Quran 31: 20. Do you not see how God placed at your service everything in the heavens and the earth? How He showered you with His blessings, both outward and inward? Yet among the people is he who argues about God without knowledge, without guidance, and without an enlightening Scripture.
21. And when it is said to them, “Follow what God has revealed,” they say, “Rather, we follow what we found our parents devoted to.” Even if Satan is calling them to the suffering of the Blaze?
22. Whoever submits himself wholly to God, and is a doer of good, has grasped the most trustworthy handle. With God rests the outcome of all events.
23. Whoever disbelieves—let not his disbelief sadden you. To Us is their return. Then We will inform them of what they did. God knows what lies within the hearts.
24. We give them a little comfort; then We compel them to a harsh torment.
25. And if you ask them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” They will say, “God.” Say, “Praise be to God.” But most of them do not know.
26. To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is the Rich, the Praised.
27. If all the trees on earth were pens, filled by the ocean, with seven more oceans besides, the Words of God would not run out. God is Majestic and Wise.
28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. God is Hearing and Seeing.
29. Have you not seen how God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that God is Cognizant of everything you do?
30. That is because God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because God is the Exalted, the Supreme.
31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person.
32. When waves, like canopies, cover them, they call upon God, devoting their religion to Him. But when He has delivered them to dry land, some of them waver. No one renounces Our revelations except the treacherous blasphemer.
33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of God is true. Therefore, do not let this life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding God.
34. With God rests the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed
Here's where I found the commentary.It won't copy and paste again. Maybe the next chapter will.
At any rate..... I've seen a couple of interesting things in these verses ..... of course I'll point them out.
Check out verse 27..... if all the trees were pens and they pens were filled with enough ink to fill the oceans seven times over.... there still wouldn't be enough ink to say everything God will say. What an interesting idea. Can't you just imagine trees writing..... oh that's quite a cartoon to imagine first thing in the morning... but God is eternal.... and He will have plenty to tell us through eternity.
Now.... check out verse 31..... consider.... floatation.... and on top of that let's consider the Air Craft Carriers..... they float...just like ivory soap... they float. How fricking amazing is it.... that God gave us so much surface tension.... we can float a boat! God will give us "whatever floats our boats"!?!
Whatever floats your boat!
