In the name of Allah

Qur'anic challenge

If we read the biography of the prophets (peace of Allah be upon all of them) we will find that most but even all of them were demanded from their enemies and followers for a heavenly miracle and the like, they are forgetting that they themselves are obligated to hard good work for descending the mercy, in addition to that, most of them were not submitting even though they saw Allah's signs and miracles as in the honorable verse: (And among them is one who listens to you; and We have put covers upon their hearts so they may not understand it, and deafness in their ears; and even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; to the extent that when they come to you debate with you, the disbelievers say, " This is nothing but stories of former people) and others from many verses which refer to never submitting to those miracles therefore their fate was the torment as in the honorable verse: (indeed those who denied Our signs and were conceited towards them – the gates of the heavens will not be opened for them nor will they enter Paradise until the camel goes through the needle's and this is the sort of reward We give the guilty) The word signs doesn't mean Qur'an verses or heavenly Books only but it includes the miracles which beset the prophets and guardians.It is known that the line and method of prophecy are almost fraught with difficulties and trials as poverty and fear of rulers as it is clear in the honorable verse: (And remember when We rescued you from Firaun's people for they were inflicting you with a dreadful torment, slaying your sons and sparing your daughters; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord (or a great reward), and some of their followers slip from the way and recommendations and deviate from obeying the prophets even after the matter stabilized to them, as what happened after doom and sinking of Firaun, and as what happened to them when they worship calf whereas Allah said: (O dear Muhammad –peace and blessings be upon him- the people ask you to cause a Book to be sent down on them from heaven so they had asked something even greater from Musa, for they said, show Allah to us, clearly so the thunder seized them on account of their sins, then they chose the calf (for worship) after clear signs had come to them, then We forgave this; and We bestowed Musa with a clear dominance) and others.Yes, the trials which surround the followers of heavenly religions and what beset their age from devious thoughts lead them to slip and the clearest Qur'anic examples is Qaroon and the following verse refers to that: (Indeed, Qaroon was from the people of Musa, he then oppressed them; and We gave him so many treasures that their keys were a heavy for a strong group; when his people said to him," Do not show off, indeed Allah does not like the boastful"). It means he disobeyed, separated and slipped from his method, also those who worshipped the calf from Musa people then their prophet decided to dismissed and isolated them from the others from his followers in order the disobedience doesn't spread among them as in the honorable verse: (Said Musa, therefore go away, for in this life your punishment is that you exclaim " Do not touch!" And indeed for you is a time appointed, which you cannot break; and look at your deity, in front of which you remained squatting the whole day; we swear we will surely burn it and smashing it into bits, discharge it into the river (He was cursed with a disease). (Do not touch) may mean: to keep him away from the work and association but even the complete isolation from the society

Generally, the examples of deviation in Qur'anic verses are more which can't be accounted in this short time…but I'd like to address such people in our age who wreak their anger on the Creator and Divine essence for what they face from trials then they slip, deviate and resort to atheism and trespassing on Allah forgetting Allah speech: (And whatever calamity befalls you, is because of what your hands have earned a there is a great deal He pardons!) It means they deserve the trial and worldly punishment as it is clear in honorable verse: (And when We make man taste some mercy from Us, he rejoices upon it; and if some harm reaches them because of what their own hands have sent before, thereupon man is ungrateful!) and others from verses which I call them ( the base of desert) whereas Allah says: (Indeed Allah doesn't change His favor upon any nation until they change their own condition; and when Allah wills misfortune for a nation, it cannot be repelled; and they do not have any supporter besides Him) Hence, it is better to them to wreak their anger on themselves, their deeds and behaviors which caused trial because they left obedience and resorted to the disobedience so they afflicted with trials

Certainly, the mind and Sharia say about the necessity of reward to the one who does good deed and punishment to the one who disobeys and does wrong deed otherwise the heavenly and worldly systems disorder equally

Generally, anyone from those who deny the existence of Allah should remember their existence in this life and the blessings which surround them and to look to the half full container before looking to the empty half in order not to slip and deviate from the right path, they should remember the speech of Allah: (Have they not been created from some source, or are they themselves the creators?) No, He is Allah Who creates everything, specified the sustenance, raised the heavens without columns for you to observe and there is none that walks whose sustenance does not depend on the mercy of Allah.They also hastened to cling to the Western thoughts which adopt the idea that the great explosion created the creation and universes and the like forgetting that the explosion doesn't happen from the vacuum (or from nothing), this verse has miraculous challenge to each one who denies (Allah) or the Creator whereas the thing (all creation) can't be existent without causer, the verse: (Have they not been created from some source, or are they themselves the creators?) It has many probabilities such us

The first probability: The impossibility of creating from nothing then all Western thoughts fade away which failed to find the first thing and way of existence of explosive elements and others, let's call this probability The principle of creation

The second probability: There is aim for the creation whereas Allah said: (So do you think that We have created you needlessly, and that you do not have to return to Us?), the worldly aim is the obedience and piety as in the honorable verse: (O mankind! We have indeed created you from one man and one woman, and have made you into various nations and tribes so that you may know one another; indeed the more honorable among you, in the sight of Allah, is one who is more pious among you; indeed Allah is All Knowing All Aware) let's call this probability: The utmost creation

The third probability: The necessity of obeying and believing in the Creator and creation, it means, it can't think that the existence of creation is absurd in continuation, we call it: The continuity of creation, but it should include the obedience and submitting to Allah as Allah said: (It is We Who created you, so why do you not accept the truth?) it means the necessity of believing in Him and submitting to Him (the beginning of existence, Doomsday and (continuity) of existence) whereas He is (It is Allah, except Whom there is no God; the King, the Pure, the Giver of peace, the Bestower of Safety, the Protector, the Most Honorable, the Compeller, the Proud; Purity is to Allah from all what they ascribe as partners to Him) Therefore Supreme is Allah above all that they disbelieve in Him from one side, and Supreme is Allah above all that they ascribe as partners from what He created as Firaun who brainwashed his people then they followed him, or what is happening nowadays from idolization and glorifying the West and its sciences and its shameful and forbidden deeds and resort to it in what it does and says but they consider it the savior as if there is no existence to Allah Who has the ability and mercy whereas He respites but doesn't neglect, He is the Most Kind, the Fully Aware, He has mercy and severe punishment

The slave of Allah
