P. 69
There is no creature on the earth which is not dependent upon
Allah for its provision. He knows where it lives and where it dies.
They are all in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 11:6)
So that Allah can reward them for the best of what they did and
give them more from His unbounded favour. Allah provides for
anyone He wills without reckoning. (Qur'an, 24:38)
Were Allah to expand the provision of His servants, they would
act as tyrants on the earth. But He sends down whatever He wills
in a measured way. He is aware of and He sees His servants.
(Qur'an, 42:27)
Allah expands provision to anyone He wills and restricts it. They
rejoice in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world, compared
to the hereafter, is only fleeting enjoyment. (Qur'an, 13:26)
IT IS HE WHO GRANTS LAUGHTER
AND TEARS
That it is He Who brings about both laughter and tears. (Qur'an,
53:43)
HE GIVES LIFE AND DEATH
How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave
you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again,
then you will be returned to Him? (Qur'an, 2:28)
It is He Who takes you back to Himself at night, while knowing
the things you perpetrate by day, and then wakes you up again,
so that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then you will return to
Him. Then He will inform you about what you did. (Qur'an, 6:60)
We said, 'Hit him with part of it!' In that way Allah gives life to the
dead and He shows you His Signs so that hopefully you will
understand. (Qur'an, 2:73)
HE BRINGS THE DEAD TO LIFE
And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah will raise
up all those in the graves. (Qur'an, 22:7)
