The Majestic Quran

all the elements including Iron ‘came down’ from the stars, they are ‘stardust’. The Quran’s choice of ‘ Anzalna ’ we sent down Iron is not accidental. It shows it’s from the Lord who created the stars and the universe. Here the Quran is inviting us to use the spiritual (scripture) and the material (iron) to succeed. One without the other would be disorder. In the name of God, the Kind, the Caring. A G 1 All things in the Heavens and the Earth glorify God; the Almighty, the Wise. 2 The Heavens and the Earth are in His control; He gives life, death and has absolute control over all things. 3 He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Unseen and the Knower of all things. 4 He created Heavens and the Earth in six days, then established Himself on His Throne as befits Him . He knows what goes inside the Earth and what comes out from it, and what comes down from the sky, and what goes up. He is with you wherever you are, and sees whatever you do. 5 He has the control of the Heavens and the Earth and all things will return to God. 6 He extends the night into the day, and the day into the night, so varying the length of day and night . He is the Knower of the secrets of the mind. E 7 Believe in God and His Messenger, and spend from what He has handed over to you. The believers who spend in God’s way will have a great reward. 8 What is the matter with you that you don’t believe in God, when the Messenger calls you so that you may believe in your Lord? He has already taken a pledge from you, if you are believers. 9 He reveals clear teachings to His servant, to take you out of darkness into light, and treats you kindly. 10 Why don’t you spend in God’s way? All things in the Heavens and the Earth belong to God. None of you can be equal to him who spent and fought before the victory of Makkah . Their status is far higher than those who spent and fought afterwards. However, God promised to be generous to all. He is fully aware of what you do. C H
