ALLAH KARIM - 5

As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

Allah SWT Says :

O you assembly of Jinns and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

This is because Allah Karim would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrong-doing (i.e. associating others in worship along with Allah) while their people were unaware (so the Messengers were sent). Al-AN'AM (6) : 130-131.

In this Post we see the proofs regarding the existence of Allah Karim as per other Divine Religions. Quran shows us how Allah Karim refers to the earlier scriptures that He had revealed and His message to them to now embrace Allah’s words in the Quran. Consider what Allah says in the Quran:

And (remember) when We gave Musa (Moses) the scripture [the Taurat (Torah)] and the criterion (of right and wrong) so that you may be guided aright.” AL-BAQARA (2) : 53.

O people of the scripture! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Îsa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was a Messenger of Allah and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh ) created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. AN-NISA (4) : 171.

O people of the scripture! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad (S) making (things) clear unto you, after a break in (the series of) Messengers, lest you say: “There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner.” But now has come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner. And Allah is Able to do all things. AL-MA'IADA (5) : 19.

For those doubting Quran as the word of the God, Allah challenges mankind to read and ponder over its verses. Unfortunately, the critics of Quran are usually those who have neither pondered over the Quran nor try to understand its verses in the context in which they were revealed and addressed to mankind. As a result, they only see what their ignorance leads them to see. Allah challenges those people by asking them:

“Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah they would surely have found therein much contradictions.” AN-NISA (4) : 82.
