Jazaki Allah kharian sister Amira
Mash a Allah she brought to you amai very good replies. However, presenting more simple explanation shall not harm. It will only double your efforts amai for reading all of them
.
He sustains everyone's very basic needs, even if we don't believe in him. because of that, he deserves to be worshipped. but why does he sustain our needs? because he loves us, cares for us, or just playing around?
[b:b0010f2c1b]He sustains our needs because we are His creation and a Creator does not neglect His Creation. One of His Names is Al Qaiyoum One who supports, takes care and provides. So through His names we benefit regardless of our faith. Cann’t u see this. He gives His creation a chance after another to repent and return to Him. He treats the non believers through His Name Al Sabour: The All Patient. [/color:b0010f2c1b][/b:b0010f2c1b]
but it seems to me as if he does that because he cares and loves us. if he doesn't love nonbelievers, he could just let it rain on most of Middle East more often and let the USA suffer from drought. but he doesn't do that, does he?(it's even the other way around!) is it safe to conclude that he loves us?
[b:b0010f2c1b]Of course He cares for His Creation and He is always waiting for them to repent and realize the truth. He gives chances, explains through signs, but never forces. Simply because He does not need to. And actually you failed to see the point in this. You just switched it around. I told you He does not force us. But then He can not be held accountable if we violate the rules. And the final results are in the Day After. [/b:b0010f2c1b]
1. "Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood," (96:2).
2. "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape," (15:26).
3. "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was," (3:59).
4. . "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?" (19:67, Yusuf Ali). Also, 52:35).
5. "He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer!" (16:4)
sobhan Allah we sure are disputers .
When Allah Is talking about creating children of Adam from nothing #4 He confirms that children of Adam is part of the whole creation which originally was created from nothing. And actually it is a reminder from Allah for us to realize our situation and position. I think you know that. While verse 1. Allah challenged mankind to bring one verse similar to the Quran. They can not because 1400 years ago, He explained the medical evolution of an embryo. This was part of the miraculous Quran. However, in this verse He presented to us that after His original creation, we shall procreate in this way.
In another position, #2 He clarifies exactly the substance of which Adam was made of and was the reason for Satan to become arrogant. Which is the moulded clay. Again in verse 3 He is addressing people like you telling you don’t you see Issa is like Adam who was made from dust and then commanded him be and he was. So why are you disputing about Issa. In other words Issa is just a human being a child of Adam just like him. You tend to see half the verse read the rest of it. You will understand more. Read until 61. And if you want I can tell you why this verse was revealed.
He Then for further explanation Allah specifically clarifies the creation of Adam from mud which is dust mixed with water. That was the creation of Adam the first of mankind. However, Allah gave us the ability of procreation. And He clearly explained as it is from the blood clot. No contradiction at all amai. Each position is totally different from the other.
Then #5 is again explaining in full the life cycle of the embryo to remind us of our origin and blame us that after this we turn into disputers. In fact we are. As you see no contradiction at all. But each position is explaining a stage of the creation and serves a purpose.
And by the way do you know that Prophet Issa peace and prayer be upon him spoke in the cradle when he was an infant. If you want to know tell me.
And Allah Knows best
