Quran 31:In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Alif, Lam, Meem.
2. These are the Verses of the Wise Book.
3. A guide and a mercy for the righteous.
4. Those who observe the prayer, and pay the obligatory charity, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5. These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
6. Among the people is he who trades in distracting tales; intending, without knowledge, to lead away from God’s way, and to make a mockery of it. These will have a humiliating punishment.
7. And when Our Verses are recited to him, he turns away in pride, as though he did not hear them, as though there is deafness in his ears. So inform him of a painful punishment.
8. As for those who believe and do good deeds—for them are the Gardens of Bliss.
9. Dwelling therein forever. The promise of God is true. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
10. He created the heavens without pillars that you can see, and placed stabilizers on earth lest it shifts with you, and scattered throughout it all kinds of creatures. And from the sky We sent down water, and caused to grow therein of every noble pair.
11. Such is God’s creation. Now show me what those besides Him have created. In fact, the wicked are in obvious error.
Sorry... the commentary won't let me copy and paste this morning.
Guess we're supposed to understand that God made everything and it's not ever a good idea to mock Him.
It's a horrible to twist the words to make the meaning fit your own ideas.... and then teach that from the pulpit.
I'm sorry it won't work.... but maybe tomorrow.
In the meanwhile.... prayer and good works.... that's what these verses are calling for!
