Say: 'Praise be to Allah and peace be upon His servants whom He
has chosen.' Is Allah better, or what you associate with Him?
(Qur'an, 27:59)
They will shout out in it, 'Our Lord! Take us out! We will act rightly,
differently from the way we used to act!' Did We not let you live
long enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed?
And did not the warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no
helper for the wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 35:37)
Mankind! Remember Allah's blessing to you. Is there any creator
other than Allah providing for you from heaven and earth? There
is no god but Him. So how have you been perverted? (Qur'an,
35:3)
Does He Who created the heavens and earth not have the power
to create the same again? Yes indeed! He is the Creator, the All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 36:81)
Or were they created out of nothing, or are they the creators? Or
did they create the heavens and the earth? No, in truth they have
no certainty. (Qur'an, 52:35-36)
Have you thought about the sperm that you ejaculate? Is it you
who create it or are We the Creator? (Qur'an, 56:58-59)
Who is there who could provide for you if He withholds His
provision? Yet still they obstinately persist in insolence and
evasion. (Qur'an, 67:21)
Or do you ask them for a wage so they are weighed down with
debt? Or is the Unseen in their hands so they can write out what
is to happen? Or do they desire to dupe you? But the duped ones
are those who do not believe. Or do they have some god other
than Allah? Glory be to Allah above any idol they propose.
(Qur'an, 52:40-43)
Have you thought about what you cultivate? Is it you who make
it germinate or are We the Germinator? If We wished We could
have made it broken stubble. You would then be left devoid of
crops, distraught: (Qur'an, 56:63-65)
