The Quran Consummates All Scriptures The Commandments order of revelation 87 {2:83} We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: You shall not worship except GOD. You shall honor your parents and regard the relatives, the orphans, and the poor. You shall treat the people amicably. You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat). But you turned away, except a few of you, and you became averse. {2:84} We made a covenant with you, that you shall not shed your blood, nor shall you evict each other from your homes. You agreed and bore witness. {2:85} Yet, here you are killing each other, and evicting some of you from their homes, banding against them sinfully and maliciously. Even when they surrendered, you demanded ransom from them. Evicting them was prohibited for you in the first place. Do you believe in part of the scripture and disbelieve in part? What should be the retribution for those among you who do this, except humiliation in this life, and a far worse retribution on the Day of Resurrection? GOD is never unaware of anything you do. {2:86} It is they who bought this lowly life at the expense of the Hereafter. Consequently, the retribution is never commuted for them, nor can they be helped. The Prophets of Israel {2:87} We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent to him we sent other messengers, and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not a fact that every time a messenger went to you with anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of them you rejected, and some of them you killed. Tragic Statement: My mind is made up! {2:88} Some would say, Our minds are made up! Instead, it is a curse from GOD, as a consequence of their disbelief, that keeps them from believing, except for a few of them. The Quran Consummates All Scriptures {2:89} When this scripture came to them from GOD, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. GODs condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers. {2:90} Miserable indeed is what they sold their souls for - rejecting these revelations of GOD out of sheer resentment that GOD should bestow His grace upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. Consequently, they incurred wrath upon wrath. The disbelievers have incurred a humiliating retribution. {2:91} When they are told, You shall believe in these revelations of GOD, they say, We believe only in what was sent down to us. Thus, they disbelieve in subsequent revelations, even if it is the truth from their Lord, and even though it confirms what they have! Say, Why then did you kill GODs prophets, if you were believers? Learning From Israels History {2:92} Moses went to you with profound miracles, yet you worshiped the calf in his absence, and you turned wicked. {2:93} We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you, saying, You shall uphold the commandments we have given you, strongly, and listen. They said, We hear, but we disobey. Their hearts became filled with adoration for the calf, due to their disbelief. Say, Miserable indeed is what your faith dictates upon you, if you do have any faith. {2:94} Say, If the abode of the Hereafter is reserved for you at GOD, to the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death, if you are truthful. {2:95} They never long for it, because of what their hands have sent forth. GOD is fully aware of the wicked. {2:96} In fact, you will find them the most covetous of life; even more so than the idol worshipers. The one of them wishes to live a thousand years. But this will not spare him any retribution, no matter how long he lives. GOD is seer of everything they do. Gabriel Mediates the Revelation {2:97} Say, Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this into your heart, in accordance with GODs will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the believers. 872 + 97 = 969 = 51 X 19 {2:98} Anyone who opposes GOD, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael, should know that GOD opposes the disbelievers. {2:99} We have sent down to you such clear revelations, and only the wicked will reject them. {2:100} Is it not a fact that when they make a covenant and pledge to keep it, some of them always disregard it? In fact, most of them do not believe. Disregarding Gods Scripture {2:101} Now that a messenger from GOD has come to them,* and even though he proves and confirms their own scripture, some followers of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) disregard GODs scripture behind their backs, as if they never had any scripture. *2:101 Gods Messenger of the Covenant is prophesied in the Old Testament (Malachi 3:1-3), the New Testament (Luke 17:22-37), and this Final Testament (3:81). Witchcraft Condemned {2:102} They pursued what the devils taught concerning Solomons kingdom. Solomon, however, was not a disbeliever, but the devils were disbelievers. They taught the people sorcery, and that which was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Haroot and Maroot. These two did not divulge such knowledge without pointing out: This is a test. You shall not abuse such knowledge. But the people used it in such evil schemes as the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone against the will of GOD. They thus learn what hurts them, not what benefits them, and they know full well that whoever practices witchcraft will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they sell their souls for, if they only knew. {2:103} If they believe and lead a righteous life, the reward from GOD is far better, if they only knew. Twisting the Words of Supplication {2:104} O you who believe, do not say, Raa`ena* (be our shepherd). Instead, you should say, Unzurna (watch over us), and listen. The disbelievers have incurred a painful retribution. Jealousy Condemned {2:105} Neither the disbelievers among the followers of the scripture, nor the idol worshipers, wish to see any blessings come down to you from your Lord. However, GOD showers His blessings upon whomever He chooses. GOD possesses infinite grace. The Ultimate Miracle: The Qurans Mathematical Miracle* {2:106] When we abrogate any miracle, or cause it to be forgotten, we produce a better miracle, or at least an equal one. Do you not recognize the fact that GOD is Omnipotent? 8728384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106 = 459388676773046788995752313136683152584215847479110742374 X 19
