Quran 102:0 Koran 102:0 Verse 102:0 Ayah 102:0 Ayat 102:0 Aya 102:0 In the name of God, The Most Kind, The Most Merciful.

Quran 102:1 Koran 102:1 Verse 102:1 Ayah 102:1 Ayat 102:1 Aya 102:1 Increase in (worldly) competition distracts you (from thinking about God, your creator).

Comment 1. Life of the world.

Quran 57:20 Verse 57:20 Know that the life of the world is only play and amusement and show and boasting among yourselves and rivalry in wealth and in children. And it (the life of the world) is like the vegetation after rain when its growth is pleasing to the cultivator, but later it dries up and you see it turning yellow and then it becomes (lifeless) pieces. And in the Hereafter there is a great punishment (for the wrong doers) and forgiveness from God and His (God’s) good pleasure (for the good doers), whereas the life of the world is (like) the enjoyment of an illusion (created by God that shall soon disappear).

Quran 5:87 Verse 5:87 All you who have faith (in God), do not forbid the good things (like music and singing) that God has made lawful for you and do not break the law. God does not love law breakers.

Quran 28:77 Verse 28:77 – But strive (to earn reward) for the life of the Hereafter by using what God has given to you and do not neglect (ignore) your portion of (enjoyment of) the (life of this) world, and you be kind (to people in this life) just as God has been kind to you and do not strive to misbehave on the earth. God does not love bad behaviour (in the world).

Quran 7:33 Verse 7:33 Say (to humans), “Our Lord (God) has only forbidden (things like) indecencies such as (indecencies) that can be seen (in public) or (indecencies) that are hidden, and sin (that comes from disobedience to God) and unjust oppression (to God’s creations, men, women and children), and that which you associate with God (when you pray to something or someone instead of praying only to God) because no authority has been revealed (to pray to anyone except God, your creator), and to say about God things that you do not know (such as God prohibited this or that when you do not know).

Comment 2. What is the purpose of life?

Quran 75:36 Verse 75:36 Do humans think that they shall be left (to die and disappear) without a purpose (having existed in their life)?

See Quran 44:38 comments in Quran chapter 44.

Quran 102:2 Koran 102:2 Verse 102:2 Ayah 102:2 Ayat 102:2 Aya 102:2 Until you visit the graves (and are buried their until the Day of Resurrection meaning all your life until death you are distracted from God by your life in the world).

Quran 102:3 Koran 102:3 Verse 102:3 Ayah 102:3 Ayat 102:3 Aya 102:3 No (you don’t think about God, your creator) but you (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) shall come to know (the truth about the existence of God).

Quran 102:4 Koran 102:4 Verse 102:4 Ayah 102:4 Ayat 102:4 Aya 102:4 No (you don’t think about God, your creator) but you (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) shall come to know (the truth about the existence of God).

Quran 102:5 Koran 102:5 Verse 102:5 Ayah 102:5 Ayat 102:5 Aya 102:5 No (you don’t think about God, your creator) but if you knew with certainty (you would have prepared your self for the hereafter by doing good deeds and not doing evil deeds on the earth) –

Comment 1. Belief without good deeds is a false belief in God.

Satan Shaitan believes in God but it is a false belief because Satan Shaitan does not do good deeds.

Quran 6:158 Verse 6:158 "... belief in it (God and the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) shall not help any soul …. if in belief (he or she) did not earn good (by doing righteous deeds in their life). ....”

Quran 41:8 Verse 41:8 “For those who believe and do good deeds, for them is an everlasting reward (in Paradise Jannah).”

Quran 102:6 Koran 102:6 Verse 102:6 Ayah 102:6 Ayat 102:6 Aya 102:6 So you shall certainly see Hell fire (Jahannam in the hereafter) –

Comment 1. Quran 29:54 Verse 29:54 They (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia) ask you (Prophet Muhammad) to bring quickly the punishment (from God). Hell Jahannam shall surely encompass the disbelievers.

Quran 29:55 Verse 29:55 On the day when the punishment (in Hell fire Jahannam) shall cover them from above them and from below their feet and it shall be said, “Taste (the punishment for) what you used to do.”

Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (God) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of God by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire Jahannam in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against God (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).

Quran 102:7 Koran 102:7 Verse 102:7 Ayah 102:7 Ayat 102:7 Aya 102:7 You shall see it (the Hell fire Jahannam) clearly.

Comment 1. Hell Jahannam.

Quran 39:48 Verse 39:48 And the evils that they did (in their first life) shall appear to them and what they used to ridicule (meaning, the reality of the Hereafter) shall surround them (shall become clear to them).

Quran 79:35 Verse 79:35 The Day (of Resurrection) when people shall remember what they strove for (when some strove for themselves and others strove for God) –

Quran 79:36 Verse 79:36 And Hell fire shall be visible for all those who see.

Quran 82:16 Verse 82:16 And they (the wrongdoers) shall not be able to escape it (the punishment in Hell fire Jahannam).

Quran 102:8 Koran 102:8 Verse 102:8 Ayah 102:8 Ayat 102:8 Aya 102:8 And on that Day (of Judgement) you shall be asked about the pleasure (you had in the world and asked why you forgot to thank God who created you).

Comment 1. Life in the world.

In the hereafter you may be questioned about what you did with the blessings God gave to you.

Quran 21:11 Verse 21:11 How many communities (that were wrongdoers) have We (God) destroyed and then raised another people (on the Earth) after them.

Quran 21:12 Verse 21:12 And, when they (the wrongdoers of the past) felt Our (God’s) punishment, they (tried to) flee from it.

Quran 21:13 Verse 21:13 (But it was said to them), “Do not flee, return to your homes where you live in luxury so that (after God’s punishment on the earth has come then) you may be questioned (in the Hereafter regarding your wrongdoing).”

Comment 2. Which of the favours of your Lord will you deny by prohibiting in religion what God has not prohibited.

The Quran warns against extreme ideas.

The Quran repeats 31 times one question in Quran chapter 55: “Which of the blessings of God will you deny?” so as to warn us against extreme ideas that come from humans and not from the orders of God in the Quran.

God asks humankind and jinn 31 times in Quran chapter 55, “From everything that God has provided to you which of them will you deny?”

What will you say is not from God?

What will you say God has prohibited to you when in fact it is not prohibited to you by God?.

Quran 55:13, Quran 55:16, Quran 55:18, Quran 55:21, Quran 55:23, Quran 55:25, Quran 55:28,

Quran 55:30, Quran 55:32, Quran 55:34, Quran 55:36, Quran 55:38, Quran 55:40, Quran 55:42,

Quran 55:45, Quran 55:47, Quran 55:49, Quran 55:51, Quran 55:53, Quran 55:55, Quran 55:57,

Quran 55:59, Quran 55:61, Quran 55:63, Quran 55:65, Quran 55:67, Quran 55:69, Quran 55:71,

Quran 55:73, Quran 55:75, Quran 55:77

Which of the favours of God shall you deny?

Which of all the things that God gives you shall you deny by saying they did not come from God? or by saying that God has prohibited things to you that God has not prohibited to you?

Quran 5:87 Verse 5:87 All you who have faith (in God), do not forbid the good things (like music and singing) that God has made lawful for you and do not break the law. God does not love law breakers.

Comment 3. Prohibiting in religion what God has not prohibited.

Music, singing, musical instruments are not prohibited in Islam.

See Quran 31:33 comments in Quran chapter 31.

Comment 4. Do not forget God.

Quran 38:31 Verse 38:31 (Mention) the afternoon when he (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) was shown excellent racing horses.

Quran 38:32 Verse 38:32 And he (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) said, “I preferred the love of good things (like my horses) over the remembrance of my Lord (God, and I would watch them) until they (the horses) disappeared into the distance.”

Quran 38:33 Verse 38:33 (Then I would say) "return them (horses) to me." Then he (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) began (with love) to stroke their legs and their necks.

Quran 38:34 Verse 38:34 And certainly We (God) tried (tested) Prophet Solomon Sulaiman (with wives and horses which he loved), and (then told him the future that) We (God after his death) placed on his throne a body (his son Rehoboam and that the kingdom of his son would be divided into half in 1 Kings 11:11-11:13 which was fulfilled in 1 Kings 11:31-11:32 and 1 Kings 11:35-11:36); then he (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) turned (in repentance to God).

Quran 38:35 Verse 38:35 He (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) said, “My Lord (God ), Forgive me and (God forgive him and asked what he wanted so Prophet Solomon Sulaiman said) grant me a kingdom that shall (be guided by such great wisdom and justice that the likes of it shall) not belong to anyone after me (and this is why throughout history Prophet Solomon Sulaiman is known for his great wisdom and justice). You (God) are the giver (of everything that exists).”

Quran 63:9 Verse 63:9 All you who believe, Do not let your wealth or your children distract you from remembering (to pray to) God. Those who do (by forgetting God) are the losers (in the Hereafter).

Quran 64:14 Verse 64:14 All you who believe, Among your spouses (husband and wives) and your children there are enemies for you (if they try to move you away from God) so beware of them. If you pardon (what people have done) and overlook (the faults of people), and forgive (people) then God is forgiving and merciful (to you).

Comment 5. God forgives you when you rememeber God by forgiving people and thanking God.

God forgives you if you forgive others (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).

Love your neighbour (Quran 42:43).

Love your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36, Quran 42:43 and Quran 60:7).

Forgive your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36 and Quran 42:43. God will forgive even those who mocked Prophet Muhammad and those who plotted to kill Prophet Muhammad if they repent and ask God for forgiveness in Quran 8:30 – 8:33).

Forgive your neighbour (Quran 42:43).

Forgive disbelievers (Quran 45:14).

Forgive believers (Quran 49:10).

Forgive Jews (Quran 5:13).

Forgive the killer (Quran 5:45 and Quran 85:10).

Exploding bombs in crowds is forbidden by God (Quran 48:25).

Fighting today is not in the cause of God (Quran 48:25 comments).

If you pardon what people have done and overlook the faults of people and forgive people then God is forgiving and merciful to you (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).

Interpretations of the Quran (Al-Quran, Al Quran, Koran).

This is an interpretation of some of the meanings in the Quran.

This is not a perfect translation of the Quran because the Quran is in the Arabic language.

The Arabic language in the Quran must be understood as it was understood over 1400 years ago.

God guides who He wills to the correct understanding of the Quran.

In the English language the word Allah is God.

God (Allah) is the creator of the Jews, Christians, Muslims and everyone and everything that exists.
