The words of the Torah stating that Allah would only realize His
Promise to the Jews on the condition that they love Him and obey Him
And when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey
Him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything
I command youtoday then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes
and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations
where He scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most
distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will
gather you and bring you back. He will bring you to the land that
belonged to yourfathers ... He will make you more prosperous and
numerous than your fathers… Then the LORD your God will make you most
prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your
womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD
will again delight in you and make you prosperous,just as he delighted
in your fathers, if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands
and decrees ... and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul .(Deuteronomy, 30:2-10)
Some of the blessings promisedto Jews when they comply with the
commands of Allah
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all His
commands I give you today... all these blessings will come upon you
and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: "You will be blessed
in the city and blessed in the country... The fruit of your womb will
be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your
livestock--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your
basket and your kneading trough will beblessed. You will be blessed
when you come in and blessed when you go out... The Lord will send a
blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The
Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you... if you
keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways ... The
Lord will open theheavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain
on your landin season and to bless all the work of your hands... If
you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you
this day and carefully follow them ...(Deuteronomy, 28:1-14)
Some of the threats of Allah upon Jews when they do not live with the
fear of Allah, with the love for Allah, when they do not comply with
the commands of faith.
However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully
follow all His commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these
curses will come upon you and overtake you : You will be cursed in the
city and cursed in the country... The Lord will send on you curses,
confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are
destroyed and cometo sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in
forsaking him... you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms
on earth… You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day
you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.. You will
build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard,
but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit… Youwill have nothing
but cruel oppression all your days… You will sow much seed in the
field but you will harvest little… All these curses will come upon
you… because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the
commands and decrees he gave you … therefore in hunger and thirst, in
nakedness and dire poverty… If you… do not revere this glorious and
awesome name—the Lord your God—the Lord will send fearful plagues on
you and your descendants, harshand prolonged disasters, and severe and
lingering illnesses … You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky
will be left butfew in number, because you did not obey the Lord your
God … Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end
of the earth to the other… Among those nations you will find no
repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord
will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a
despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with
dread both night and day, never sure of your life …(Deuteronomy,
28:15-68)

QUR'AN AYATH EXPLANATION :- ~ A Fast Runner Lizard: Basilisk

A Fast Runner Lizard: Basilisk

The basilisk is a lizard species that can run very fast by standingup.
This lizard is so fast that it runs on water by taking up to 20steps
per second. As its feet touch the water, every toe shortens to
increase the foot's surface area and thus push the water easily. In
this way, its feet easily balance the body weight. When the lizard's
feet push against the water, it forms an air bubble to get extra
support and buys time for the other foot to complete its turn and
touch the water. As the weight is transferred to the second foot, the
lizard pulls its first foot away from the water before the bubble
disappears. The air bubble is very important, because if the foot
directly touches the water, the lizard could fall into the water.
When the movement of the lizardis compared to human beings, a human
would need to run at a speed of 30 meters per second and its muscles
would need to flex 15 times more than normal in order to do this
movement; this is of course impossible.
Scientists examine the movementstrategies of this being and aim to
develop systems that can prevent the elderly from falling down. Of
course, the basilisk walking on water is a result of Allah's control
over all beings on earth. In one verse it is revealed as such:
" Do you not know that Allah is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens
and the earth belongs and that, besides Allah,you have no protector
and no helper? " (Surat al-Baqara, 107)
The Miracle Tree That Purifies Water: Moringa Oleifera
A tree species named "moringa oleifera" that is widespread in Africa,
India and Indonesia not only supplies food and fuel needs but also
purifies the water.When the crushed seeds of this plant known as the
"miracle tree" are put into muddy water, it makes the particles in
water clog and so sinks to the bottom and removes the muddiness. In
addition to this it kills many microbes and bacteria as it sinks to
the bottom because our Lord created a protein with antibacterial
features inside the seeds of this tree. Scientists plan to tie this
protein to the soil and clean the bacteria and organic compounds
inside the soil. However, for now, the only problem is to ensure the
sustainability of this cleanliness, because if the appropriate
techniques are not used, organic compounds could return to water
again. No doubt, using thismethod to purify water would prevent the
residues that containmany bacteria and viruses which cause
environmental pollution. This special structure of the plantis only
one of the details of Allah's art of creation. Allah's control over
and matchless creation of living things is revealed in one verse:
"That is Allah, your Lord; there is on god but He, the Creator of all
things, so worship Him. And He is Disposer of all things." (Surah
al-An'am, 102)
Almighty Allah granted living things a variety of qualities to
survive, maintain their existence and continue their species.
Theseliving beings have the ability to struggle against many problems,
which are incomparable to human beings, and very difficult conditions.
These beings, which are the unique examples of our Lord's art of
creation and knowledge, can hunt, defend their own by running away
from their enemies ,and protect their offspring thanks to these
amazing qualities. Almighty Allah revealed that He created very
different animals in one verse of the Qur'an:
"Have they not seen how We created for them, by Our own handiwork,
livestock which are under their control? " (Surah Ya Sin, 71)
Allah created all living things together with the superior qualities
they must have for their livelihood. All of these qualities, which
amaze us when we learn of them, are only some of the examples of
Allah's unique creation and infinite might and that He controls
everything.

QUR'AN AYATH EXPLANATION :- ~ Mechanism That Prevents Husky Dogs From Freezing

Husky dogs that live in Alaska area canine species that can run very
fast and thanks to this quality they are frequently used in pulling a
sled. One of the most interesting characteristics of these beings,
which can live at minus 60 degrees temperature due to their thick
fur, is that theirfeet are not affected and not frozen when walking in
this cold.When scientists examine the footstructure of these dogs,
they discovered that there is a unique temperature change system in
their veins. Also this system not only transfers the heat to their
feet, but also makes sure that theblood that will return to the
heartis at the appropriate temperature.
There is no doubt that this structure is only one of the works of
Allah's infinite wisdom and matchless creation. In one verse it is
revealed as such:
" Say: 'To whom does everything in the heavens and earth belong?' Say:
'To Allah.' He has made mercy incumbent on Himself. He will gather you
to the Day of Rising about which there is no doubt. As for those who
have lost their own selves, they have no iman. " (Surat Al-An'am, 12)
The Fish That Walks on Four Fins
The red-lipped batfish is the only fish that walks on its four fins.
This fish has a very strange appearance with its fins created to walk,
its nose with a peculiar shape and big red lips.
The batfish can walk on the sandlike a man using their chest fins.
Using these fins, the batfish can easily stand on the ocean floor and
walk on the tips of their fins.As with the angler fish, the batfish
also has small skin parts, which they use as a fishhook, underneath
their nose to trick other fish.
As in every living being, Allah is the One Who creates these beings
with interesting features compatible with their needs.
"That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. " (Surat
Al-An'am, 102)
Sticky Hairs of the Gecko Fish
The gecko fish, which is a small fish species found on the North
Pacific coasts, are specialized in holding onto the rocks while
searching for food, by sticking. This is because our Lord created a
sticking technique on the fins of these fish like the gecko fish.
There are tiny hairs on these fins.Thanks to this, they can hold onto
hard surfaces at an atomic degree. Thanks to this sticky surface, the
fish can also carry 180 times its own weight. No doubt, the fins,
which Almighty Allah granted to this fish as a blessing, are a perfect
system for this creature to feed. These characteristics, which are
examples of Allah's infinite knowledge and matchless art, are revealed
in the Qur'an as such:
" In the heavens and earth there are certainly Signs for thefaithful.
And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about there
are Signs for people with certainty. " (Surat al-Jathiyya, 3-4)

Islamic Article :- ‘ALLAH’ IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE NAME FOR GOD

It is becoming increasingly understood by many Muslims that the name
'Allah' is the only correct designation for God. This understanding is
neither supported by the Quran nor by history.
The name 'Allah' is only an Arabic name for God. It is not an
exclusive name for God. God is understood as an unfathomable, supreme
entity not a name.
The reason why the Quran makes use of the word 'Allah' to refer to God
is because the Quran is primarily addressing an Arab audience and
therefore has been conveyed in Arabic speech. Previous scriptures were
not in Arabic nor did previous messengers speakArabic. The name for
God inthe previous scriptures are in the language of the Hebrew and
later Greek scriptures not in Arabic. Forexample, 'El' as is cited in
the Hebrew Tanakh refers to an entity, a supreme power and not just a
Canaanite God.
See Exodus 6.2-3:
"And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I am the Lord (Hebrew:
Yahweh) and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God
Almighty (Hebrew: 'El Shaddai') but I was not known to them bymy name
'Yahweh'
Therefore Abraham knew God as 'El' as did Isaac and Jacob and not as
'Yahweh' (As Moses knew him) or 'Allah' as the Arabs would come to
know of Him. In allthe names, the reference is to One Deity.
Even today, Arab Jews and Christians still refer to their God as 'Allah'.
Even before the old religion of Islam was revealed to the Pagan Arabs,
Jewish and Christian Arabs used 'Allah' as the name for their God. The
following Quranic verse confirms this.
002.116
"They say: "Allah has begotten a son" Glory be toHim. Nay, to Him
belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders
worship to Him"
005.018
"(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and
his beloved." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye
are but men, of the men he has created: He forgives whom He pleases,
and He punishes whom He pleases:and to Allah belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and to Him is the
final goal (of all)"
Many Muslims make the counter claim that Christians and Jews used the
true name of God because they had previous scriptures revealed to
them. But this line of reasoning is easily defeated by theQuran when
it makes it clear that even the Arab idolaters (Mushrikeen) called
their 'high' God, 'Allah'
029.061
"If indeed you ask them who has created the Heavens and the Earth and
subjected the Sun and the Moon (to his Law), they willcertainly reply,
"Allah". How are they then deludedaway (from the truth)"?
However, the Quran asks the 'idolaters' (Mushrikeen) not to associate
any partners with the One God, in His majesty, in His power, in His
judgment or indeed, to invoke anyone apart from Him. This can beseen
in the following verse.
039.038
"If indeed you ask them who is it that created the Heavens and the
Earth, they would be sure to say,"Allah". Say: "Then do you see what
you invoke besides Allah? Can they, if Allah wills some penalty for
me, remove His penalty? Or if He wills some grace for me, can they
keep back his grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him do the
trusting put their trust""
Whether we call Him Rab, Lord, God, Almighty, Krishna, Khuda, Yahweh,
Elohim, Adi Purush(Timeless being); Para Brahman (The absolute Truth)
, El, Eli, Eloi, Jehovah, or whichever beautiful name we call Him, it
is with respect, humility and grace that wetake His name with the sole
intentionthat He is One and Only One that we serve. That He is alone
in His majesty, that He created the Heavens and the Earth and
everything init and to Him is our final return. He cannot be
represented by an idol, or astatue and is the only One truly worthy of
worship.
It is the entity, the majesticpower, the One and True all knowing, all
powerful that one refers to not to a particular name. God, in
Histremendous majesty simply cannot be restrictedto any name or any
number of names (The concept of 99 names of Allah is from Ahadith not
the Quran). This would be in effect a restriction on Hismajesty and
God can never be contained, neither physically or linguistically.
It is how you perceive God (without associates and partners), His
entity, and His transcendent majesty not by what beautiful name you
call Him.
CALL HIM BY ANY BEAUTIFUL NAME
017:110
"Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call
upon Him, (it is well): for toHim belong the most beautiful names.
Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, norspeak it in a low tone, but seek a
middle course between.""
This also proves that you can call upon your God by any beautiful name
in yourprayers.
