over the cave was the correctly guided group.
Quran 18:9 Verse 18:9 Don’t you think that the people of the cave and the inscription (Raqeem, Er-Rakeem, Er-Raqim, Al-Rakim in Ephesus Turkey) that were among Our (Allaah’s) signs were a miracle (from Allaah)?
Note 1. Ar-Raqim is a tablet of stone on which the people of the town wrote the story of the people of the cave and placed it at the entrance of the cave.
Note 2. The sign from Allaah are the graves in a cave and an inscription at the entrance of the burial place that was written by the people of the town of Ephesus Turkey describing the miracle.
Comment 3. Why do some people kill humans and destroy mosques where humans are buried?
How much of your life have you used to teach one person the lesson in Quran 18:21?
Do you think Allaah rewards people for killing men women and children who do not have your understanding when you have done nothing to teach the correct way to those whom you kill?
3a. A sin cannot be corrected by committing another sin.
Those who kill people by exploding bombs in mosques, churches, synagogues and public places have sinned because killing innocent people is forbidden (Quran 5:32).
Whoever kills a person it is a crime equal to killing all of mankind (Quran 5:32).
Whoever saves a life has done a deed that is equal to saving all of mankind (Quran 5:32).
Whoever kills an innocent life has committed a terrible crime in the sight of Allaah (Quran 5:32).
Quran 5:32 Verse 5:32 Ayah 5:32 From that time (humans were warned not to murder and) We (Allaah) decreed on the children of Israel (through the inspiration of the teachers of the Jewish Talmud and confirmed for the Muslim in Quran 6:151) that whoever kills a soul (kills a life, kills a person) it is as if he has killed all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to warn humans against the great evil of killing one human soul) unless it is in retaliation for murder or for misbehaviour in the land. And whoever saves it (saves a life, saves a soul, saves a person) it is as if he has saved all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to teach humans the great goodness in the saving of one human soul). Our (Allaah’s) messengers came to them (the children of Israel) with clear arguments but still after that many of them continued to commit great crimes (by killing humans unlawfully) in the land (so this is a message from Allaah to the human not to commit the great crime of killing human life but instead to work to save human life).
Note 1. In the Judgment of Allaah the saving of one human life is a great deed because in the Judgment of Allaah it is like saving every human life on the earth.
Note 2. On the Day of Judgment whoever saved a life will be rewarded with a reward fitting for a person who had saved all humankind if Allaah wills.
Note 3. On the Day of Judgment whoever destroyed a life will be punished with a punishment fitting for a person who had destroyed all humankind if Allaah wills.
Note 4. Human life is equal in the sight of Allaah. Those who save all human life are among the righteous if Allaah wills.
Note 5. Human deeds are not equal in the sight of Allaah. Those who do good deeds to all people are among the righteous if Allaah wills.
Note 6. The saving of one life in this world no matter if that person is Muslim or non Muslim or the saving of one life by guiding a person to goodness so that they are successful in the hereafter is a great deed of goodness in the sight of Allaah.
Human life is equal in the eyes of Allaah.
Allaah’s order in Quran 5:32 to the children of Israel is based on the first murder on the earth which occurred long before the children of Israel existed.
That shows that this law of Allaah applies to all humans in all times who believe the word of Allaah.
This is because Allaah has made clear that Allaah regards one human life as equal to every human life that Allaah has created and it is for Allaah to judge on the Day of Judgement what each person did in the life that Allaah gives to each person.
Human deeds are not equal in the eyes of Allaah.
Allaah will judge on the Day of Judgement what each person did in the life that Allaah gives to each person.
That judgement is based on their deeds.
Quran 9:94 Verse 9:94 They (the hypocrites) shall make excuse to you (Muslims) when you return to them (after Tabouk). Say (to them) “Make no excuse because we do not believe you. Allaah has told us news about you. Allaah and His (Allaah’s) Messenger shall observe your deeds and then you shall be brought back (resurrected) to Him (Allaah) who knows the seen and the unseen and He (Allaah) shall tell you what you used to do.
Quran 9:105 Verse 9:105 And say (to them), Do (as you will) and Allaah shall see your deeds and (so shall) His (Allaah’s) Messenger and the believers, and you shall be brought back to the knower of the unseen and the seen and (in the Hereafter) He (Allaah) shall tell you what you used to do.
3b. Only a prophet of Allaah is protected from wrong doing.
Quran 48:25 Verse 48:25 They (the stone idol worshippers of Mecca Makkah Arabia today Saudi Arabia) are the ones who disbelieved (in Allaah) and turned you (Prophet Muhammad) away from the Sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid-al-Haram in Mecca Makkah) and your offerings (of 70 camels to Allaah for the feeding of the poor which) were prevented from reaching their place of sacrifice. (You would have been allowed to enter Mecca Makkah and fight for the sake of Allaah to worship Allaah at Allaah’s Sacred Mosque in Mecca Makkah) if it were not that there were believing men and women who you did not know that you may have trampled (with your offerings of 70 camels that would have killed both the believers who you did not know and the non believers because of a stampede by those animals caused by fighting that Allaah knew would occur) and so unknowingly you would have an evil deed against you, (However Allaah stopped you from entering Mecca Makkah) so that Allaah might bring to His (Allaah’s) mercy whom He (Allaah) willed (by preventing you from making sin through your actions which would have killed innocent people). If they (the believers who you did not know and the wrongdoers who had sinned against Allaah) had been apart (so that only the wrongdoers who had sinned against Allaah were present) then We (Allaah) would have punished those of them who disbelieved with a painful punishment (by allowing you into Mecca Makkah and allowing the animal stampede to occur to punish the stone idol worshippers who forbid your worship of Allaah at the Sacred Mosque Al-Masjid-al-Haram in Mecca Makkah).
3c. Why has Allaah given life to people with different beliefs?
Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allaah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allaah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allaah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allaah does require that every religion worship only Allaah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allaah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allaah like the Muslims worship only Allaah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allaah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allaah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allaah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allaah and Allaah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allaah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allaah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allaah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allaah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allaah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allaah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allaah” because they were all created by Allaah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allaah.”
Note 12. Allaah tests humans to show who is best in behaviour.
Quran 7:129 Verse 7:129 They (the Children of Israel) said (to Prophet Moses Musa), “We suffered harm before you came to us and since you have come to us.” He (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “It may be that your Lord is going to destroy your enemy (in Egypt and in Canaan) and make you inherit the land (by punishing the Pharaoh Firon of Egypt in Quran 7:136 and by replacing the idol worshipping people in Canaan with the worship of Allaah by the children of Israel in Quran 5:20 - 5:26, 7:137) so that He (Allaah) may see how you (the children of Israel) behave.
Note 1. Why does Allaah give people land?
Allaah gives land so that Allaah may see how humans behave.
1. Do you show mercy in the land?
2. Do you forgive in the land?
3. Do you make peace in the land?
4. Do you deal fairly and with justice in the land?
5. In the hereafter no person shall be able to deny that Allaah’s judgement of them will be correct because they shall be shown the good and the evil that they did.
Quran 8:33 Verse 8:33 But Allaah would not punish them (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) while you (Prophet Muhammad) were with them, nor shall He (Allaah) punish them while they (might) seek forgiveness.
Quran 9:6 Verse 9:6 And if any of the idol worshippers asks for your protection (because they do not want to fight Muslims), then (Prophet Muhammad) protect that person (the idol worshipper) so they may hear the Word of Allaah and afterward take that person to their place of safety (to their home which is located with their people so that they might think about Allaah). That (introduction to the word of Allaah) is because they are a people who do not know (Allaah).
Note 1. Muslims must protect stone idol worshippers who do not fight against them.
Muslims must protect all people both believers and disbelievers who do not fight against them.
Muslims must protect all civilians both believers and disbelievers because they are not fighting.
Quran 18:7 Verse 18:7 We (Allaah) have put all that is on the earth as decoration (that is pleasing to humans and jinn) so that We (Allaah) may test them (humans and jinn) to show which among them is best in deeds (behavior).
Note 1. Allaah tests humans to show who is best in behaviour.
Comment 3. Places of worship are a sign of Allaah.
Quran 22:40 Verse 22:40 – "... Had it not been for Allaah’s repelling some people by means of others then monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques in which the name of Allaah is often mentioned would certainly have been pulled down. Allaah helps the one who helps Him (Allaah by protecting every monastery, church, synagogue and mosque where Allaah is worshipped). Allaah is strong and almighty.
Note 1. Monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques are signs of Allaah.
Allaah orders humans to protect every monastery, church, synagogue and mosque.
Comment 4. What are Sunni and Shia?
Sunni and Shia believe in one Allaah who is the creator of every creation.
Sunni and Shia believe that Prophet Muhammad is the last of the Prophets of Allaah.
Sunni and Shia believe that the Torah Taurat and Psalms Zabur and Gospel Injil and Koran Quran are the Books of Allaah.
Sunni and Shia believe in the day of resurrection and judgement.
Sunni and Shia pray to Allaah five times each day.
Sunni and Shia attend mosques.
Sunni and Shia go to the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca Makkah.
Sunni and Shia are two of the many traditions in Islam.
Sunni and Shia are two traditions in the same religion of Islam.
Sunni and Shia are two traditions of the many traditions of Muslims.
Sunni and Shia are two traditions of the same religion of Muslims.
Differences in Sunni and Shia are differences in tradition, not differences in religion.
Comment 5. Ending war between Sunni and Shia.
Peace between Sunni and Shia.
Understanding brings peace.
Sunni brothers and Sunni sisters and Sunni children make peace not war with your Shia brothers and Shia sisters and Shia children.
The solution to ending war between Sunni and Shia is in Quran 18:21 Inshallah.
Go with love and peace in your heart and use nice words in discussing the meaning of Quran 18:21
Quran 4:114 Verse 4:114 There is no good in most of their (the people’s) private conversation except in the person who calls for charity, kindness and peace making between humans, he (the person) who does this (charity, kindness and peace making between humans) and seeks the approval of Allaah, We (Allaah) shall give them a great reward (in Paradise in the Hereafter).
Quran 5:8 Verse 5:8 “... do not let (your) hatred of a people make you act unjustly. Act justly, that is nearer to righteousness and fear Allaah. Allaah is aware of what you do.”
Quran 49:10 Verse 49:10 The believers are brothers. Therefore make peace between your brothers and fear Allaah so that you may obtain mercy (on the Day of Judgement).
Comment 6. Do not destroy structures of remembrance such as the Dome on the Rock in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine.
Do not destroy structures of remembrance such as the shine and grave of Prophet Muhammad in Medina Madinah Saudi Arabia.
Do not destroy structures of remembrance that belong to other beliefs.
If you fear that future generations might become misled then put an inscription at the entrance to the structure like was done for the seven sleepers in the cave. On your inscription put Quran 18:9 to show that Allaah blesses your action and Quran 18:21 to explain what Allaah allows and does not allow and Quran 18:23 - 18:24 to explain Quran 18:21 further and Quran 22:40 to remind future generations that Allaah absolutely forbids the destruction of every house of worship. This is action that is good and pure in righteousness.
Exploding bombs to destroy structures and kill innocent humans is an evil action.
Quran 18:22 Koran 18:22 Verse 18:22 Ayah 18:22 Ayat 18:22 Aya 18:22 (Some people) say there were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (other people) say there were five, the dog being the sixth, (Allaah reveals they are) guessing at what they do not know; (and other people) say there were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say (Prophet Muhammad), "My Lord (Allaah) knows best their number and no one (in Yathrib Arabia) knows them but a few." So do not argue (about their number) except with the clear proof (which is revealed by Allaah in Quran 18:22). And do not ask for an opinion from any of them (the Jews of Yathrib Arabia and the Christians) about the people of the cave (because no benefit comes from speculation and conjecture especially when Allaah has already revealed their number in Quran 18:22 but Allaah has not mentioned them in the Torah Taurat revealed to the Jews or in the Gospel Injil revealed to the Christians).
Comment 1. How many were sleeping in the cave for 309 years?
Some people say there were three youth, the dog being the fourth among them and other people say there were five youth, the dog being the sixth among them. Allaah reveals these people are guessing about a matter that they do not know.
Other people say there were seven youth, the dog being the eighth among them. This is the truth because everything mentioned previosly was the speculation of people who did not know. Allaah reveals people that give this answer are correct.
Allaah gives 3 possible answers without mentioning a fourth possibility.
Allaah weakens the first 2 possible answers by saying they are guessing about things of which they have no knowledge.
Allaah remains silent after the third possible answer indicating that is the correct answer.
There were seven people and the dog was the eighth in the cave.
Comment 2. Christian stories from humans confirm there were seven sleepers but there is no mention of a dog.
Quran 18:22 Verse 18:22 "... "My Lord (Allaah) knows best their number and no one (in Yathrib Arabia) knows them but a few" ..."
See page 1 and 14 http://orion.mscc.huji.ac.il/symposiums/13th/papers/Horst.pdf
Quran 18:23 Koran 18:23 Verse 18:23 Ayah 18:23 Ayat 18:23 Aya 18:23 Never say about anything, "I shall do it tomorrow." – (Continued Quran 18:24).
Comment 1. See Quran 18:24 comments.
Quran 18:24 Koran 18:24 Verse 18:24 Ayah 18:24 Ayat 18:24 Aya 18:24 – Except (by then saying), “If Allaah wills Inshallah.” And remember your Lord (Allaah) when you forget (to say “If Allaah wills Inshallah”) and say, “My Lord guide me on a better course if You (Allaah) will.”
Comment 1. Does Allaah allow the building of a structure over a grave?
Does Allaah allow the building of a structure over a tomb?
In the story of the seven sleepers in the cave a group of people from the town of Ephesus in Turkey argued with two opinions about what they should do; one group proposed they should build a structure over the cave (a shrine) adding Allaah knows best about them (because everything is by the will of Allaah Inshallah). This acknowledgement of Allaah as Allaah has advised in Quran 18:23 – 18:24 shows that this is the correct decision.
See Quran 18:21
Note 1. Allaah confirms this understanding in Quran 18:9 and Quran 18:21.
Quran 18:9 Verse 18:9 Verse 18:9 Don’t you think that the people of the cave and the inscription (Raqeem, Er-Rakeem, Er-Raqim, Al-Rakim in Ephesus Turkey) that were among Our (Allaah’s) signs were a miracle (from Allaah to remind humans of their resurrection)?
Note 2. Ar-Raqim is a tablet of stone on which the people of the town wrote the story of the people of the cave and placed it at the entrance of the cave.
Note 3. The sign from Allaah are the graves in a cave and an inscription at the entrance of the burial place that was written by the people of the town of Ephesus Turkey describing the miracle.
Comment 2. Does Allaah allow the building of a house of worship over a grave?
Does Allaah allow the building of a house of worship over a tomb?
In the story of the seven sleepers in the cave a group of people from the town of Ephesus in Turkey argued with two opinions about what they should do; another group proposed they should build a place for worshipping Allaah over their graves. They did not acknowledge Allaah by saying Allaah knows best about them (because everything is by the will of Allaah Inshallah) as Allaah advised in Quran 18:23 – 18:24 showing that this was the wrong decision because the building of churches on top of graves moved people away from Allaah and resulted in millions of Christians praying to dead human saints who have no power to hear prayer as that power belongs only to Allaah..
See Quran 18:21
Note 1. Allaah confirms this understanding by the absence of graves inside synagogues.
Synagogues were established before churches and mosques.
Quran 18:25 Koran 18:25 Verse 18:25 Ayah 18:25 Ayat 18:25 Aya 18:25 And they (the sleeping youth and their dog) had been in the cave for three hundred and nine years.
Comment 1. There is disagreement in Christian stories from humans about how long the 7 people sleeped.
Quran 18:22 Verse 18:22 "... "My Lord (Allaah) knows best their number and no one (in Yathrib Arabia) knows them but a few" ..."
Note 1. Seven people slept in a cave for 309 years.
Seven people and a dog slept in a cave for 309 years.
Quran 18:26 Koran 18:26 Verse 18:26 Ayah 18:26 Ayat 18:26 Aya 18:26 Say, "Allaah knows best how long they stayed. With Him (Allaah) is the unseen (knowledge of all that is) in the heavens and the earth. How clearly He (Allaah) sees and hears (everything). They (the humans) have no protecting friend other than Him (Allaah), and He (Allaah) does not share His (Allaah’s) rule (decision making) with any partner."
Comment 1. The story of the people who slept in the cave is a story confirming that all knowledge of the past and present and future is with the creator of the creation.
Comment 2. Allaah has no son or daughter or wife or partners with whom Allaah shares decisions.
Only creations need off-springs and partners.
Allaah the creator has no need for off-springs and partners because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
When Allaah uses words such as son its meaning is servant.
When Allaah uses words such as son of Allaah its meaning is servant of Allaah.
When Allaah uses words such as begotten son its meaning is to give Allaah’s favour and blessing to a servant of Allaah.
When Allaah uses words such as only begotten son its meaning is to give favour, blessing and grace to the only servant of Allaah who has supreme authority to speak on the Earth as a prophet or messenger in the name of Allaah to the people in his time.
Comment 3. The story of the people who slept in the cave is a story confirming that there is some knowledge that no one knows except Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 (Jesus Isa who was the prophet and messenger of Allaah 2000 years ago said) "But as to that day or that hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus Isa who is a servant of Allaah), but only the Father (Allaah who is the creator of every creation).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Son mean?
Son means servant of Allaah.
The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 (Jesus Isa who was the prophet and messenger of Allaah 2000 years ago said) But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (Allaah) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus Isa who is a servant of Allaah).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Father mean?
Father means Allaah.
Allaah is the father of every creation.
Quran 7:187 Verse 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (Allaah) only. He (Allaah) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with Allaah only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
Note 1. Only Allaah knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only Allaah knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses Musa and Jesus Isa and Muhammad are not Allaah and the Holy Spirit is not Allaah because both the humans (Moses Musa and Jesus Isa and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of Allaah angel Gabriel Jibril) are created by Allaah.
Quran 18:27 Koran 18:27 Verse 18:27 Ayah 18:27 Ayat 18:27 Aya 18:27 And recite (Prophet Muhammad) what has been revealed to you of the Book (the Quran) of your Lord (Allaah). No one can change His (Allaah’s) Words and you will find no refuge (in the hereafter) other than with Him (Allaah).
Comment 1. The Books of Allaah.
Stories claiming the Torah Taurat is corrupted contradict all the teachings in the Quran telling us that the Jewish people have the Torah and telling us that the Torah is from Allaah and telling us that no one can change the word of Allaah because that is the proof that Allaah is real for every human until the Day of Judgement.
The Jewish people judge scripture as true if it confirms the Torah Taurat.
Many Muslims say the Quran does not agree with the Torah Taurat and therefore to a Jew it means the Quran cannot be from Allaah.
If Muslims said the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat it would mean the Quran is from Allaah but this is not what many Muslims are telling the Jewish people today.
1400 years ago Prophet Muhammad said the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning confirms the Torah Taurat is correct as proof the Quran is from Allaah but this is not the message many Muslims say to Jewish people today.
Rabbi Tovia Singer has studied the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil and Quran and explains that the Jews have the scripture and therefore whenever anyone claims they also have the scripture the Jewish person compares their scripture to all other scriptures and if another scripture agrees with the Jewish scripture the Jew will applaud it in other words Jews are not asking if someone is or is not a prophet but a Jew asks do scriptures like the Gospel and the Quran which both say they confirm the Torah Taurat agree or disagree with the Jewish scripture.
When a Jew reads in the Quran that Allaah is only one the Jew applauds it meaning it agrees with the Torah.
When a Jew reads some Christian opinions that Allaah is a Trinity the Jew does not applaud it meaning it disagrees with the Torah Taurat.
See 1. Quran 28:52 comments in Quran chapter 28.
See 2. Quran 28:53 comments in Quran chapter 28.
See 3. Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.
See 4. Quran 4:162 comments in Quran chapter 4.
Comment 2. Evidence for the truth is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct.
Quran 3:93 Ayah 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true."
Note 1. The proof of truth according to the Quran is the Torah Taurat meaning no one changed the Torah Taurat.
Note 2. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat is with the Jewish people and the Quran confirms no one can change the word of Allaah.
Note 3. Allaah tells the Jews to recite the Torah Taurat meaning the Jews have the Torah Taurat and no one changed it.
Note 4. If anyone can prove the Torah Taurat was changed then they have found the proof that Allaah does not exist.
Note 5. Allaah says the proof of truth is the Quran confirming what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat meaning there are no contradictions between the Quran which is with the Muslim people and the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people.
Quran 2:41 Ayah 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people forever.
Quran 4:136 Ayah 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … His (Allaah’s) Books, … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).
Comment 3. Why can humans not change the Torah Taurat?
Quran 28:47 Verse 28:47 And if We (Allaah) had not sent you Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers of Mecca Makkah Arabia then) if a disaster came to them because of their deeds, they might say (in the Hereafter), "Our Lord (Allaah), Why did You (Allaah) not send a messenger to us so that we might have followed Your (Allaah’s) revelations and become believers?”
Note 1. The Torah Taurat are the words revealed by Allaah therefore humans do not have the power to change them.
If the words in the Torah Taurat have been changed then humans in the hereafter could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
If the Torah Taurat is not protected then anyone with a Torah Taurat would reject the other books of Allaah because they were different to what was revealed in the Torah Taurat.
Comment 4. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
A. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.
See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.
B. Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
C. How did Allaah save Jesus.
See 1. Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.
See 2. Quran 29:57 comments in Quran chapter 29.
D. The second coming of Jesus and every other human is on the Day of Resurrection.
See Quran 79:7 comments in Quran chapter 79.
E. Examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allaah in the Quran.
See Quran 25:30 comments in Quran chapter 25.
F. Allaah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allaah is real.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/allaah-protects-the-taurat-injil-and-quran
G. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.
See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.
Quran 18:28 Koran 18:28 Verse 18:28 Ayah 18:28 Ayat 18:28 Aya 18:28 And keep yourself (Prophet Muhammad) with those who pray to their Lord (Allaah) in the morning and evening, seeking His (Allaah’s) approval and do not let your eyes overlook them by a desire for the attractions of the life of the world and do not obey those whose heart We (Allaah) have made not to think about remembering Us (Allaah) and who follow their own desires and who break the law.
Comment 1. Muslims pray to Allaah five times a day.
One example might be:
The Fajr prayer before sunrise 5 am.
The Zuhr prayer after the midday sun 12.30 pm.
The Asr prayer near 3.30 pm.
The Maghrib prayer after sunset 5.45 pm.
The Isha prayer near 7.30 pm.
Quran 18:29 Koran 18:29 Verse 18:29 Ayah 18:29 Ayat 18:29 Aya 18:29 And say, “The truth (of the Quran) is from your Lord (Allaah)" so whoever wishes let them believe and whoever wishes let them disbelieve. We (Allaah) have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls shall surround them (in the Hereafter). And if they ask for relief they shall be granted boiling water that scalds their faces. Awful is the drink and an evil place to live (is Hell, the home for evildoers).
Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allaah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allaah by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against Allaah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).
Comment 1. Allaah gives humans freedom of belief.
Allaah gives humans freedom of religion.
Islam gives humans freedom of belief.
Islam gives humans freedom of religion.
Quran 18:29, Verse 18:29 “…whoever wishes let them believe and whoever wishes let them disbelieve ….”
See 1. Apostasy in Islam.
In the Quran Allaah ordered freedom of religious belief 1400 years before the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
However incorrect understanding of the Quran and the hadith can cause wrongful killing of people in the name of Allaah and in the name of human hadith stories.

Quran 18:30 Koran 18:30 Verse 18:30 Ayah 18:30 Ayat 18:30 Aya 18:30 For those who believe and do good work We (Allaah) do not allow the reward of their good deeds to become lost. – (Continued Quran 18:31).
Quran 18:31 Koran 18:31 Verse 18:31 Ayah 18:31 Ayat 18:31 Aya 18:31 For them shall be Gardens of Eden under which rivers flow as their eternal residence (in Paradise) and they shall be adorned with gold bracelets and green clothes of fine silk and gold embroidery, (and they shall be) reclining on raised couches. Excellent is this reward, as a resting place for the good (doers).
Quran 18:32 Koran 18:32 Verse 18:32 Ayah 18:32 Ayat 18:32 Aya 18:32 (Prophet Muhammad) give them (the people) an example of two men; We (Allaah) granted to one of them two gardens of grapes and We (Allaah) surrounded them with date palm trees and put between them (fields of) crops.
Quran 18:33 Koran 18:33 Verse 18:33 Ayah 18:33 Ayat 18:33 Aya 18:33 Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and was not lacking in anything and We (Allaah) caused a river to flow within them.
Quran 18:34 Koran 18:34 Verse 18:34 Ayah 18:34 Ayat 18:34 Aya 18:34 And after harvesting an abundant amount of fruit, he said to his companion, “I have more wealth than you and (I am) stronger in (the number) of my followers (of children)."
Quran 18:35 Koran 18:35 Verse 18:35 Ayah 18:35 Ayat 18:35 Aya 18:35 And while he had wronged himself (by being arrogant and ungrateful to Allaah) he entered his garden (admiring it) and said, “I do not think that all this (wealth) shall ever perish.”
Quran 18:36 Koran 18:36 Verse 18:36 Ayah 18:36 Ayat 18:36 Aya 18:36 (The one who was arrogant and ungrateful to Allaah continued speaking) "And I do not think that the Hour (of the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter) shall ever occur but if (it does and) I am brought back to my Lord (Allaah) then I shall surely be in a place that is better than this (place).”
Quran 18:37 Koran 18:37 Verse 18:37 Ayah 18:37 Ayat 18:37 Aya 18:37 His companion said to him, “Do you disbelieve in Him (Allaah) who created you out of dust (through Prophet Adam the father of humans) and then out of a semen drop (mixed between your father and your mother) and then He (Allaah) formed you into a man (in your mother’s womb)?”
Quran 18:38 Koran 18:38 Verse 18:38 Ayah 18:38 Ayat 18:38 Aya 18:38 (His companion continued talking saying, “You might not believe) but for me He (my Lord) is Allaah and I do not associate my Lord (Allaah) with (the worship of) others (by praying to creations that are created by Allaah)."
Comment 1. Allaah is the creator and the ruler of all creation.
Allaah does not share Allaah’s power to hear prayer with anyone.
Idols, sons, saints, angels, daughters, Satan Shaitan, prophets, messengers are all created by Allaah and have no power to hear prayer.
Prayer to the creations of Allaah is called idol worship because such prayer assigns a partner to Allaah but Allaah has no need for any partners.
Prayer to the creations of Allaah is called idol worship because such prayer associates others with Allaah but Allaah has no need for associates.
Allaah has no partners and no associates because only Allaah has the power to hear and answer prayer.
It is only creations who have a need for partners or associates in their relationships.
Quran 18:39 Koran 18:39 Verse 18:39 Ayah 18:39 Ayat 18:39 Aya 18:39 (His companion continued talking saying), And when you entered your garden, why did you not say, “What Allaah wills (shall happen, to show you are grateful to Allaah).” Certainly there is no power except with Allaah, though you see me as less than you in wealth and children.
Quran 18:40 Koran 18:40 Verse 18:40 Ayah 18:40 Ayat 18:40 Aya 18:40 (His companion continued talking saying), it may be that my Lord (Allaah) shall give me something better than your garden and that He (Allaah) shall send thunderbolts from heaven on your garden and it shall become a smooth ground (without any vegetation),
Quran 18:41 Koran 18:41 Verse 18:41 Ayah 18:41 Ayat 18:41 Aya 18:41 Or the water (in the garden) shall disappear underground so that you cannot find it.
Quran 18:42 Koran 18:42 Verse 18:42 Ayah 18:42 Ayat 18:42 Aya 18:42 (And so it happened that) his fruits were ruined and he gestured his hands in sorrow over what he had spent (of his time and wealth) on it (his garden) with its destroyed trellises and he could only say, “I wish I had not associated my Lord (Allaah) with (the worship of) others (by praying to creations that are created by Allaah)."
Comment 1. See Quran 18:38 comments.
Quran 18:43 Koran 18:43 Verse 18:43 Ayah 18:43 Ayat 18:43 Aya 18:43 And he had no group of men that could help him against (what) Allaah (had willed) nor could he defend himself (against the will of Allaah).
Quran 18:44 Koran 18:44 Verse 18:44 Ayah 18:44 Ayat 18:44 Aya 18:44 There (on the Day of Judgement), the power to protect (a person against receiving punishment) shall be with Allaah alone (who is) the True Allaah (and all others to whom people pray such as idols, sons, saints, angels, daughters, Satan Shaitan, prophets, messengers shall all deny that they have the power to hear prayer). He (Allaah) is best in rewarding (the righteous) and the best (for those with faith who believe that Allaah determines every) outcome.
Quran 18:45 Koran 18:45 Verse 18:45 Ayah 18:45 Ayat 18:45 Aya 18:45 And (Prophet Muhammad) give them (the people) the example of the life of this world as being like the rain which We (Allaah) send down from the sky and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it (the wet soil) but (later) it (the vegitation) becomes dry broken pieces that are scattered by the wind. Allaah is able to do everything.
Quran 18:46 Koran 18:46 Verse 18:46 Ayah 18:46 Ayat 18:46 Aya 18:46 Wealth and children are adornments in the life of this world. But the good deeds that last, are better to your Lord (Allaah) for reward and better for (one’s) hope (of a good outcome in the Hereafter).
Quran 18:47 Koran 18:47 Verse 18:47 Ayah 18:47 Ayat 18:47 Aya 18:47 And (warn of) the (Last) Day (of the Earth) when We (Allaah) shall remove the mountains and (in the hereafter) you shall see the earth (the ground) as a flat plain (of land) and We (Allaah) shall gather them (humans) all together (in their resurrection to life after they had died) and not leave anyone behind.
Quran 18:48 Koran 18:48 Verse 18:48 Ayah 18:48 Ayat 18:48 Aya 18:48 And they (all humankind) shall be in front of your Lord (Allaah) in rows (and Allaah shall say), "Now you have come to Us (Allaah, after your death) as We (Allaah) first created you (in your first life with the promise that the Day of Resurrection is true). But you did not (all) believe that We (Allaah) had appointed a meeting for you (with Allaah in the hereafter)."
Note 1. Quran 27:82 Verse 27:82 And when the word (of Allaah that decrees who shall be misguided because they have chosen to follow evil) is fulfilled against them (they are made deaf to Allaah and blind to Allaah in their hearts) then We (Allaah) bring to them a creature from the Earth (a human messenger of Allaah) telling them (the warning that is delivered by every messenger of Allaah which Allaah tells us is) "That (all) people did not believe Our (Allaah's) revelations with certainty (as they should)."
Quran 18:49 Koran 18:49 Verse 18:49 Ayah 18:49 Ayat 18:49 Aya 18:49 And the record of their deeds shall be placed (in the hand of each person), and you shall see the sinful in fear of what is (recorded) there. They shall say, “What kind of Book is this that leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account of everything (we did in our life)." And they shall find all that they did (in their life) placed before them (in the Hereafter) and your Lord (Allaah) shall treat no one with injustice (on the Day of Judgement).
Quran 18:50 Koran 18:50 Verse 18:50 Ayah 18:50 Ayat 18:50 Aya 18:50 And (mention) when We (Allaah) said to the angels, “Prostrate (bow down) in front of Adam,” and they all prostrated (bowed down), except Iblis. He (Iblis) was a jinn who rebelled against his Lord's (Allaah’s) command (and became known as Satan Shaitan the one who is cursed by Allaah by having lost the mercy of Allaah). Shall you choose him (Satan Shaitan) and his (rebellious) descendants (the Devils) for your allies instead of Me (Allaah) when they (Satan Shaitan and his devils) are your enemy? It is a disaster (for you) to exchange (the help of Allaah) for (the help of) evil-doers.
Comment 1. Prostrating is a sign of respect.
Allaah teaches angels to respect humans.
Allaah teaches angels to serve humans under the guidance of Allaah.
Comment 2. Satan Shaitan is the first jinn.
Adam is the first human.
Quran 18:51 Koran 18:51 Verse 18:51 Ayah 18:51 Ayat 18:51 Aya 18:51 I (Allaah) did not make them (Iblis Satan Shaitan and his rebellious descendants the devils) a witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth nor (were they witness) to their own creation, nor would I (Allaah) have taken the misguided (Iblis Satan and his rebellious descendants the devils) as helpers (in creating the creation).
Comment 1. Satan Shaitan is the first jinn.
Adam is the first human.
1a. The Hebrew Bible. The Jewish Bible, The Tanakh.
Job 38:4 Where were you when I (Allaah) laid the foundations of the Earth? Say, if you know.
Job 38:5 Who determined the dimensions of it (the Earth, say), if you know? Or who stretched the line on it (as a base line from where the first construction of the Earth began)?
Job 38:6 Where on it were the foundations of it (the Earth) secured? Or who laid the corner-stone (that started the construction) of it (the Earth),
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together (meaning when the stars came into creation), and all the sons of Allaah (meaning servants of Allaah who are the angels) shouted for joy?
Note 1. The Hebrew Bible and the Quran confirm that Iblis Satan Shaitan was not a witness to the creation.
When the angels witnessed the creation of the stars Iblis Satan Shaitan had not been created.
When the angels witnessed the creation of the stars jinn and humans had not been created.
Quran 18:52 Koran 18:52 Verse 18:52 Ayah 18:52 Ayat 18:52 Aya 18:52 And (mention) the Day (of Judgement) when He (Allaah) shall say, "Pray (for help to) those (so-called) partners of Mine (Allaah’s so called partners) whom you prayed to (such as the angels, sons, daughters, saints, idols, Satan Shaitan, devils and other creations that you used to pray to for help during your life)." Then they (who prayed to what Allaah created instead of praying to Allaah) shall pray to them (angels, sons, daughters, saints, idols, Satan Shaitan, devils and other creations), but they shall not answer them (because only Allaah the creator has the power to hear prayer), and We (Allaah) shall put a barrier between them (between those who mistakenly prayed to what Allaah created and those who correctly prayed only to Allaah).
Comment 1. Praying to the creations of Allaah is called idol worship.
Praying to anything Allaah has created is called idol worship.
Praying to anyone Allaah has created is called idol worship.
See 18:4 – 18:6, 18:102, 18:110.
Quran 18:53 Koran 18:53 Verse 18:53 Ayah 18:53 Ayat 18:53 Aya 18:53 And the guilty (who used to pray to what Allaah created instead of praying to Allaah the creator) shall see the Fire (of Hell in the hereafter) and they shall know that they are about to fall into it and they shall find no way of escape from there.
Quran 18:54 Koran 18:54 Verse 18:54 Ayah 18:54 Ayat 18:54 Aya 18:54 And We (Allaah) have shown to humans in this Quran all kinds of examples but people (who disbelieve) have always been inclined to dispute (the word of Allaah).
Quran 18:55 Koran 18:55 Verse 18:55 Ayah 18:55 Ayat 18:55 Aya 18:55 And nothing prevents people from believing when the guidance (of Allaah) comes to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord (Allaah) unless they want the example (given in Quran 18:59 and in the Gospel Injil and in the Torah Taurat of the judgment of Allaah) on the people of the past to be (also) put on them or if the punishment (of Allaah) should come in front of them (in the Hereafter when it is too late to say, “Now I believe in Allaah and I ask your forgiveness”).
Comment 1. Allaah will forgive any sin if the human asks for forgiveness.
Comment 2. Why is the life of a disbeliever very important?
Allaah gives every human a life time to discover the meaning of life.
The life of a disbeliever is very important because the disbeliever is given a life time to discover the purpose of life.
Allaah forgives every sin including the sin of idol worship if humans ask for Allaah’s forgiveness.
In Islam this life is very important because this life determines what shall happen in the hereafter.
The life of a disbeliever is very important because while they have life they have the chance to find correct guidance.
Quran 5:8 Verse 5:8 “... do not let (your) hatred of a people make you act unjustly. Act justly, that is nearer to righteousness and fear Allaah. Allaah is aware of what you do.”
Quran 8:32 Verse 8:32 And they (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) said, “O Allaah, If this is the truth from you then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful punishment.”
Quran 8:33 Verse 8:33 But Allaah would not punish them (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) while you (Prophet Muhammad) were with them, nor shall He (Allaah) punish them while they (might) seek forgiveness.
Quran 18:55 Verse 18:55 And nothing prevents people from believing when the guidance (of Allaah) comes to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord (Allaah) unless they want the example (given in Quran 18:59 and in the Gospel Injil and in the Torah Taurat of the judgment of Allaah) on the people of the past to be (also) put on them or if the punishment (of Allaah) should come in front of them (in the Hereafter when it is too late to say, “Now I believe in Allaah and I ask your forgiveness”).
Video: Everyone is a potential Muslim.

Forgive disbelievers in this life like you want Allaah to forgive you in the next life.
Quran 45:14 Verse 45:14 Say (Prophet Muhammad) to those who believe (in Allaah that) they (should) forgive those who do not expect the Days of Allaah (in the hereafter, meaning forgive the disbelievers, forgive the non believers, forgive the stone idol worshippers in Mecca, forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah) so that He (Allaah) may reward (the righteous) people for what they earn (in reward for the hereafter by obeying Allaah’s command that the people who believe in Allaah should forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah so that you forgive the disbelievers in your life in the same way that you wish Allaah to forgive you in the next life in the hereafter).
Note 1. Allaah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.
Note 2. Allaah teaches humans to follow the example of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the way of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the path of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allaah teaches humans to follow the cause of Allaah to be merciful and forgiving.
Note 3. Forgive disbelieves in this world just as you would like Allaah to forgive you in the next world (the hereafter).
Note 4. Verses that Allaah revealed in the Quran during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Quran just as the verses that Allaah revealed in the Torah Taurat during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Canaan today Israel and Palestine do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Torah Taurat.
All of Allaah’s verses carry a message of wisdom for humankind.
Some verses give guidance in times of war and other verses give guidance in times of peace.
The correct interpretation of each verse in the Books of Allaah gives knowledge and wisdom and guidance to whoever Allaah wills.
What is the purpose of life?

Quran 18:56 Koran 18:56 Verse 18:56 Ayah 18:56 Ayat 18:56 Aya 18:56 And We (Allaah) did not send messengers except to deliver the good news (of the reward of Paradise in the Hereafter for the righteous) and to give warning (of punishment in Hell in the Hereafter for evildoers). But those who disbelieve, dispute with false argument to make the truth seem untrue. And they treat My (Allaah’s) verses and warnings as a thing to ridicule.
Quran 18:57 Koran 18:57 Verse 18:57 Ayah 18:57 Ayat 18:57 Aya 18:57 And who does more wrong than the person who is reminded of the verses of His Lord (Allaah) but turns away from them (the verses of Allaah) and forgets what (deeds) their hands have made. We (Allaah) have placed a covering to close their hearts incase they should understand it (the Quran), and deafness in their ears. And if you (Prophet Muhammad) invite them to guidance, even then they shall never be guided (because Allaah has willed that they be among the misguided).
Comment 1. Allaah gives humans freedom of religion.
Islam gives humans freedom of belief.
Islam gives humans freedom of religion.
Quran 18:29, Verse 18:29 “…whoever wishes let them believe and whoever wishes let them disbelieve ….”
1a. Allaah tests humans to show who is best in behavior.
Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allaah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allaah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allaah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allaah does require that every religion worship only Allaah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allaah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allaah like the Muslims worship only Allaah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allaah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allaah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allaah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allaah and Allaah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allaah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allaah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allaah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allaah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allaah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allaah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allaah” because they were all created by Allaah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allaah.”
See 1. Apostasy in Islam.
In the Quran Allaah ordered freedom of religious belief 1400 years before the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
However incorrect understanding of the Quran and the hadith can cause wrongful killing of people in the name of Allaah and in the name of human hadith stories.

Quran 18:58 Koran 18:58 Verse 18:58 Ayah 18:58 Ayat 18:58 Aya 18:58 Your Lord (Allaah) is forgiving and full of mercy. If He (Allaah) imposed blame for what they have done in (sin in) their life (by immediately giving punishment) then He (Allaah) would have hastened their punishment. But they have their appointed (life) time, after which (it shall be too late to say, “Now I believe in Allaah and I ask your forgiveness” because) they shall find no escape (in the Hereafter for the evil they did in their life).
Comment 1. Why is it too late to say sorry in the hereafter?
To say sorry in the hereafter is not the same as saying sorry in your first life.
To say sorry in the hereafter is to be sorry for yourself.
To say sorry on the Earth is to say sorry to those you have wronged.
Quran 18:59 Koran 18:59 Verse 18:59 Ayah 18:59 Ayat 18:59 Aya 18:59 And We (Allaah) destroyed those towns (the people in the time of Prophet Noah Nuh in a great flood, the people of A’ad in a great wind in the time of Prophet Eber Hud, the people of Thamud Samood in a great earthquke in the time of Prophet Saleh Salih, the people of Sodom in a great rain of volcanic stones in the time of Prophet Lot Lut, the people of Midian Madyan in a great earthquake in the time of Prophet Jethro Shoaib, the Pharaoh Firon of Egypt and his Army drowned in the Red Sea in the time of Prophet Moses Musa) when they did wrong and We (Allaah) had appointed a fixed time for their destruction.
Quran 18:60 Koran 18:60 Verse 18:60 Ayah 18:60 Ayat 18:60 Aya 18:60 And (mention) when Prophet Moses Musa said to his servant, "I shall not give up (travelling and searching for knowledge) until I reach the junction of the two waters or even if it takes a long time (to find that knowledge)."
Comment 1. Quran 18:60 describes the search for knowledge by Prophet Moses Musa no matter how far he must travel to find that knowledge and no matter how much time it takes for him to find that knowledge.
Quran 18:61 Koran 18:61 Verse 18:61 Ayah 18:61 Ayat 18:61 Aya 18:61 And when they reach the junction (of the two waters) between them they forgot about their fish and it (the fish escaped from the basket that they were carrying and) slipped into the water and got away.
Comment 1. In Quran 18:61 the fish is a symbol for the correct path to knowledge. Prophet Moses Musa continued travelling but now he was on the wrong path.
Quran 18:62 Koran 18:62 Verse 18:62 Ayah 18:62 Ayat 18:62 Aya 18:62 And when they had gone further, he Prophet Moses Musa said to his servant, “Bring us our breakfast. This has been a very tiring journey.”
Comment 1. In Quran 18:62 the fish represents the path to the knowledge that Prophet Moses Musa is seeking.
Quran 18:63 Koran 18:63 Verse 18:63 Ayah 18:63 Ayat 18:63 Aya 18:63 He (the servant) replied, “Did you see (what happened) when we rested on the rock? I forgot the fish (there). No one but Satan Shaitan caused me to forget to mention it to you (when we were there), it (the fish) swam through the water in an amazing way.
Comment 1. In Quran 18:63 the fish represents the knowledge that Prophet Moses Musa is seeking and we are told that Satan Shaitan had moved Prophet Moses Musa’s away from the correct path to that knowledge.
Quran 18:64 Koran 18:64 Verse 18:64 Ayah 18:64 Ayat 18:64 Aya 18:64 He (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “That (path to knowledge that is shown to us by that fish) is what we have been seeking. So they turned back and walked along the path from where they had come.”
Comment 1. In Quran 18:64 Prophet Moses Musa returns to the path of knowledge that is indicated by the fish.
Quran 18:65 Koran 18:65 Verse 18:65 Ayah 18:65 Ayat 18:65 Aya 18:65 Then they found one of Our (Allaah’s) servants (The Green one al-Khidar) to whom We (Allaah) had given Our (Allaah’s) mercy and had taught him knowledge (of future events) from Us (Allaah’s).
Quran 18:66 Koran 18:66 Verse 18:66 Ayah 18:66 Ayat 18:66 Aya 18:66 Prophet Moses Musa said to him (the man with knowledge of Allaah’s existence, al-Khidar) “May I follow you so that you may teach me the knowledge that you have been taught?”
Quran 18:67 Koran 18:67 Verse 18:67 Ayah 18:67 Ayat 18:67 Aya 18:67 He (Al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events) said, "You shall not be able to be patient with me.”
Quran 18:68 Koran 18:68 Verse 18:68 Ayah 18:68 Ayat 18:68 Aya 18:68 "And how can you have patience about things for which you have no knowledge.”
Comment 1. Patience is the main lesson in this story.
Only patience can overcome a lack of human knowledge.
Quran 18:69 Koran 18:69 Verse 18:69 Ayah 18:69 Ayat 18:69 Aya 18:69 Prophet Moses Musa said, "If Allaah wills then you shall find me patient and I shall not disobey you in anything."
Comment 1. Here the will of Allaah is contrasted with the disobedience of humans.
Quran 18:68 tells us that only patience can overcome a lack of human knowledge and this shall be shown in the story that follows.
Quran 18:70 Koran 18:70 Verse 18:70 Ayah 18:70 Ayat 18:70 Aya 18:70 He (Al-Khidar) said, “If you (Prophet Moses Musa) go with me then do not ask me about anything until I (first) mention it to you.”
Quran 18:71 Koran 18:71 Verse 18:71 Ayah 18:71 Ayat 18:71 Aya 18:71 So they both proceeded until they were in the ship and then he (Al-Khidar) made a hole in it. (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “Have you made a hole to drown the people that are here (on this ship)? You have done a dreadful thing.”
Quran 18:72 Koran 18:72 Verse 18:72 Ayah 18:72 Ayat 18:72 Aya 18:72 He (Al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events) answered, “Did I not tell you (Prophet Moses Musa) that you shall not be able to be patient with me?”
Quran 18:73 Koran 18:73 Verse 18:73 Ayah 18:73 Ayat 18:73 Aya 18:73 (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not be hard on me for my mistake.”
Quran 18:74 Koran 18:74 Verse 18:74 Ayah 18:74 Ayat 18:74 Aya 18:74 So they both proceeded until they met a boy and he (Al-Khidar) killed him. (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “Why have you killed an innocent person who has not killed anyone? You have done a terrible thing.”
Quran 18:75 Koran 18:75 Verse 18:75 Ayah 18:75 Ayat 18:75 Aya 18:75 He (al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events) answered, “Did I not tell you (Prophet Moses Musa) that you shall not be able to be patient with me?”
Quran 18:76 Koran 18:76 Verse 18:76 Ayah 18:75 Ayat 18:76 Aya 18:76 (Prophet Moses Musa) said, "If I ask you anything after this then do not keep me with you. Forgive me (one more time).”
Quran 18:77 Koran 18:77 Verse 18:77 Ayah 18:77 Ayat 18:77 Aya 18:77 So they both proceeded until they came to a town’s people whom they asked for food but they refused to treat them as guests. And they found there a wall that was about to collapse and he (al-Khidar) repaired it. (Prophet Moses Musa) said, “If you wished then you could have taken payment for (repairing) it.”
Quran 18:78 Koran 18:78 Verse 18:78 Ayah 18:78 Ayat 18:78 Aya 18:78 (Al-Khidar) said, "This is the (time for the) separation between you and me, I shall tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold your patience.
Quran 18:79 Koran 18:79 Verse 18:79 Ayah 18:79 Ayat 18:79 Aya 18:79 (Al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events said), “Regarding the ship, it belonged to (poor people) working in the sea. I wished to damage it because following them was a king who seized every ship by force.”
Quran 18:80 Koran 18:80 Verse 18:80 Ayah 18:80 Ayat 18:80 Aya 18:80 (Al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events said), “Regarding the boy, his parents were believers and we feared that he would burden them by transgression (through his misbehavior and rebellion) and his disbelief (in Allaah that caused him to do what was evil).” – (Continued Quran 18:81).
Quran 18:81 Koran 18:81 Verse 18:81 Ayah 18:81 Ayat 18:81 Aya 18:81 – “And we intended that their Lord (Allaah) should change him for them for one who is better in righteousness and near to (Allaah’s) mercy.”
Comment 1. Quran 18:80 and Quran 18:81 describe a punishment that Prophet Moses Musa revealed in Torah Deuteronomy 21:18 – 21:21.
Comment 2. Quran 18:80 and Quran 18:81 are confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 21:18 - 21:21.
Deuteronomy 21:18 (In the Laws revealed by Prophet Moses Musa) if a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, that shall not listen to the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother and although they punish him, (still he) shall not listen to them.
Deuteronomy 21:19 Then his mother and his father shall bring him (the son) to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.
Deuteronomy 21:20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, “This is our son who is stubborn and rebellious, he does not listen to our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.”
Deuteronomy 21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones until he is dead, this is how you shall take away the evil from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
The command in Deuteronomy 21:18-21:21 is a command for the Jewish people in the Torah.
Commands in the Torah involving the death penalty are a warning to help people avoid bad behaviour and are not placed in the Torah except to help people return to good behaviour and this is why the death penalty is rare in Judaism.
Quran 2:106 Verse 2:106 Ayah 2:106 (Allaah says in 1 Samuel 15:29 Allaah does not change His mind promises covenants agreements because only humans change their mind promises covenants agreements so the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad about the Torah and the Quran. Allaah reveals) We (Allaah) do not abolish a verse (in the Torah for the Jewish people) or let it be forgotten (by the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as Allaah promised in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20). We (Allaah) bring (to the Muslims in the Quran) something better than it or similar to it (confirming the Torah which is in the hands of the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 2:40-2:41 and explaining the story of Jesus which is in the four reports that are in the hands of the Christian people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 5:46-5:47 and Allaah told the Jewish people to observe the Torah Taurat and told the Christians to observe the Gospel Injil in Quran 5:68. Allaah reminded the Jewish people in the Quran to observe the Sabbath and confirmed Prophet Ezra is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah. Allaah reminded the Christian people in the Quran that Prophet Jesus is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah). Do you not know that Allaah is capable of everything? (including protecting the Jewish Scriptures that are with the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as shown in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 where Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48. This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2 “And Allaah said: Take now your son, your only son” who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert, “whom you love” Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son and reminding him of his love for these sons, “even” namely, that is “Isaac Ishaq and go into the land of Moriah” today in the Temple and Al-Aqsa mosque area in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine; “and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I Allaah will tell you of.” The proof Allaah is real is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct in Quran 2:41 “And believe in what I Allaah have revealed” in the Quran “that confirms what you already have” in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 3:93 “… Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it as evidence if what you say is true" and in Quran 5:43 “How is it that they come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” and Quran 5:68 “… You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so hold tightly to what Allaah is teaching in the Quran and beware of stories which contradict the Books of Allaah. Allaah explains the story of Jesus which is in the hands of the Christian people by explaining in the Quran what the human eye could not see without adding anything to the story in the Gospel of what the human eye saw in the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in Quran 3:144 see Quran 5:75, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 see Quran 39:42, Quran 5:75 see Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 see Quran 7:6, Quran 7:6 see Quran 5:117, Quran 21:95 see Quran 23:99 – 23:100, Quran 33:40 see Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark 13:5 – 13:6, 13:21 – 13:22 and Quran 39:42 see Quran 4:158. In Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75 see “passed away” in the Quran always means died see in Quran 2:134 and Quran 2:141 and Quran 7:38 and Quran 13:30 and Quran 41:25 and Quran 46:17. The Quran gives humans freedom to find their religion).
Note 1. In Quran 2:106 Allaah says the Quran is similar to what is with the Jewish people or better and this is explained in Quran 13:39 where Allaah does not include in the Quran some laws that are binding only on the Jewish people.
Comment 3. Allaah replaced Torah Deuteronomy 21:18 - 21:21 with freedom of belief in the Quran.
Quran 13:39 Verse 13:39 Ayah 13:39 (In 1 Samuel 15:29 Allaah does not change His mind promises covenants agreements because only humans change their mind promises covenants agreements so the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad about the Torah and the Quran. Allaah revealed that Allaah confirms His covenant with the Jewish people in Quran 2:40-2:41 which is the Torah Taurat until the Day of Judgement as Allaah promised in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Allaah revealed that) Allaah eliminates (from the Quran the laws which are only binding on the Jewish people such as the Sabbath Day) and confirms what He (Allaah) wills (in the Quran which confirms the Torah which is in the hands of the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 2:40-2:41 and explaining the story of Jesus which is in the four reports that are in the hands of the Christian people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 5:46-5:47 and Allaah told the Jewish people to observe the Torah Taurat and told the Christians to observe the Gospel Injil in Quran 5:68. Allaah reminded the Jewish people in the Quran to observe the Sabbath and confirmed Prophet Ezra is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah. Allaah reminded the Christian people in the Quran that Prophet Jesus is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah) and with Him (Allaah) is the Mother of the Book (the Preserved Tablet, Al-Lauh al-Mahfuz which contains the basis of each Scripture as Allaah intended in the Torah Taurat for the Jews and the four reports about Jesus Isa in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which are with the Christians and the Quran which is with the Muslims as explained in Quran 2:106, Quran 5:48 and Quran 7:170. Allaah protects the Jewish Scriptures that are with the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as shown in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 where Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48. This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2 “And Allaah said: Take now your son, your only son” who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert, “whom you love” Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son and reminding him of his love for these sons, “even” namely, that is “Isaac Ishaq and go into the land of Moriah” today in the Temple and Al-Aqsa mosque area in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine; “and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I Allaah will tell you of.” The proof Allaah is real is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct in Quran 2:41 “And believe in what I Allaah have revealed” in the Quran “that confirms what you already have” in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 3:93 “… Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it as evidence if what you say is true" and in Quran 5:43 “How is it that they come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” and Quran 5:68 “… You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so hold tightly to what Allaah is teaching in the Quran and beware of stories which contradict the Books of Allaah. Allaah explains the story of Jesus which is in the hands of the Christian people by explaining in the Quran what the human eye could not see without adding anything to the story in the Gospel of what the human eye saw in the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in Quran 3:144 see Quran 5:75, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 see Quran 39:42, Quran 5:75 see Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 see Quran 7:6, Quran 7:6 see Quran 5:117, Quran 21:95 see Quran 23:99 – 23:100, Quran 33:40 see Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark 13:5 – 13:6, 13:21 – 13:22 and Quran 39:42 see Quran 4:158. In Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75 see “passed away” in the Quran always means died see in Quran 2:134 and Quran 2:141 and Quran 7:38 and Quran 13:30 and Quran 41:25 and Quran 46:17. The Quran gives humans freedom to find their religion).
Note 1. In Quran 2:106 Allaah says the Quran is similar to what is with the Jewish people or better and this is explained in Quran 13:39 where Allaah does not include in the Quran some laws that are binding only on the Jewish people.
Comment 4. Allaah replaced stoning to death in the Torah Taurat with the mercy of life in the Koran Quran.
See. Quran chapter 24 comments in Quran chapter 24.
Quran 18:82 Koran 18:82 Verse 18:82 Ayah 18:82 Ayat 18:82 Aya 18:82 (Al-Khidar who had knowledge of future events said), regarding the wall (that was in ruin), it belonged to two orphan boys in the town, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them and their father had been a righteous man. So your Lord (Allaah) intended that they (the orphan boys) should reach the age of their full strength (the age of maturity) and receive their treasure as a mercy from their Lord (Allaah) and so I did not do it (repair the collapsing wall) on my own accord (but I repaired it so that the treasure under the wall would remain hidden as Allaah had willed me to do). This is the interpretation of what you (Prophet Moses Musa) could not (patiently) bear.
Comment 1. Quran 18:78-18:82 shows that the man called Al-Khidar is teaching Moses the lesson of patience meaning do not be quick to judge but listen and learn from Al-Khidar who is a messenger of Allaah who speaks the words of Allaah meaning Al-Khidar speaks and does the judgements of Allaah as described in Deuteronomy 18:18 which Moses will be doing.
This story is teaching the lesson that no one has the knowledge to judge the judgements of Allaah meaning when Allaah has decreed things that are beyond human control or understanding you should be patient while striving for wisdom.
Comment 2. Allaah revealed to Prophet Muhammad corrections to some Rabbinic Jewish literature.
Some Jewish stories from Rabbis had major errors in their lessons and in their commentary about Allaah.
Allaah’s revelation is correct in Allaah’s Torah Taurat but was faulty in some Rabbinic Jewish literature which are stories from humans.
2a. In the Quran, Allaah corrected errors in some Rabbinic Jewish literature.
The correction of some Jewish stories from Rabbis in the Quran showed the Jews in Yathrib Arabia the correct way to tell that story.
Quran 2:102 Verse 2:102 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia today in Medina Saudi Arabia) believe what the evil ones said about the special powers of Prophet Solomon Suleiman during the time of his kingdom (they said Solomon's power was magic from evil ones as is written in Jewish rabbinic literature). (The truth is) Prophet Solomon Suleiman had faith (and all his powers were from Allaah). It was the evil ones who were disbelievers who taught magic that had been revealed to Angel Harut and Angel Marut in Babylon. These Angels (when they taught the first humans this knowledge) first said “We are a test for your faith, do not disbelieve in Allaah (by learning magic from us) and to those who disbelieved they taught the magic that caused dispute between husband and wife and caused harm only with Allaah’s permission. They (the disbelievers) learned what harmed them (by learning what was evil) and not what profited them (by having faith in Allaah and doing what was good) and they knew (because they were warned) that buyers of it (magic) would have no happiness in the Hereafter. If they only knew how terrible the price was (for learning the magic of doing evil) for which they sold their souls (for a place in fire in the hereafter).
Note 1. In Quran 2:102 Allaah corrected a faulty story in Jewish rabbinic literature which was well known to the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia.
Note 2. See more about why Allaah put Rabbinic Jewish literature in the Koran in Quran 34:12 – 34:14 comments.
Comment 3. Allaah revealed to Prophet Muhammad confirmation of some Rabbinic Jewish literature.
The story of Al-Khidar and Prophet Moses Musa is a confirmation for the Jews of a similar story that was part of the Jewish Rabbinical literature in Yathrib Arabia that existed at the time of Prophet Muhammad.
This story is told as a confirmation to the Jews of Yathrib that the Allaah of the Torah Taurat and the Koran Quran are the same Allaah.
3a. The following story is a Jewish story written by Rabbi Joshua ben Levi around 435 BH – 383 BH 200 – 250 CE using characters in the Torah Taurat to teach a lesson in righteousness.
The rabbi who was a friend of Prophet Elijah Elias was asked what favor he might wish.
The rabbi answered only that he be able to join Prophet Elijah Elias in his wanderings.
Prophet Elijah Elias granted his wish only if he refrained from asking any questions about any of the prophet’s actions.
He agreed and they began their journey.
The first place they came to was the house of an elderly couple who were so poor they had only one old cow.
The old couple gave of their hospitality as best they could.
The next morning, as the travelers left, Prophet Elijah Elias prayed that the old cow would die and it did.
The second place they came to was the home of a wealthy man.
He had no patience for his visitors and chased them away with the reprimand that they should get jobs and not beg from honest people.
As they were leaving, they passed the man’s wall and saw that it was crumbling.
Prophet Elijah Elias prayed that the wall be repaired and it was (repaired).
Next, they came to a wealthy synagogue.
They were allowed to spend the night with only the smallest of provisions.
When they left, Prophet Elijah Elias prayed that every member of the synagogue might become a leader.
Finally, they came to a very poor synagogue.
Here they were treated with great courtesy and hospitality.
When they left, Prophet Elijah Elias prayed that Allaah might give them a single wise leader.
At this Rabbi Joshua could no longer hold back.
He demanded of Prophet Elijah Elias an explanation of his actions.
At the house of the old couple, Prophet Elijah Elias knew that the Angel of Death was coming for the old woman. So he prayed that Allaah might have the angel take the cow instead.
At the house of the wealthy man, there was a great treasure hidden in the crumbling wall. Prophet Elijah Elias prayed that the wall be restored thus keeping the treasure away from the miser.
The story ends with a moral: A synagogue with many leaders will be ruined by many arguments. A town with a single wise leader will be guided to success and prosperity.
“Know then, that if you see an evil-doer prosper, it is not always to their advantage, and if a righteous person suffers need and distress, do not think that Allaah is unjust.”
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah#Rabbi_Joshua_ben_Levi
3b. Some Jews in Arabia today Saudi Arabia were confused by the similarity of these two stories because instead of Prophet Elijah Elias and Rabbi Joshua ben Levi, the Quran had revealed Prophet Moses Musa and Joshua Yusha the assistant to Prophet Moses Musa in the Muslim story.
Since Rabbinic Jewish literature are stories from humans that use the names of the people in the Torah Taurat to teach lessons in righteousness it is the lesson and not the names of the people that are important in Jewish stories from Rabbis.
So when Allaah reveals a story in the Quran to correct a faulty Jewish story from a Rabbi by correcting it in Quran 2:102 Verse 2:102 or approving of a well told Jewish story from a Rabbi by revealing a similar style that confirm lessons in the Rabbinic Jewish literature from humans such as in Quran 18:60 – 18:82 it is a blessing from Allaah confirming the teaching of that lesson.
Prophet Moses Musa and Prophet Elijah Elias are both righteous leaders.
Joshua Yusha and Rabbi Joshua ben Levi are both righteous followers.
Allaah has not copied the story in Rabbinic Jewish literature and then made an error in their names in the Quran.
This is clear in Quran 18:80 and Quran 18:81 where what Prophet Moses Musa has learned is confirmed by Allaah in Torah Deuteronomy 21:18 – 21:21.
The stories were similar enough to be a confirmation to the Jews in Arabia that their story was a good story but the story was also sufficiently different to present new lessons in the style that Jews recognized from their human stories in their Rabbinic Jewish literature.
To teach patience in the Quran Allaah uses the example of Prophet Moses Musa and his assistant Joshua who were well known to the new Arab Muslim instead of the less known or unknown Rabbi Joshua and Prophet Elijah Elias.
The Jews of Yathrib would know that in story telling by Rabbis it is the lesson that is important and not the famous names they have borrowed from the stories of Allaah in the Jewish Bible.
Jews in Arabia who believed in Allaah recognized both the difference and similarities between what was in Jewish human stories and what was in Allaah’s Quran and that strengthened their faith because they had understanding of its meaning and Allaah’s lesson.
Jews in Arabia who had doubt in Allaah also recognized both the difference and similarities between what was in Jewish human stories and what was in Allaah’s Quran but that only strengthened their doubt in Allaah because they did not understand that Allaah’s purpose in this story was to reach out to both the new Arab Muslim and the Jews.

Comment 4. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
See Quran 18:1 comments.
Quran 18:83 Koran 18:83 Verse 18:83 Ayah 18:83 Ayat 18:83 Aya 18:83 They (the people) ask you (Prophet Muhammad) concerning King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain. Say, "I shall recite to you some of his story."
Comment 1. Who was King Cyrus?
Who was Dhul-Qarnain?
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain of Persia, today Iran 1200 – 1152 BH (600 BCE – 530 BCE, 600 BC – 530 BC) or 1198 – 1152 BH (576 BCE – 530 BCE, 576 BC – 530 BC).
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain established the Persian empire and ruled from 1281 – 1152 BH (559 – 530 BCE, 559 – 530 BC).
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain was known as King of Aryavarta, King of Persia, King of Anshan, King of Media, King of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, King of the four corners of the World.
Cyrus the Great created the largest empire the world had seen up to that time.
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain conquered most of southwest Asia and much of central Asia, parts of Europe and the Caucasus.
In 1169 – 1168 BH (547 – 546 BCE, 547 – 546 BC) King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain overthrew King Croesus of Lydia in western Asia.
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain took Babylon today Iraq and freed the Jews who had been taken there when Jerusalem Al-Quds and the first Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount had been destroyed.
King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain made a royal decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland and to rebuild the Temple, the second Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Comment 2. Dhul-Qarnain means two horns. What are the two horns?
Tanakh Jewish scripture Daniel 8:20 The ram which you saw having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar (the son of King Nabonidus and commander of the Babylonian military forces, this story is told just before the fall of the city of Babylon to King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) a vision appeared to me, Daniel Daniyal.
Daniel 8:2 And I saw in the vision that I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, that I was by the stream Ulai.
Daniel 8:3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, that, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Daniel 8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Daniel 8:5 And as I was thinking, a male-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touched the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.
Daniel 8:7 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns (meaning he conquered the kings of Media and Persia); and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Daniel 8:8 And the male-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.
Daniel 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
Daniel 8:11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel 8:12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.
Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'
Daniel 8:14 And he said to me: 'To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'
Daniel 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel Daniyal, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, I saw, there stood in front of me the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: '(Angel) Gabriel Jibril, make this man (Daniel Daniyal) understand the vision.'
Daniel 8:17 So he (Angel Gabriel Jibril) came near where I (Daniel) stood; and when he (Angel Gabriel) came, I (Daniel) was terrified, and fell on my face; but he said to me: “Understand, son of man (Daniel); that the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
Daniel 8:18 Now as he (Angel Gabriel) was speaking with me, I (Daniel Daniyal) fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he (Angel Gabriel Jibril) touched me, and put me upright.
Daniel 8:19 And he (Angel Gabriel Jibril) said: “Look, I (Angel Gabriel Jibril) will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
Daniel 8:20 The ram which you saw having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:21 And the rough male-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Daniel 8:22 And as for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
Daniel 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.
Daniel 8:25 And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but you, shut you up the vision; for it belongs to many days to come.”
Daniel 8:27 And I Daniel Daniyal fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but did not understand it.
Quran 18:84 Koran 18:84 Verse 18:84 Ayah 18:84 Ayat 18:84 Aya 18:84 We (Allaah) gave him (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) a high position in the earth, and We (Allaah) gave him of everything a means (to achieve it).
Comment 1. King Cyrus in Isaiah.
Tanakh Jewish scripture Isaiah 45:13 I aroused him (King Cyrus) with righteousness and all his ways I will straighten out. He shall build My city (Jerusalem) and free My exiles (the children of Israel in Babylon) neither for a price nor for a bribe” said the Lord of Hosts (Allaah).
Comment 2. King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain in Ezra 1:1 – 1:4, 1:7 – 1:11.
Tanakh Jewish scripture Ezra 1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain king of Persia, that the word of the Lord (Allaah) by the mouth of Prophet Jeremiah Irmiya might be accomplished, the Lord (Allaah) stirred up the spirit of Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying:
Ezra 1:2 Cyrus (Dhul-Qarnain) king of Persia says: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord (Allaah), the Allaah of heaven has given to me; and He (Allaah) has charged me to build Him (Allaah) a house in Jerusalem Al-Quds, which is in Judah (today Israel and Palestine).
Ezra 1:3 Whosoever there is among you of all His (Allaah’s) people- his Allaah be with him -let him go up to Jerusalem Al-Quds, which is in Judah (today Israel and Palestine), and build the house of the Lord, the Allaah of Israel, He is the Allaah who (whose House) is in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Ezra 1:4 And whoever is left, in any place where he travels, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill-offering for the house of Allaah which is in Jerusalem Al-Quds.'
Ezra 1:7 Also Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain the king brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord (Allaah), which (Former King) Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Jerusalem Al-Quds, (when that former King had destroyed the city and the first Jewish Temple), and had put them in the house of his (idol) gods (in Babylon today in Iraq);
Ezra 1:8 even those did Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain king of Persia bring out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah (today Israel and Palestine).
Ezra 1:9 And this is the number of them: thirty basins of gold, a thousand basins of silver, nine and twenty (920) knives;
Ezra 1:10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
Ezra 1:11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred (5400). All these did Sheshbazzar (the prince of Judah, today Israel and Palestine) bring up, when they who had been in captivity were brought up from Babylon (today Iraq) to Jerusalem Al-Quds (today Israel and Palestine).
Quran 18:85 Koran 18:85 Verse 18:85 Ayah 18:85 Ayat 18:85 Aya 18:85 So he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) followed a course.
Quran 18:86 Koran 18:86 Verse 18:86 Ayah 18:86 Ayat 18:86 Aya 18:86 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) reached the place where the sun set (the west coast of Lydia in the kingdom in Lydia, today in Turkey), he found it (the sun) setting on dark muddy water (the Black Sea). And he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) found a people near it (the west coast of Lydia on the Black Sea). We (Allaah) said "O King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain, Either punish them or treat them with kindness."
Photo. Sunset on the black Sea.
Note 1. Notice that the sail of a ship looks like a mountain on the horizon of the sea in Quran 55:24 in the same way as sunset looks like the sun setting on the horizon of the sea in Quran 18:86 meaning the Quran is describing what the human eye can see in everyday life so that people might think about the creation of the world.

Quran 18:89 Koran 18:89 Verse 18:89 Ayah 18:89 Ayat 18:89 Aya 18:89 (Having achieved peace) he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) then followed another course.

Quran 18:91 Koran 18:91 Verse 18:91 Ayah 18:91 Ayat 18:91 Aya 18:91 That is how it was. And We (Allaah) provided to him (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) all that he had in knowledge.
Quran 18:92 Koran 18:92 Verse 18:92 Ayah 18:92 Ayat 18:92 Aya 18:92 Then he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) followed another course.

Comment 1. Who are Gog Ya'juj and Magog Ma'juj?
Gog and Magog is the name of an invader and the land from which he comes.
Gog Ya'juj means roof in Hebrew and people of the roof are those who put their trust in the physical protections of this world instead of Allaah.

Quran 18:96 Koran 18:96 Verse 18:96 Ayah 18:96 Ayat 18:96 Aya 18:96 "Give me pieces of iron," then, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) had filled up the gap between the two mountain sides, he said, "(Light a fire and) blow (air on it)” until it is red hot, (then) he said, "Bring me molten metal to pour over it."
Comment 1. Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish scripture confirms Allaah in the Quran by showing the power given by Allaah to King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain.
The anointed meaning the messiah King Cyrus the King of Persia freed the children of Israel from their exile in Babylon and invited them to return to Judah today in Israel and Palestine to build the Second Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Isaiah 45:1 So said the Lord (Allaah) to His (Allaah’s) anointed one (anointed means messiah), to (messiah King) Cyrus, whose right hand I (Allaah) held (meaning guided), to flatten nations before him, and the loins of kings I (Allaah) will loosen, to open portals before him, and gates shall not be closed.
Isaiah 45:2 I (Allaah) will go before you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain), and make the crooked places (the difficult things) straight (easy to achieve); I (Allaah) will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut off bars of iron;
Isaiah 45:3 And I (Allaah) will give you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places so that you may know that I am the Lord (Allaah), who call you (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) by your name, even (as I am) the Allaah of Israel.
Isaiah 45:4 For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel My chosen one (Jacob “the servant” is the father of the children of Israel who are “the chosen one”), I (Allaah) have called you by your name (Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1), I (Allaah) gave you your surnamed, though you (Cyrus) had not known Me (Allaah).
Isaiah 45:5 I am the Lord (Allaah), and there is none else, beside Me there is no Allaah; I have strengthened you, though you have not known Me (Allaah);
Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun (in the East), and from the West, that there is none beside Me; I am the Lord (Allaah); and there is none else;
Isaiah 45:7 I (Allaah) form the light, and create darkness; I (Allaah) make peace, and create evil; I (Allaah) am the Lord (Allaah), that does all these things.
Daniel 9:25 (In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2HQvIUibD8 Daniel is among the children of Israel in exile in Babylon thinking that the prophecy in Jeremiah 25:12 and Jeremiah 29:10 are the same 70 years but is made to understand that they are two different overlapping 70 year periods and says in Daniel 9:2 “ .. I thought about the calculations … since the destruction of Jerusalem” meaning the prophecy in Jeremiah 29:10 to restore the people and build the second temple in Jerusalem is to be calculated from the date of the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem which was on AM 3338 Hebrew calendar date. Angel Gabriel reveals to Daniel) And you shall know and understand that from the going out of the word (of Jeremiah that begins when Jerusalem and the First Temple were destroyed in Daniel 9:2 “ .. I thought about the calculations … since the destruction of Jerusalem” and the time that will pass) to restore and build Jerusalem (and the Second Temple of Allaah is) until an anointed prince (in Isaiah 45:1 King Cyrus the King of Persia will be] seven weeks (of years 7x7= 49 years which happened counting from after the destruction of the first temple in AM 3338+49 years+3.5 years*= AM 3390.5 Hebrew date when King Cyrus invited the children of Israel to return from their exile in Babylon to Jerusalem in Judah today in Israel and Palestine and rebuild the Second Temple of Allaah in Isaiah 44:28 - 45:1, Isaiah 45:13, Ezra 1:1-1:3 and 2 Chronicles 36:22-36:23), and (for) sixty-two weeks (of years 62x7= 434 years) it (Jerusalem) will return and be built street (by street) and moat (by moat), but in troubled times (where the Second Temple period would be a time of political and spiritual conflict between the Jewish people and between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire. * Daniel 9:24 tells us there are 70 weeks however the number of weeks in Daniel 9:25 is 62+7= 69 weeks meaning 1 week which is 1x7=7 years is divided in half = 3.5 years so that part of it is used here and part of it is used there. Daniel 9:25 mentions only whole weeks meaning the missing 1 week representing 7 years has been divided into two halves or two parts to give the calculations using the Hebrew calendar).

Isaiah 42:16 And I (Allaah) will lead the blind (the Israelites who were exiled to Babylon when the first temple was destroyed in Jerusalem) by a way (of a non-Jewish messiah named King Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1) that they did not know, in paths (that come from the decree of Cyrus in Isaiah 44:28 to free the exiles and tell them to return to Judah and build the second Temple in Jerusalem by the orders of messiah King Cyrus) that they did not know I (Allaah) will lead them; I will make darkness light before them (in Isaiah 45:3), and difficult paths into straight paths (in Isaiah 45:2). These things I (Allaah) will do, and I will not forsake them (the Israelites who were exiled to Babylon).
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind (among you) but My servant (Israel)? Or deaf (among you) as My messenger (messiah King Cyrus) that I will send? He (the Israelite) who was blind (to Allaah) is like he who received his payment (meaning his punishment through the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem and his exile to Babylon has cleaned him of sin), and he (the messiah King Cyrus) who was blind (to Allaah, had his eyes open to Allaah so that messiah King Cyrus) is like the (willing) servant of Allaah.

Note 1. Jewish Hebrew Bible Ezekiel 38:20 so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls (birds) of the heaven (sky), and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people that are on the face of the earth, shall shake at My (Allaah’s) presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

Then We (Allaah) shall gather them (humans) all together (from death back to life on the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter).
Comment 1. Allaah in the Jewish Hebrew Bible confirms Allaah in the Quran by showing what shall happen when Allaah calls Gog Ya'juj to do the evil that Gog Ya'juj intends to do in Ezekiel 38:1 – 38:23 and 39:1 – 39:16.
The purpose of this story is to show that no matter how evil one person or a million people are, at the end Allaah removes evil from the Earth. It means that those who do evil can never succeed.
Tanakh Jewish scripture Ezekiel 38:1 And the word of the Lord (Allaah) came to me (Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl), saying:
Ezekiel 38:2 'Son of man, put your face toward Gog Ya'juj, of the land of Magog Ma'juj, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy (say what shall happen in the future) against him,
Ezekiel 38:3 and say: So says the Lord Allaah: I (Allaah) am against you, Gog Ya'juj, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
Ezekiel 38:4 and I (Allaah) will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I (Allaah) will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed most gorgeously, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his bands; even many peoples with you.
Note 1, Quran 18:93 Verse 18:93 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) came (north towards the Caucasus, Caucas) between two mountains (the Caucasus Mountains), where he found people in the valley whose language he could hardly understand.
Ezekiel 38:7 You be prepared, and prepare for your self, you, and all your company that are assembled with you, and you be on guard for them.
Ezekiel 38:8 After many days you shall be gather together for service, in the latter years you shall come against the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples, and they live safely all of them.
Ezekiel 38:9 And you (Gog Ya'juj) shall ascend, you shall come like a storm, you (Gog Ya'juj) shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you (Gog Ya'juj), and all your bands (of armies), and the many peoples with you.
Ezekiel 38:10 So says the Lord Allaah: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into your mind, and you (Gog Ya'juj) shall devise an evil device (an evil plan);
Ezekiel 38:11 and you (Gog Ya'juj) shall say: I shall go up against the land of unwalled (unprotected) villages; I (Gog Ya'juj) shall come on them that are at quiet, that live safely, all of them living without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
Ezekiel 38:12 to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that live in the middle of the earth.
Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the magnates thereof, shall say to you (Gog Ya'juj): Have you come to take the spoil (of war)? Have you assembled your company to take the prey (captives)? To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?
Ezekiel 38:14 Therefore, son of man (Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl), prophesy (say what shall happen in the future), and say to Gog Ya'juj: So says the Lord Allaah: In that day when My (Allaah’s) people Israel live safely, shall you not know it?
Ezekiel 38:15 And you (Gog Ya'juj) shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
Note 1, Quran 18:93 Verse 18:93 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) came (north towards the Caucasus, Caucas) between two mountains (the Caucasus Mountains), where he found people in the valley whose language he could hardly understand.
Ezekiel 38:16 and you shall come up against My (Allaah’s) people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I (Allaah) will bring you against My (Allaah’s) land so that the nations may know Me (Allaah), when I (Allaah) shall be sanctified (confirmed as Allaah) before their eyes, through (what) you, Gog Ya'juj (shall try to do).
Ezekiel 38:17 So says the Lord Allaah: Are you (Gog Ya'juj) the one of whom I (Allaah) spoke in times of old by My (Allaah’s) servants (who were) the prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days for many years, that I (Allaah) would bring you (Gog Ya'juj) against them (the children of Israel)?
Ezekiel 38:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog Ya'juj shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord Allaah, that My (Allaah’s) fury shall arise up in My (Allaah’s) nostrils.
Ezekiel 38:19 For in My (Allaah’s) jealousy and in the fire of My (Allaah’s) wrath have I (Allaah) spoken: Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Ezekiel 38:20 so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls (birds) of the heaven (sky), and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people that are on the face of the earth, shall shake at My (Allaah’s) presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Note 1. Quran 18:98 Verse 18:98 King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain said, "This is a mercy from my Lord (Allaah), but later my Lord (Allaah) shall level it (the barrier) down to the ground. The promise of my Lord (Allaah) is the truth."
Ezekiel 38:21 And I (Allaah) will call for a sword against him (Gog Ya'juj) throughout all My (Allaah’s) mountains, says the Lord Allaah; every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Ezekiel 38:22 And I (Allaah) will plead against him (Gog Ya'juj) with pestilence and with blood; and I (Allaah) will cause to rain on him (Gog Ya'juj), and on his bands (of armies), and on the many peoples that are with him (Gog Ya'juj), an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Ezekiel 38:23 This is how I (Allaah) will magnify Myself (Allaah), and sanctify Myself (Allaah), and I (Allaah) will make Myself (Allaah) known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I (Allaah) am the LORD.
Ezekiel 39:1 And you, son of man (Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl), prophesy (say what shall happen in the future) against Gog Ya'juj, and say: So says the Lord Allaah: I (Allaah) am against you, Gog Ya'juj, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
Ezekiel 39:2 and I (Allaah) will turn you around and lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I (Allaah) will bring you on the mountains of Israel;
Note 1, Quran 18:93 Verse 18:93 Until, when he (King Cyrus Dhul-Qarnain) came (north towards the Caucasus, Caucas) between two mountains (the Caucasus Mountains), where he found people in the valley whose language he could hardly understand.
Ezekiel 39:3 and I (Allaah) will cut your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
Ezekiel 39:4 You (Gog Ya'juj) shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands (armies), and the peoples that are with you; I (Allaah) will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field, to be eaten.
Ezekiel 39:5 You (Gog Ya'juj) shall fall on the open field; because I (Allaah) have spoken it, says the Lord Allaah.
Ezekiel 39:6 And I (Allaah) will send a fire on Magog Ma'juj, and on them that live safely in the isles; and they shall know that I am the Lord (Allaah).
Ezekiel 39:7 And My (Allaah’s) holy name will I (Allaah) make known in the midst of My (Allaah’s) people Israel; neither will I (Allaah) suffer My (Allaah’s) holy name to be disrespected any more; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord (Allaah), the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel 39:8 It shall come (to happen), and it shall be done, says the Lord Allaah; This is the day of which I (Allaah) have spoken.
Ezekiel 39:9 And they that live in the cities of Israel shall go out, and shall make fires of the weapons and use them as fuel, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the hand-staves, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them (for) seven years;
Ezekiel 39:10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests, for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, says the Lord Allaah.
Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I (Allaah) will give to Gog Ya'juj a place fit for burial in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop them that pass through; and there shall they bury Gog Ya'juj and all his multitude (armies and followers); and they shall call it the valley of Hamon-gog Hamon-Ya'juj.
Ezekiel 39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them so that they may clean the land.
Ezekiel 39:13 Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them, and it shall be to them a renown; in the day that I (Allaah) shall be glorified, says the Lord Allaah.
Ezekiel 39:14 And they shall put apart men in continual employment who shall pass through the land to bury with them that pass through those that remain on the face of the land, to clean it; after the end of seven months shall they search.
Ezekiel 39:15 And when they that pass through shall pass through the land, and any who see a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog Hamon-Ya'juj.
Ezekiel 39:16 And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. So shall they clean the land.

Comment 2. See Quran 21:96.
Quran 18:100 Koran 18:100 Verse 18:100 Ayah 18:100 Ayat 18:100 Aya 18:100 On that day (the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) We (Allaah) shall allow those without faith (in Allaah who is their creator) to see Hell, – (Continued Quran 18:101).
Quran 18:101 Koran 18:101 Verse 18:101 Ayah 18:101 Ayat 18:101 Aya 18:101 – Those whose eyes were covered from My (Allaah’s) Reminder (The Quran) and who could not hear (the call to do what is good and avoid what is evil).
Quran 18:102 Koran 18:102 Verse 18:102 Ayah 18:102 Ayat 18:102 Aya 18:102 Do those who disbelieve (in One Allaah who created everything) think that they can take My (Allaah’s) servants (the angels, Prophet Jesus Isa, Saints, etc) as gods (who can hear their prayer) instead of Me (Allaah who is the creator and the only one with the power to hear prayer)? Certainly We (Allaah) have prepared Hell as the living place for the disbelievers (in the Hereafter).
Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allaah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allaah by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against Allaah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).
Comment 1. See 18:4 – 18:6, 18:52, 18:110).
Quran 18:103 Koran 18:103 Verse 18:103 Ayah 18:103 Ayat 18:103 Aya 18:103 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “Shall I tell you whose work (deeds) shall be wasted (on the Earth)?” – (Continued Quran 18:104).
Quran 18:104 Koran 18:104 Verse 18:104 Ayah 18:104 Ayat 18:104 Aya 18:104 – (They are), "Those whose wasted their efforts in the pursuit of the pleasures of the world while thinking they were doing good work (deeds).”
Quran 18:105 Koran 18:105 Verse 18:105 Ayah 18:105 Ayat 18:105 Aya 18:105 "They are those who disbelieved in the revelations of their Lord (Allaah, to do good and reject evil) and the meeting with Him (Allaah, on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the Hereafter). So their deeds shall become worthless and on the Day of Resurrection, We (Allaah) shall not appoint for them any weighing (of value for their deeds because their deeds shall be worthless because what was good they rejected and what was evil they accepted).
Quran 18:106 Koran 18:106 Verse 18:106 Ayah 18:106 Ayat 18:106 Aya 18:106 Their reward is Hell because they disbelieved and mocked Our (Allaah’s) revelations and Our (Allaah’s) messengers.
Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allaah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allaah by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against Allaah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).
Quran 18:107 Koran 18:107 Verse 18:107 Ayah 18:107 Ayat 18:107 Aya 18:107 Those who have believed and did good deeds, shall be in the Gardens of Paradise (in the hereafter).
Comment 1. Success in the hereafter requires belief in doing good and rejecting evil and the action of doing good and rejecting evil.
Quran 18:108 Koran 18:108 Verse 18:108 Ayah 18:108 Ayat 18:108 Aya 18:108 Where they shall live forever, with no desire to leave (Paradise).
Quran 18:109 Koran 18:109 Verse 18:109 Ayah 18:109 Ayat 18:109 Aya 18:109 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), "If the sea was ink for My Lord’s (Allaah’s) Words, then the sea would be emptied (all used up) before the Words of my Lord (Allaah) would be finished, even if we added another sea like it (it would also be emptied)."
Comment 1. Allaah in the Koran is confirmed by Allaah in the Gospel.
Allaah in the Quran is confirmed by Allaah in the Gospel.
Allaah in the Quran is confirmed by Allaah in the Injil.
Quran 31:27 Verse 31:27 And if all the trees in the earth were (made into writing) pens and the sea (was made into ink that was) increased with seven more seas (as sources of ink), the words (decrees, commands) of Allaah would not have ended (by the time all the ink had ended). Allaah is the greatest (in importance to every creation) and wise.
Note 1. What Allaah has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus Isa did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of Allaah who was under the guidance of Allaah through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel Jibril), which if (all the decrees of Allaah for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus Isa, John the apostle of Jesus Isa, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus Isa loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus Isa did many things in the world and what Allaah has willed has been revealed in the Gospel Injil which confirmed the Torah Taurat and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus Isa in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15).
Note 1. If all the decrees of Allaah for the past present and future were written in detail they would be so vast that humans would not be able to find the space on the Earth to keep so many books.
Note 2. Jesus said another prophet would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15.
Isa said another prophet would come after Isa in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15.
Who is the comforter after Jesus?
Who is the messenger after Jesus?
Who is the prophet after Jesus?

Quran 18:110 Koran 18:110 Verse 18:110 Ayah 18:110 Ayat 18:110 Aya 18:110 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), “I am only a human like you. My Lord (Allaah) has revealed in me that your Allaah is the One and only Allaah. And whoever looks forward to meeting their Lord (Allaah), let them do righteous deeds, and do not give prayer which all belongs to Allaah (the creator), to anyone else (such as to angels, prophets, messengers, saints and any other creation because only Allaah the creator has the power to hear prayer. All other prayer is idol worship).”
Comment 1. Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
