Quran 34:0 Koran 34:0 Verse 34:0 Ayah 34:0 Ayat 34:0 Aya 34:0 In the name of Allah, The Most Kind, The Most Merciful.

Quran 34:1 Koran 34:1 Verse 34:1 Ayah 34:1 Ayat 34:1 Aya 34:1 Praise is (owed) to Allah to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth and to Him (Allah) are (all) praises (by all who shall be) in the hereafter. He (Allah) is wise and aware (of everything).

Quran 34:2 Koran 34:2 Verse 34:2 Ayah 34:2 Ayat 34:2 Aya 34:2 He (Allah) knows what enters the earth (the land) and what comes out of it (the earth, the land), and what comes down from the heaven (the sky) and what goes up to it (the heaven, the sky). He (Allah) is merciful and forgiving.

Quran 34:3 Koran 34:3 Verse 34:3 Ayah 34:3 Ayat 34:3 Aya 34:3 Those who disbelieve (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia) say, “The Hour (of Judgement) shall never come to us.” Say, “No (you are wrong), in the name of my Lord (Allah), it (The Hour) is certainly coming to you. (Allah) knows the unseen (meaning, Allah knows what shall happen in the future, Allah knows what you do not know). In the heavens or in the earth, not even the weight of an ant, or less than that or greater (than that), escapes Him (Allah), which is not in a clear Record (the Preserved Book, Preserved Page, Preserved Tablet, Book of decrees, al-Lawh al-Mahfuz).”

Comment 1. When is the hour?

When is the time of the end of the Earth?

The end of the Earth is followed by the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.

See Quran 33:63 comments in Quran chapter 33.

Quran 34:4 Koran 34:4 Verse 34:4 Ayah 34:4 Ayat 34:4 Aya 34:4 So that He (Allah) may reward those who believe (in Allah who is the creator of every creation) and (who) do good deeds. For them is forgiveness and an abundant provision (in Paradise).

Quran 34:5 Koran 34:5 Verse 34:5 Ayah 34:5 Ayat 34:5 Aya 34:5 But those who strive against Our (Allah’s) revelations by trying to make them (Allah’s revelations) to fail, theirs shall be a painful punishment from the wrath (anger of Allah).

Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allah 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 Allah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil). 

Quran 34:6 Koran 34:6 Verse 34:6 Ayah 34:6 Ayat 34:6 Aya 34:6 Those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) from your Lord (Allah) is the truth and it (the revelations from Allah) guides to the path of (Allah who is) the greatest (in importance to every creation and therefore Allah is) the owner of (all) praise.

Quran 34:7 Koran 34:7 Verse 34:7 Ayah 34:7 Ayat 34:7 Aya 34:7 Those who disbelieve (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia) say (so as to ridicule), “Shall we show you a man (Prophet Muhammad) who shall tell you that even when you have been completely scattered as dust, you shall be created again?”

Quran 34:8 Koran 34:8 Verse 34:8 Ayah 34:8 Ayat 34:8 Aya 34:8 “Has he (Prophet Muhammad) invented a lie about Allah or is he mad?” No (Prophet Muhammad does not invent lies nor has he any madness), but those (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) who disbelieve in the Hereafter shall be in the punishment (of Hell in the Hereafter) and (are in) great error (in their lack of belief in Allah who created them).

Comment 1. See Quran 34:5 comment.

Quran 34:9 Koran 34:9 Verse 34:9 Ayah 34:9 Ayat 34:9 Aya 34:9 Do they not see what is in front (above) them and what is behind (below) them in the sky and the earth? If We (Allah) willed then the earth (below their feet) could swallow them or fragments from the sky (above them) could fall on them. In that surely is a sign for every servant who turns in repentance (to Allah).

Note 1. When people asked to see a miracle like a piece of the sky falling down then a meteor falling down from the sky would be like a piece of the sky falling down.

Quran 34:10 Koran 34:10 Verse 34:10 Ayah 34:10 Ayat 34:10 Aya 34:10 And certainly We (Allah) gave Prophet David Dawud bounty from Us (Allah), (saying), “O Mountains repeat (by reflecting the sounds of the) praises (to Allah) with him (Prophet David Dawud) and the birds. And We (Allah) made the (strong) iron (to be) pliable for him (Prophet David Dawud).

Comment 1. Thunder praises Allah.

Angels praise Allah.

Quran 13:13 Verse 13:13 And the thunder glorifies and praises Him (Allah) and so do the angels (who are) in awe of Him (Allah). He (Allah) sends the thunderbolts and strikes whom He (Allah) will, but still they (the stone idol worshippers) dispute concerning (the existence of) Allah, He (Allah) is mighty in strength and severe in punishment.

1a. Birds praise Allah.

Quran 24:41 Verse 24:41 Have you not seen that Allah is the one whom all that are in the heavens and the earth exalt (including) the birds (while they are) with wings spread out (in their flight)? He (Allah) knows the prayer and the exaltation from each (creature) and Allah is aware of what they (Allah’s creatures) do.

1b. Mountains praise Allah.

Quran 33:72 Verse 33:72 We (Allah) offered the trust (to keep the duty owed to Allah, the creator) to the heavens and the earth and the mountains but they refused to bear it (the great duty owed to Allah) and were afraid of it (the great duty owed to Allah) but humans accepted it. He (the disbelieving human) has proved to be unjust and ignorant (by accepting the blessings of Allah and forgetting the great duty owed to Allah by remembering Allah and thanking Allah). 

Quran 34:11 Koran 34:11 Verse 34:11 Ayah 34:11 Ayat 34:11 Aya 34:11 Saying (to Prophet David Dawud), “Make complete (body armor, body protecting) coats of mail and measure the links (exactly). And work righteously. I (Allah) see all that you do.”

Quran 34:12 Koran 34:12 Verse 34:12 Ayah 34:12 Ayat 34:12 Aya 34:12 And to Prophet Solomon Sulaiman (Allah made subject in Quran 21:81 and 38:36) the wind, where the (wind blowing in the desired direction away from the blessed land in Quran 21:81 called the United Kingdom of Israel in the time of King Solomon Sulaiman and known earlier as Canaan in the time of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and in the time of Prophet Moses Musa, so that the wind blowing away from the blessed Holy Land in the) morning travels (the equivalent of a distance that would be) a month's journey and the (wind blowing to return to the blessed Holy Land in Quran 21:81 called the United Kingdom of Israel in the time of King Solomon Sulaiman, so that the wind blowing for the return journey to the blessed Holy Land in the) evening travels (the equivalent of a distance that would be) a month's journey (meaning, in one day the wind allowed travelling the equivalent of a 2 month journey from the blessed Holy Land to where ever they wanted to travel and back to the blessed Holy Land all in one day). And We (Allah) caused a fountain of brass to flow for him, and (Allah gave to Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) some jinn who by permission of his Lord (Allah) worked for him (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman). And those of them (jinn) that deviated from Our (Allah’s) command We (Allah) shall make to taste the punishment of the flame (in Hell Jahannam in the hereafter).

Comment 1. The power of King Solomon Sulaiman in Rabbinic Jewish literature.

The power of King Solomon Sulaiman in Rabbinic Jewish literature written by Rabbis is described in allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) terms.

1a. The power of King Solomon Sulaiman in the Torah Taurat.

The power of King Solomon Sulaiman in the Torah Taurat is described in everyday human terms.  

1b. Why does Allah put the stories of Rabbinic Jewish literature from rabbis in the Quran?

Quran 26:197 Verse 26:197 Is it (the revelations from Allah in the Quran) not a sign for the knowledgeable among the Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews) who know it (the revelations of Allah in the Torah Taurat)?

Quran 27:76 Verse 27:76 This Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of the (religious) matters in which they have had disagreements.

1c. Stories of talking animals in the Quran are in the style of Rabbinic Jewish literature.

Why did Allah put some of the stories of rabbis in the Quran?

In the Quran Allah confirmed the correctness of some of the Jewish stories written by the Rabbis such as whoever destroys a soul, it is considered by Allah as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered by Allah as if he saved an entire world..

In the Quran Allah corrected errors in religious understanding in some of the Jewish stories written by the Rabbis such as the story of Angel Harut and Angel Marut.

The stories of Allah from Allah and about Allah from humans teach people that everything imaginable and unimaginable come from Allah.

The story of King Solomon Sulaiman and the flying carpet and the eagles are a lesson in humility.

1d. The stories of humans.

The description of the Jewish Armilus (the Anti Messiah) or Muslim Dajjal Dijjal is a typical exaggerated description written by rabbis where descriptions are exaggerated to make sure this human story is not confused with the Torah Taurat stories of Allah.

Stories with exaggerated descriptions are stories written by rabbis to present a moral lesson about good defeating evil. Instead of imagining the Devil as evil, evil is described in human form as the Dajjal Dijjal who has an exaggerated description to show it comes from the stories of the rabbis and not from Allah in the Torah Taurat.

In the Midrash Wayosha published at Constantinople (Turkey) in 924 AH (1519 CE, 1519 AD) describes the “end of time” and the Jewish equivalent of the Muslim Dajjal Dijjal, called Armilus (the Anti Messiah) who is the successor of Gog (the leader of the tribe of Gog from the North) who looks horrible, bald-headed, with one large eye and one small eye, deaf in the right ear and maimed in the right arm, while the left arm is two and one-half ells long (2.85 meters, 2.85 metres, 9.38 feet). He battles with and is defeated by the Messiah, son of Joseph (Yusuf). 

The description of the Jewish Armilus (the Anti Messiah) or Muslim Dajjal Dijjal is a typical exaggerated description written by rabbis to make sure this human story is not confused with the Torah Taurat of Allah.

Note 1. The Jewish Armilus which is the Muslim Dajjal Dijjal is described in the fantastic way used by rabbis to show that this story did not come from Allah in the Torah Taurat but from the writings of the rabbis.

Note 2. The Mahdi Mehdi is not in the Quran or Gospel Injil or Torah Taurat.

Note 3. The Dajjal Dijjal is not in the Quran or Gospel Injil or Torah Taurat.

Note 4. The return of Jesus Isa to this Earth is not in the Quran or Gospel Injil or Torah Taurat.

Note 5. Allah has not ordered belief in the Mahdi Mehdi but belief in the Day of Judgement in the Quran and Gospel Injil and Torah Taurat.

Note 6. Allah has not ordered belief in the Dajjal Dijjal but belief in the Day of Judgement in the Quran and Gospel Injil and Torah Taurat.

Note 7. Allah has not ordered belief in the return of Jesus Isa to this Earth but belief in the Day of Judgement in the Quran and Gospel Injil and Torah Taurat.

Note 8. Today Muslims lead a righteous life by looking to the Quran for guidance and only accepting hadith stories from humans that agree with the Books of Allah and not expecting anything to happen that is more important than the Day of Judgement.

Note 9. Some people are the followers of the stories of humans which contradict the teachings in the Quran. 

Islamic State, Al Shabaab and Boko Haram are misguided because instead of believing the Quran they believe hadith stories that cannot be found in the Quran.

Hadith stories which contradict the teachings in the Quran has misguided some humans who believe that the examples of evil behaviour in unprotected hadith stories is goodness instead of believing that the examples of good behaviour in the protected words of Allah which include the protected words of Prophet Muhammad in the Quran is goodness. 

See 1. When a prophet dies Satan Shaitan whispers stories that contradict the Books of Allah. 

The description of the Dajjal Dijjal is Armilus. 

“… In Rome there is a splendid marble statue of a beautiful girl which god himself made in the beginning of the world. Through sexual intercourse of evil men, or even of Satan himself, with this statue, a terrible creature in human form was produced, whose dimensions as well as shape were equally monstrous.” … “Armilus is bald-headed, with one large and one small eye, deaf in the right ear and maimed in the right arm, while the left arm is two and one-half ells long.”

See 2. Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is not in the Quran.

Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is not in Tanakh Jewish scripture.

Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is in Christianity.

Armilus in Judaism is not an Anti Messiah (anti Christ) but represents Romulus the founder of Rome In the Roman story of Amulius.

In Judaism Armilus represents the defeat of Rome in the end of days and was misunderstood by Christians as an anti Messiah (anti Christ) however there is no anti Messiah (anti Christ) in Tanakh Jewish scripture or in the Quran.

Hadith stories about the Dajjal in Islam are not confirmed in the Quran meaning such hadith stories were written after the death of the prophet.

See 3. A better way to understand hadith stories.

https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthequran/a-better-way-to-understand-hadith-stories

Quran 77:50 Verse 77:50 In what statement (words, news, reports, information, message, hadith), after it (the verses of Allah in the Quran), shall they (the humans and the jinn) believe? 

Quran 25:30 Verse 25:30 And (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) said, “My Lord (Allah) my people have abandoned (deserted) this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).” 

Note 1. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement Prophet Muhammad will say “My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).” 

Do not twist inside your mind the meaning of the words of Allah in the Quran to agree with hadith stories. 

If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it. 

If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it. 

On the Day of Judgement Allah judges by the words in the protected Quran. 

On the Day of Judgement Allah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories. 

The Quran is the protected word of Allah including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by Allah. 

Read what Allah says in the Quran and beware of hadith stories which seek to add something that contradicts the teachings in the Quran.

Hadith which contradict the teachings of Allah in the Quran are false hadith stories.

Be careful not to mix the words of Allah with hadith stories which contradict the Quran.

Video 1. Obsession with false hadith culture Is corrupting Islam.

See 1. Quran 25:30 comments with examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allah in Quran chapter 25.

1e. Solomon Sulaiman in Rabbinic Jewish literature.

The story of King Solomon Sulaiman and the flying carpet and the wind are a lesson in humility.

What is the purpose of the stories written by rabbis about King Solomon Sulaiman?

See Quran 27:18 comments in Quran chapter 27.

1f. Solomon Sulaiman and the hoopoe.

Why is the hoopoe threatened with severe punishment or death?

Why does King Solomon Sulaiman threaten death to the hoopoe?

See Quran 27:21 comments in Quran chapter 27.

Comment 2. What is the purpose of Rabbinic Jewish literature?

Rabbinic Jewish literature is written by rabbis to describe talking animals or in other exaggerated descriptions in fantastic stories that use the famous people in the Bible to give a lesson or answer a moral or religious question.

These stories are made very fantastic to show people that they are not from the Torah Taurat.

In the story of King Solomon Sulaiman and the ant and the story of King Solomon Sulaiman and the flying carpet the lesson is do not think that you are superior to other people.

A child who is too young to have patience listening to the Torah Taurat has patience for a fantastic story.

2a. Allah has conferred a great honour on some of the rabbis who wrote Rabbinic Jewish literature by using their same style in the Quran.

This makes the Quran appealing to both the young and the old.

By using Rabbinic Jewish literature in the Quran Allah uses allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) terms.

The purpose of figurative language is to use a style of language to explain something.

The rabbis were not teaching us that King Solomon Sulaiman really had a flying carpet or that King Solomon Sulaiman really talked to an ant or that King Solomon Sulaiman really commanded the jinn.

The rabbi wrote that fantastic story to capture our attention so that we can learn some moral or religious lesson.

By using the style of Rabbinic Jewish literature in the Quran, Allah is teaching us that concepts such as Satan Shaitan are used as a way to help us understand good and evil.

Satan Shaitan can be used in allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) terms to help us understand good and evil.

Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that each person has their own devil and that Prophet Muhammad made his devil to become a Muslim.

Allah has taught us about Satan Shaitan as a way in which humans can understand the difference between good and evil.

If you could do what Prophet Muhammad did by being inclined to only do what is good without a struggle to decide between whether to do what is good or what is evil then you could say that you have removed your evil desires and made your devil to become a Muslim.

Thinking of the devil in real terms which some today call superstition, or thinking of the devil in modern terms which some today call allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) both give us the same understanding to strive to do good and avoid to do evil.

Allah has included in the Quran both ways of looking at evil, the literal way where the devil as a real creature and the allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) way where the devil is a symbol for evil such as the symbol in Makkah at which people throw stones as a symbolic rejection of evil.

The importance of the devil is not whether he is a real or a figurative expression but whether we have learned Allah’s lesson to avoid evil and choose to do what is good.

A Muslim believes in the devil and Allah shows us that such a belief can be in the form of a creature or in allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) terms whichever is easiest for you to understand.

Allah uses the devil as a way to teach us to do good and avoid evil.

Rabbinic Jewish literature in the Quran allows us to better understand the different ways Allah leads people to understand Allah’s lessons.

See Quran 21:81 comments and Quran 21:82 comments in Quran chapter 21.

Comment 3. In the early history of humans the world was understood in supernatural terms and explanations were in the supernatural terms which people understood.

The style of the supernatural stories in the human writings in Rabbinic Jewish literature and the more natural explanations in Allah’s Torah Taurat are both contained in Allah’s Quran.

It was Allah who first revealed the stories to the rabbis that then appeared in the Rabbinic Jewish literature and it is Allah who sent Allah’s sign to the children of Israel by making their style of Rabbinic Jewish literature appear in the Quran as a sign that the Quran is from Allah.

The Quran contains elements of the Torah Taurat, the Rabbinic Jewish literature and the Gospel Injil which were delivered to the stone idol worshippers, the Jews, the Christians and others in Arabia today Saudi Arabia.

This is how Allah revealed Him self through Prophet Muhammad.

See more about Rabbinic Jewish literature in Quran 34:13 – 34:14.

See 1. The story of the travels of King Solomon Sulaiman, the flying carpet and the birds in Quran 21:82 comments in Quran chapter 21. 

See 2. The story of the travels of King Solomon Sulaiman, the flying carpet and the ants in Quran 27:18 comments in Quran chapter 27.

Quran 34:13 Koran 34:13 Verse 34:13 Ayah 34:13 Ayat 34:13 Aya 34:13 They (the jinn helped) make for him (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman) with whatever he wanted, (making) elevated buildings (the first Jewish temple to Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds with palace and court yards on Mount Moriah, Mount Zion, Mountain of the house, the thrashing floor of King Araunah the Jebusite purchased by Prophet David Dawud, 762 metres 2,500 feet above sea level), statues (such as the 12 brazen oxen that suspended the basin), basins as large as reservoirs (such as “the molten sea” for use in ablution by the Jewish priests) and fixed cauldrons (Brazen altar for animal sacrifices to Allah made from brass which is copper with tin or zinc). "Work O family of David Dawud, with gratitude (to Allah).” Few of My (Allah’s) servants are grateful. 

Comment 1. Rabbinic Jewish literature and the Torah Taurat.

In Quran 34:12 comments we discussed how what is in Allah’s Torah Taurat is explained in a more normal way and what is in the human writings in Rabbinic Jewish literature uses super natural explanation. We said that the Quran includes both styles of explanation.

Allah does something new in the Quran by including in Allah’s final revelation to humankind the style of the human writings in Rabbinic Jewish literature for the reason explained in Quran 27:76.

Quran 27:76 Verse 27:76 This Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of the (religious) matters in which they have had disagreements.

Since Allah already revealed the Torah Taurat it is a great honour that Allah has chosen to included the style of human written Rabbinic Jewish literature in Allah’s final revelation to humankind.

The construction of the first Jewish temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds was revealed in the Torah Taurat as a human endeavour but this same construction is revealed in the Quran as a supernatural endeavour in the style of Rabbinic Jewish literature.

By this revelation Allah is not saying that the explanation in the Torah Taurat that humans built the first temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds by the efforts of humans is wrong.

What Allah always says is that what is in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Quran is true because it is the word of Allah.

Allah is telling us that the word of Allah can be literal (factual, accurate, does not use symbols to represent a different meaning) such as in the Torah Taurat description of the construction of the first Jewish temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds or the word of Allah can be allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal) such as when it uses the style of Rabbinic Jewish literature to describe of the construction of the first Jewish temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds.

This revelation from Allah in the style of human written Rabbinic Jewish literature also means that sometimes what Allah reveals to us is partly real and accurate and partly allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal).

This is confirmed by both the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil which are also both regarded as partly real and accurate and partly allegorical (abstract, emblematic, figurative, metaphorical, metaphoric, symbolic, not literal).

Quran 3:7 Verse 3:7 It is He (Allah) who has sent down to you (Prophet Muhammad) the Book (this Quran). In it are revelations that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book (Allah’s commandments, the duties of humans and the laws), and other (revelations that, to you, might) not (be) entirely clear (because they are allegorical, figurative, metaphorical, symbolic, not literal or because the person has not studied what Allah has already revealed in the past in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil and in other writings). As for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they shall follow that which is not entirely clear (for them in the Quran) seeking to mislead (the ignorant through arguments and confusion) and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation, but no one knows its true interpretation except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say, "We believe in it and all (the clear revelations and some that for us might seem unclear revelations) are from our Lord (Allah)." Only people with understanding (when they see what is for them unclear revelations in the Quran) shall remember (to ask Allah for guidance) (Continued in Quran 3:8).

Quran 3:8 Verse 3:8 – (by saying), "Our Lord (Allah), don’t let our hearts deviate (from the truth by allowing us to make false interpretations of the Quran) after You have guided us (to the truth), and grant us your mercy. You are the giver (of everything that exists)." 

1a. The Tanakh Jewish scripture, The Hebrew scripture, (Christian translations which are not used in Judaism are called the Old Testament Bible).

Prophet Solomon Sulaiman, King Solomon Sulaiman 1632 – 1552 BH, 1010 – 930 BCE, 1010 – 930 BC ruled as the King of Israel from 1592 – 1552 BH, 970 - 930 BCE, 970 - 930 BC.  

King Solomon Sulaiman constructed the first Jewish Temple in 1582 BH 960 BCE 960 BC.

The site where the elevated buildings for the first Jewish temple to Allah would be built by Prophet Solomon Sulaiman was on the land purchased by Prophet David Dawud in Jerusalem Al-Quds which was owned by King Araunah the Jebusite.  

Second Samuel 24:18 – 24:25 In that same place before Prophet Solomon Sulaiman built the Temple, Prophet David Dawud had made his first sacrifice there of an oxen.

First Kings 8:64 On the day of the opening of the first Jewish temple to Allah the number of animals to be sacrificed were too many for the fixed cauldron.

First Kings 7:29 In the first Jewish temple to Allah there were images in the court yard for decoration such as lions, oxen and cherubim (an angel).

First Kings 7:33 Carving of wheels like chariot wheels.

First Kings 7:36 Images of Palm trees.

First Kings 7:42 Images of 4000 Pomegranate fruits.

Second Chronicles 4:2 and First Kings 7:23 The “Molten Sea” rested on the backs of 12 bronze oxen.

The “Molten Sea” was a large bowl shaped basin which stood in the court yard of the first Jewish temple built by Prophet Solomon Sulaiman in Jerusalem Al-Quds.

See 1. Rabbinic Jewish literature in Quran 34:12 and Quran 34:14 comments in Quran chapter 34.

See 2. The Temples of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Quran chapter 17 in Quran chapter 17. 

Quran 34:14 Koran 34:14 Verse 34:14 Ayah 34:14 Ayat 34:14 Aya 34:14 And when We (Allah) decreed death for him (Prophet Solomon Sulaiman), nothing showed his death to them (the jinn) except a creature of the earth (a termite) which chewed away at his (Prophet Solomon’s Sulaiman’s) walking stick. And when he (Prophet Solomon’s Sulaiman’s dead body which was held up by his walking stick) fell (to the ground after the long time that it took a termite to chew his walking stick) the jinn saw clearly how, if they had known the unseen (that Prophet Solomon Sulaiman had died a long time ago), they would not have continued in humiliating punishment (by working when Prophet Solomon Sulaiman their master had died which shows that the jinn do not know what shall happen in the future).

Comment 1. The story of the stick of Prophet Solomon Sulaiman is a lesson reminding every human that no matter who they are they will in the end of their life taste death and meet Allah and at the end of their life their wealth and power cannot help them.

In a Rabbinic Jewish literature story of Solomon Sulaiman, he said "I, Kohelet, was king over Israel in Jerusalem Al-Quds” (Eccl. i. 12, Hebr.), which show that when he (Solomon Sulaiman) uttered them (words) he was no longer king. He gradually fell from the highest glory into the deepest misery. At first, Solomon Sulaiman reigned over the inhabitants of the upper world as well as over those of the lower (world); then only over the inhabitants of the earth; later over Israel only; then he retained only his bed and his stick; and finally his stick alone was left to him (Sanh. 20b).

1a. Why did Allah put Jewish stories in the Quran?

Why did Allah put the stories of the children of Israel in the Quran?

Quran 3:3 Verse 3:3 He (Allah) revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) the Book (the Quran) of truth confirming what came before it (in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil), and He (Allah) revealed the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil.

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 Allah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil). 

Note 1. Allah protects His Books so that every human can directly confirm the truth that is revealed to them.

Quran 27:76 Verse 27:76 This Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of the (religious) matters in which they have had disagreements.

Quran 32:22 Verse 32:22 And who does the greatest wrong than the person who is reminded of the revelations of their Lord (Allah) and then turns away from them. We (Allah) shall punish the evildoers.

Quran 32:23 Verse 32:23 We (Allah) gave Prophet Moses Musa the Scripture (the Torah Taurat) so (people of Mecca Makkah) do not be in doubt about receiving it (the truthful revelations of Allah mentioned in Quran 32:22). And We (Allah) made it (the truthful revelations of Allah in the Torah Taurat) guidance for the Children of Israel. 

Quran 37:37 Verse 37:37 No (you should not if he was mad) but he (Prophet Muhammad) brought the Truth, and he confirmed (the truth of) those (messengers of Allah who were) sent (before him).

Note 1. Allah protects His Books so that every human can directly confirm the truth that is revealed to them.

Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.

Note 1. Allah protects His Books so that every human can directly confirm the truth that is revealed to them.

See 1. Allah protects the Torah, Gospel and Quran.

See 2. Quran 34:12 and 34:13 and 34:21 comments.

Quran 34:15 Koran 34:15 Verse 34:15 Ayah 34:15 Ayat 34:15 Aya 34:15 For (the people of) Sheba Saba there was a sign (from Allah) in their homeland. (It was) two gardens on the right and on the left (and it was said to them) "Eat of the provision from your Lord (Allah) and be grateful to Him (Allah). (You have) a good land and a forgiving Lord (Allah).”

Quran 34:16 Koran 34:16 Verse 34:16 Ayah 34:16 Ayat 34:16 Aya 34:16 But they (the people of Sheba Saba) turned away (from Allah) so We (Allah) sent against them a large flood, and We (Allah) exchanged their two (bountiful) gardens with gardens of bitter fruit and tamarisks (a shrub or tree with scale-like leaves and white or pink flowers that grows near water) and some lotus trees (a low thorny bush that grows near water).

Quran 34:17 Koran 34:17 Verse 34:17 Ayah 34:17 Ayat 34:17 Aya 34:17 This (punishment) We (Allah) gave to them (the people of Sheba Saba) because they were ungrateful (to Allah their creator). We (Allah) do not punish except those who are ungrateful (to Allah their creator).

Quran 34:18 Koran 34:18 Verse 34:18 Ayah 34:18 Ayat 34:18 Aya 34:18 And We (Allah) placed between them (the people of Sheba Saba) and the (other) towns which We (Allah) had blessed, towns that were easily seen so as to make the stages (of the journey) between them easy (saying), "Travel between them (towns) safely in the night and in the day."

Quran 34:19 Koran 34:19 Verse 34:19 Ayah 34:19 Ayat 34:19 Aya 34:19 But they (the people of Sheba Saba) said (as a challenge to the existence of Allah), "Our Lord (Allah) make the distance between our journey longer," thereby doing wrong to themselves, so We (Allah) made them to be a story (that is an example to other people), and We (Allah) completely scattered them. In this are signs for all who are patient and grateful (to Allah their creator).

Quran 34:20 Koran 34:20 Verse 34:20 Ayah 34:20 Ayat 34:20 Aya 34:20 And Satan Shaitan found that his belief concerning them (humans, that it is easy to misguide humans so they will follow Satan Shaitan) was true, except for a group who were the believers (in Allah).

Quran 34:21 Koran 34:21 Verse 34:21 Ayah 34:21 Ayat 34:21 Aya 34:21 And he (Satan Shaitan) has no authority over them (humans), except so that We (Allah) might make clear those who believe in the Hereafter from those who doubt it (the Hereafter) and your Lord (Allah) is the guardian over every thing.

Comment 1. The purpose of Satan Shaitan is to show who truly believes in Allah.

Comment 2.  Forgiveness of sin depends on a correct belief in Allah.

Why is Satan Shaitan not going to Paradise Jannah?

Satan Shaitan does not do goodness in the world.

Belief without good behaviour is not a true belief in the judgement of Allah.

Satan Shaitan believes in the hereafter but that shall not save him from the fire in Hell Jahannam in the hereafter.

Satan Shaitan believes in Allah but that shall not save him from the fire in Hell Jahannam in the hereafter.

Belief without good behaviour is a false belief in the judgement of Allah.

Some people use the name of Allah to hide sin from them self by shouting Allah is the greatest Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar when they are doing the forbidden great evil of killing innocent Muslims and innocent non Muslims.

Such people have abandoned and deserted the stories of the Quran of Allah for the hadith stories of humans.

They have put the hadith stories of humans above the stories of Allah in the Quran.

They follow the hadith stories of humans instead of following the stories of Allah in the Quran.

If hadith stories agree with the Koran Quran then accept it.

If hadith stories do not agree with the Koran Quran then reject it.

On the Day of Judgement Allah judges by the words in the protected Koran Quran.

On the Day of Judgement Allah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.

The Quran is the protected word of Allah including the protected words of Prophet Muhammad.

Quran 6:158 Verse 6:158 "... belief in it (Allah 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 29:9 Verse 29:9 And for those who believe and do righteous deeds We (Allah) shall make them enter among the righteous (in Paradise Jannah).

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

See. Quran 25:30 comments with examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allah in Quran chapter 25.

Quran 34:22 Koran 34:22 Verse 34:22 Ayah 34:22 Ayat 34:22 Aya 34:22 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia), “Call on those whom you (mistakenly) pray to instead of (correctly praying only to) Allah. They (the stone idols) do not even have (power equal to) an atom in the (events in the) heavens or (in the events) on the earth, nor have they any partnership (with Allah in deciding what shall happen) in either (the heavens or the earth), nor has He (Allah) have among them (idols to whom you pray) any partnership in both (the ruling of the heavens and the earth) and not for Him (Allah) from them (idols is there) any supporter (helper)."

Comment 1. Praying to anything that Allah has created is idol worship because only Allah the creator has the power to hear prayer.

Anything or anyone who Allah has created is not a partner with Allah in deciding anything in the heavens and on the earth because only Allah the creator has any power to decide what happens in the heavens and on the earth.

Allah the creator is independent of what is created. Nothing that Allah creates is Allah because their is only one creator and all others are creations. 

Quran 34:23 Koran 34:23 Verse 34:23 Ayah 34:23 Ayat 34:23 Aya 34:23 No intercession shall benefit anyone (on the Day of Judgement) except for whom He (Allah) permits (intercession). When fear is removed from their hearts they (the people) ask (the intercessor whom Allah permitted to intercede for them), “What reply did your Lord (Allah) give (about Allah’s judgment of us)?” They (the intercessor whom Allah permitted to intercede for them) shall say, “(Allah’s judgement of you is) the truth (which no one can dispute because the evidence is clear)." He (Allah) is the highest (worthy of praise) and the greatest (in importance to every creation)."

Quran 34:24 Koran 34:24 Verse 34:24 Ayah 34:24 Ayat 34:24 Aya 34:24 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah), “Who gives you provision from the heaven and the earth?” (They shall) say, “Allah.” (Say to them) then certainly you (who pray to created stone idols) or I (who pray to Allah the creator) are either rightly guided or in clear error.

Comment 1. Which is correct, praying to something that Allah created or praying to Allah the creator? 

Quran 34:25 Koran 34:25 Verse 34:25 Ayah 34:25 Ayat 34:25 Aya 34:25 Say, (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah), "(On the Day of Judgement) you shall not be asked about what I did and neither shall I be asked about what you did (because Allah’s judgement shall only be based on what each creation has done in their life)."

Comment 1. On the Day of Judgement Allah’s judgement shall only be based on what each creation has done in their life. 

Quran 4:123 Verse 4:123 It (entry to Paradise in the hereafter) shall not be based on your (Muslim) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than Allah (Allah, in the hereafter).

Quran 34:26 Koran 34:26 Verse 34:26 Ayah 34:26 Ayat 34:26 Aya 34:26 Say, “Our Lord (Allah) shall bring us all together (on the Day of Resurrection) and then He (Allah) shall judge between us with truth (with justice). He (Allah) is the Judge and the all-knowning.”

Quran 34:27 Koran 34:27 Verse 34:27 Ayah 34:27 Ayat 34:27 Aya 34:27 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia), "Show me those to whom you (mistakenly prayed instead of correctly praying to Allah because in your imagination you) have joined (creations) as partners with Him (Allah the creator). No (you cannot show any partner for Allah because Allah has no partners. Allah the creator decides everything Himself. Allah has no partners in making of Allah’s decisions) because He (alone) is Allah the mightyand the wise."

Quran 34:28 Koran 34:28 Verse 34:28 Ayah 34:28 Ayat 34:28 Aya 34:28 And We (Allah) have not sent you (Prophet Muhammad) except to bring to all people the good news (of reward in the Hereafter for the good doer) and as a warner (of punishment in the Hereafter for the evil doer) but most of the people do not understand this (because). – (Continued Quran 34:29).

Quran 34:29 Koran 34:29 Verse 34:29 Ayah 34:29 Ayat 34:29 Aya 34:29 – They say, "When is this promise (of the Day of Resurrection coming) if you are telling the truth?"

Quran 34:30 Koran 34:30 Verse 34:30 Ayah 34:30 Ayat 34:30 Aya 34:30 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “The promise to you is of a Day (of Resurrection) that you cannot delay nor hurry by even an hour.”

Quran 34:31 Koran 34:31 Verse 34:31 Ayah 34:31 Ayat 34:31 Aya 34:31 And those who disbelieve (in Allah such as the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia) say, “We do not believe in this Quran or in what was before it (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil). (But in the Hereafter) if you could see, when the wrongdoers shall be brought before their Lord (Allah), how they shall blame one another and how those who were oppressed say to those who were arrogant, “Where it not for you (disbelieving in the Quran and the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil) we would have been believers.”

Quran 34:32 Koran 34:32 Verse 34:32 Ayah 34:32 Ayat 34:32 Aya 34:32 Those who were arrogant shall reply to those who were oppressed, “Did we (the arrogant) drive you (the oppressed) away from the guidance (of the Quran) after it had come to you? No (we did not, so) you (the oppressed) were guilty (of disobedience to Allah)."

Quran 34:33 Koran 34:33 Verse 34:33 Ayah 34:33 Ayat 34:33 Aya 34:33 Those who were oppressed shall say to those who were arrogant, No (you did not) but (you) plotted night and day when you commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and we set up (idols that in our imagination were) equals to Him (Allah). And they shall be filled with regret when they see the punishment (in the Hereafter); and We (Allah) shall put shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they (the wrong doers) not paid (justly by Allah) for anything except what (evil) they used to do (in their life)?

Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allah 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 Allah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil). 

Quran 34:34 Koran 34:34 Verse 34:34 Ayah 34:34 Ayat 34:34 Aya 34:34 And We (Allah) did not sent to any town a warner where its prosperous people did not say, “We are disbelievers in that (purpose of calling for good and warning against evil) for which you have been sent.”

Comment 1. Disbelief.

Quran 27:82 Verse 27:82 And when the word (of Allah that decrees who shall be misguided because they have chosen to follow evil) is fulfilled against them (they are made deaf to Allah and blind to Allah in their hearts) then We (Allah) bring to them a creature from the Earth (a human messenger of Allah) telling them (the warning that is delivered by every messenger of Allah which Allah tells us is) "That (all) people did not believe Our (Allah’s) revelations with certainty (as they should)."

Quran 34:34 Verse 34:34 And We (Allah) did not sent to any town a warner where its prosperous people did not say, “We are disbelievers in that (purpose of calling for good and warning against evil) for which you have been sent.”

Quran 34:35 Koran 34:35 Verse 34:35 Ayah 34:35 Ayat 34:35 Aya 34:35 And they (some of the Jews in Yathrib) say, “We have more (than you have) in wealth and children. We shall not be punished (in the hereafter except for a few days).” – (Continued in Quran 34:36).

Comment 1. Who said we are more in wealth and children?

Quran 3:181 Verse 3:181 (When the Muslims were collecting donations to defend Yathrib against the stone idol worshippers from Makkah) Allah surely heard the saying of (some of) those (Jews of Yathrib) who said, "Allah is poor and we are rich." We (Allah) shall record their saying and their (boasting of their) wrongful killing of the prophets and We (Allah) shall say (to them in the hereafter) suffer the punishment of Hell fire (for what you said about Allah and about Allah’s prophets).

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 Allah and His (Allah’s) good pleasure (for the good doers), whereas the life of the world is (like) the enjoyment of an illusion (created by Allah that shall soon disappear).

1a. Who said we shall not be punished?

Quran 3:24 Verse 3:24 This (disobedience to Allah in this world) is because they say (by inventing the idea that), "The fire (of punishment in the Hereafter) shall not touch us (Jews) except for a few days (and then every Jew goes to Paradise Jannah).” What they (the Jews in Yathrib Arabia) invented has deceived them regarding their religion (meaning what they believe is not true).

See Quran 34:25..

Quran 4:123 Verse 4:123 (Entry to Paradise Jannah) shall not be based on your (the Muslim's) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong (on the earth) shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than Allah (in the hereafter).

Note 1. Allah will judge Muslims and Christians and Jews and every creation justly in the hereafter.

Quran 34:36 Koran 34:36 Verse 34:36 Ayah 34:36 Ayat 34:36 Aya 34:36 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the Jews in Yathrib), “My Lord (Allah) increases provision for whom He (Allah) wills and restricts it (for whom Allah wills). But most people do not understand that." – (Continued 34:37).

Quran 34:37 Koran 34:37 Verse 34:37 Ayah 34:37 Ayat 34:37 Aya 34:37 – It is not your wealth or your children that shall bring you close to Us (Allah), but the person who believes and does good (deeds). Theirs shall be a twofold reward (twice in Quran 28:54, twofold in Quran 34:37 and double in Quran 57:28) for what they (the Jews like Quran 3:113 - 3:115 and the Christians like Quran 5:82 - 5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran) did (because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allah 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) and they (those Jews and Christians) shall live secure in the high dwellings (in Paradise Jannah).- (Continued in Quran 34:38)

Comment 1.  Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be given a twofold reward in the hereafter.

The good news message from Allah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.

It is the truth from our Lord (Allah). Even before it (the Quran was revealed to us) we were of those (Jews and Christians) who submitted (to Allah. 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 Allah except Allah …” and submitter and submission for the Jewish people is in Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allah” 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 Allah, and him only shall you serve” meaning Allah inspired the same belief of Islam which is an Arabic word meaning submission, to Allah in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and in others). - (Continued in Quran 28:54).

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 Allah) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (Allah) have provided to them. (Jews and Christians who have faith in their own prophet and 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 Allah 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 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. See Quran 57:28.

Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allah) 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 Allah 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 (Allah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allah willed He (Allah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allah) 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 Allah you shall all return and He (Allah) 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. Allah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).

Note 2. Allah does require that every religion worship only Allah (Quran 3:85).

Note 3. Allah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allah like the Muslims worship only Allah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allah (Quran 3:64). 

Note 4. Allah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allah 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. Allah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allah and Allah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.

Quran 42:15 Verse 42:15 So (Prophet Muhammad) invite (the people to Allah), and stay on the correct path as you (Prophet Muhammad) are commanded and do not follow their (the peoples) desires (concerning religion) but say, "I believe what Allah has sent down of the Book (in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:41, Quran 3:3, Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:44, Quran 5:68, Quran 20:133 and in the Gospel Injil in Quran 3:3, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:68 and Quran 20:133) and I am commanded that I do justice between you (the Jews, Christians and Muslims). Allah is our Lord and your Lord (meaning Allah is the Lord of the Muslims and the Lord of the Jews and the Christians). For us (Muslims is the responsibility for) our deeds and for you (Jews and Christians is the responsibility for) your deeds. There is no argument between us (Muslims) and between you (the Jews and the Christians because Allah has revealed the same message to all of us to worship Allah who created you and do good in the world and reject evil in the world). Allah shall bring us (Muslims and Christians and Jews and all humankind) together and to Him (Allah) is the final destination (in the hereafter in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:64, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:69).”

Note 1. There is no argument between Muslims and Jews and Christians because the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil and the Quran contain the same message to worship Allah and strive for all that is good.

Comment 2. Why did Allah order Muslims to forgive the Jews?

Not all the Jews of Yathrib Arabia are the same, some are righteous. See Quran 3:113 – 3:115.

Forgiveness to Jews is counted as a good deed in the sight of Allah on the Day of Judgement. 

Quran 5:13 Verse 5:13 "... You shall not cease to discover treachery from them (dishonesty from their words) except for a few of them (who are honest in their word). Even though they (many among the Jews of Arabia) do that (treachery against you), (you should) pardon (forgive) their bad deeds and forgive them. Allah loves those who do good (deeds to other people).

2a. Why is Allah always forgiving the Jews for breaking their covenant with Allah?

Allah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.

Whenever the children of Israel repented Allah forgave them because Allah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.

Sins from evil deeds that were done by earlier generations is not passed on to the souls of a new generation of the children of Israel.

Sins from evil deeds that were done by earlier generations is not passed on to the souls of a new generation of humans.

See Quran 5:71.

2b. Why are the Jews of today innocent of the sins of past generations of Jews? 

Each soul earns the sins that are made by the person that possesses it. 

A soul does not earn any sin that is made by another person (Quran 6:164).

2c. What was the promise of Allah to the Jews delivered by Prophet Muhammad?

See 1. Quran 2:40.

See 2. Quran 3:64.

See 3. Quran 17:8.

See 4. the Jews in Israel and Palestine in Quran 44:32 comments in Quran chapter 44. 

See 5. section H. The Third Temple in the Jewish Bible.

Quran 34:38 Koran 34:38 Verse 34:38 Ayah 34:38 Ayat 34:38 Aya 34:38 (Jews and Christians who followed their Book and also believed the Quran will receive their reward twice in Quran 28:54, twofold in Quran 34:37 and double in Quran 57:28 in the hereafter however) Those (Jews and the Christians who did not believe the Quran for example if Jews did not correctly observe the Torah Taurat by keeping the Sabbath Day which is their everlasting covenant with Allah in every generation forever or if Christians did not correctly observe the Gospel Injil where Prophet Jesus said he is not God "God is my God and your God" meaning God is my Lord and your Lord and "God is my Father and your Father" meaning God is my Creator and your Creator in Gospel of John 20:17 and) who strive against Our (Allah’s) revelations by trying to make them (Allah’s revelations) to fail (for example Jesus is the son of God means Jesus is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses and angels do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God because those who do), they shall be brought to the punishment (of Hell Jahannam in the Hereafter).

Note 1. See Quran 34:37

Quran 34:39 Koran 34:39 Verse 34:39 Ayah 34:39 Ayat 34:39 Aya 34:39 Say, "My Lord (Allah) increases provision for whom He (Allah) wills of His (Allah’s) servants and restricts it for them. And whatever you spend (for good) He (Allah) replaces it. He (Allah) is the best of providers."

Quran 34:40 Koran 34:40 Verse 34:40 Ayah 34:40 Ayat 34:40 Aya 34:40 And on the day (of Resurrection) when He (Allah) shall gather them all together, He (Allah) will say to the angels, “Did these (people) pray to you?”

Quran 34:41 Koran 34:41 Verse 34:41 Ayah 34:41 Ayat 34:41 Aya 34:41 They (the angels) shall say, “You (Allah) are exalted (far above everything that is created). (Only) You (Allah) are our guardian, not those (people). No (those people would have been wrongdoers if they prayed to us because no creation has the power of Allah to be able to hear pray), they used to worship (by praying to) the jinn, most of them (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) were believers in them (they believed those among the jinn who were misguided by Satan Shaitan)."

Quran 34:42 Koran 34:42 Verse 34:42 Ayah 34:42 Ayat 34:42 Aya 34:42 On that day (of Judgement) you (people) shall have no power to benefit or harm anyone. And We (Allah) shall say to those who did wrong, “Taste the punishment of the Fire (in Hell Jahannam) which you used to deny (really existed).”

Quran 34:43 Koran 34:43 Verse 34:43 Ayah 34:43 Ayat 34:43 Aya 34:43 When Our (Allah’s) revelations are clearly recited to them, they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) say, “This (Quran) is only from a man who wants to turn you away from what your fathers used to worship” and they say, “This (Quran) is only an invented lie.” When they hear the truth (the Quran), those who disbelieve (in Allah) say, “This (Quran) is clearly only a fraud (a deception).”

Quran 34:44 Koran 34:44 Verse 34:44 Ayah 34:44 Ayat 34:44 Aya 34:44 And We (Allah) have given them (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) no scriptures which they study or sent to them any warner before you (Prophet Muhammad).

Comment 1.  The Quran was sent to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah.

Prophet Muhammad was sent to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah.

Quran 34:45 Koran 34:45 Verse 34:45 Ayah 34:45 Ayat 34:45 Aya 34:45 And those (who lived in the past) before them (before the time of the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) disbelieved; these (stone idol worshippers in Makkah) have not received a tenth (10 percent) of what We (Allah) had granted to those (people in the past who were sent 90 percent more in miracles and signs as described in the Quran): yet they (the people in the past who saw so much more of the miracles and signs described in the Quran) rejected My (Allah’s) messengers, how terrible was My (Allah’s) disapproval (of them). – (Continued Quran 34:46).

Comment 1. See Quran 34:34 comments.

Quran 34:46 Koran 34:46 Verse 34:46 Ayah 34:46 Ayat 34:46 Aya 34:46 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “I call for you to only do one thing, devote yourselves for the sake of Allah (by praying to Allah) in pairs and individually and then by thinking (about what your creator has revealed).” In your companion (Prophet Muhammad) there is no madness. He (Prophet Muhammad) is only a warner to you before a (day of) great punishment (in the hereafter).

Quran 34:47 Koran 34:47 Verse 34:47 Ayah 34:47 Ayat 34:47 Aya 34:47 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “No reward have I (Prophet Muhammad) ever asked of you (from anything) that is yours. My reward is from no one but Allah. He (Allah) is the witness over all things.”

Quran 34:48 Koran 34:48 Verse 34:48 Ayah 34:48 Ayat 34:48 Aya 34:48 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “My Lord (Allah) sends the truth. (Allah) knows about all unseen things (such as the future and everything that you do not know).”

Quran 34:49 Koran 34:49 Verse 34:49 Ayah 34:49 Ayat 34:49 Aya 34:49 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “The Truth (the word of Allah) has come and falsehood shall be removed (by the truth in Allah’s Quran) and shall not comeback (because Allah protects the truth in Allah’s Quran)."

Comment 1.  Allah protects the Torah, Gospel and Quran.

Quran 34:50 Koran 34:50 Verse 34:50 Ayah 34:50 Ayat 34:50 Aya 34:50 Say, “If I go astray (from Allah) it is only my own loss, and if I am rightly guided (by Allah) it is because of what my Lord (Allah) has revealed to me. He (Allah) hears all and is near (to all Allah’s creations because Allah sustains every creature).”

Quran 34:51 Koran 34:51 Verse 34:51 Ayah 34:51 Ayat 34:51 Aya 34:51 If you could see (in the Hereafter) when they (who were astray from Allah) shall be terrified but there shall be no escape (on the day of resurrection), and they will be taken away forcibly (to the fire of Hell Jahannam which is the home for those who rejected the doing of good and accepted the doing of evil in the world).

Quran 34:52 Koran 34:52 Verse 34:52 Ayah 34:52 Ayat 34:52 Aya 34:52 And they (who disbelieved in Allah) shall say (in the Hereafter), “(Now) we believe in it (Allah and the resurrection and the hereafter). But how can they (who disbelieved in Allah) receive (faith and then repent and then be forgiven by Allah) from a far away place (which was their past life on earth that shall never be repeated and where they had rejected Allah, and rejected repentance and rejected forgiveness)."

Quran 34:53 Koran 34:53 Verse 34:53 Ayah 34:53 Ayat 34:53 Aya 34:53 And they (who disbelieved in Allah) had already disbelieved in it (Allah) before and had ridiculed the unseen (the existence of the Hereafter) from a far away place (which was their past life on earth that shall never be repeated and where they had rejected Allah, and rejected repentance and rejected forgiveness).

Quran 34:54 Koran 34:54 Verse 34:54 Ayah 34:54 Ayat 34:54 Aya 34:54 And a barrier shall be between them (who had disbelieved in Allah on earth) and that which they desire (to repent to Allah in the Hereafter), as was done for people of their kind (other disbelievers) in the past (who rejected Allah on earth and where punished by Allah while they were still living on the earth). They (who had disbelieved in Allah on earth) were clearly in doubt (of Allah by rejecting the messengers of Allah).

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.

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

In the English language the word Allah is God.

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