The righteousness and the crisis of human thought

Praise is to Allah who has guided us to Islam, and elevated us through faith, and honored us with servitude, which is the excellence and the station that man won’t attain until he attains the meaning of faith. Allah said: “It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong, that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance” (Surah of Livestock, Verse 82).

The union of faith with certainty is followed with the fixed affirmation in knowledge and in thought that Allah is the Creator, the Lord of everything and its King, the Unique in His Qualities, His Names, and His Acts.
Knowledge is of two types: It is either inspired (by Allah to one of His chosen servants), and this type of knowledge has ceased since it was summarized in Allah’s Preserved Book so it would demonstrate the knowledge of the creatures, and the Qualities, Names, and Acts of the Creator, and so it would be the way through which creatures would know the righteousness and thus would be guided to Him. The other type of knowledge is realized through experimentation, deduction, and observation.

However, the Inspired Knowledge is more firm and encompassing in indicating the sciences of the creatures and every issue relating to the Creator that is known to the creatures. As for the experimentally realized sciences, they are perceived as a result of experiments and proofs and they are an indication to mankind’s understanding and exploitation. Each Inspired Knowledge has a confirming proof within the realized sciences so there is no contradiction in the sources of knowledge or else one of them would be incorrect, and through committing the sources of knowledge there is an affirmation of the knowledge of the Creator –Exalted is He- who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth.

As for thought, it is man’s ability to receive sciences and to subject them for his own benefit to achieve his required goals. The effects of knowledge and thought are reflected on the psyche and behavior of the human individual and result in the certainty in faith, and as a result man would be free of the base inhibitions and would be elevated to a more sublime purpose which is hope in Allah, and in that there is faith without injustice, and that is real security.
It is the contented conscience in addition to the feeling that affairs will end in peace and prosperity that give man his feeling of security. On the other hand, he who loses faith has enveloped his knowledge and thought with injustice and thus deserved the title of ‘ignorant’ since he was content with placing himself in the servitude of anything but Allah, so not only did he linger with the god of his own desires, but also he was fanatically insistent on falsehood despite the fact that the contradiction between perverse science and realized science is obvious, and the contradiction between the former and thought is also obvious. But his own obstinacy has lead to both inner or outer Godlessness and all this reflects seriously on the thought and behavior of all those who have made this their creed, bigotry and even extremism would be his response to any thought or manner that would affect his interests, and what we mean here is that his bigotry would not be in defense of thought (for thought most certainly contradicts him) but a blind defense of the interests attached to this thought. As a result of this bigotry this person would have annulled his thought and behavior with others unless they are equally ignorant, for he shall not change his thought even if you brought him the righteousness and the Clarifying Book.
An intellectual and cultural study is a comprehensive research relating to every factor that affects, or is affected, by thought; for thought is the product of the conjunction of several environmental and psychological factors that determine the quality of thought. Therefore, the intellectual researcher is also a psychological researcher.
The purpose of this site is to argue, whilst being certain of the righteousness through the scientific and intellectual approach.
We have previously attempted to announce “This is Allah’s Creation” on a website, but bigotry and intolerance have driven the owners of the site to avoid the announcement, for the calling of the righteousness did not sound well to those who follow their desires and were doomed by them, whilst keeping in mind that the mentioned site adapts every thought that strays from the righteousness and whose defects and corruptions are obvious
.

Those who manage and stand by this intolerant thought and reject every different thought even if it was real is like one who is rabid and who is void of all proper manners since they knew what is just and denied it, and thus were ignorant and unjust both to themselves and others.
Allah –Exalted is He- said: “When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam from their loins, their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (Who cherishes and sustains you)?" They said: "Yea! we do testify!" (this), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful. Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile? Thus do We explain the Signs in detail, and perchance they may turn (unto Us). Thus do We explain the Signs in detail, and perchance they may turn (unto Us). Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our Signs, but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray. If it had been Our Will, We should have elevated him with Our Signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our Signs; so relate the story; perchance they may reflect. Evil as an example are people who reject Our Signs and wrong their own souls.” [Surah of the Mountain of A’raf 172-177].
Man’s judgment is often superficial, and it is the means through which those with little strength of mind can defy the facts, but there are serious issues which require careful thought and study from each individual, especially the issues relating to faith. Bearing in mind the purpose of encouraging scientific and intellectual research (and it is Allah who is behind purposes) we are aiming to construct this site and we invite each intellectual and writer to bring forth any intellectual or scientific contribution that would serve to bring out the scientific and epistemological dimension without causing any personal or religious resentments.
Allah said: “No intercession can avail in His Presence, except for those for whom He has granted permission. So far (is this the case) that, when terror is removed from their hearts (at the Day of Judgment, then) will they say, 'What is it that your Lord commanded? They will say: 'That which is true and just; and He is the Most High, Most Great. Say: "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and the earth?" Say: "It is Allah; and certain it is that either we or ye are on right guidance or in manifest error!" Say: "Ye shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what ye do." Say: "Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end decide the matter between us (and you) in righteousness and justice: and He is the One to decide, the One Who knows all” [Surah of Sheba, 23-26].

The Crisis of Human Thought

Human thought is influenced by knowledge and culture, it is nurtured by one of two veins: either the inherited or the modern, the modern is what has been accomplished or achieved due to environmental developments whether these were relating to sciences or otherwise, so innovations and discoveries would result in new knowledge, the more these innovations and discoveries occur the more sciences which were not known are born, and also the more developments and changes to already existing sciences.
The technical advancements and the deployment of means of communication in our present age have changed and created new social, economic, and political patterns in some cultures, and also have developed other cultures.
Some of the new cultures maybe influenced by the circumstantial and personal developments of the intellectuals themselves, often the intellectual’s individual experience affects his thought and imposes upon him new ideas that may contradict or support the intellectual trend of his time.
As for the inherited intellectual concepts, they are what one gains from preceding cultures, or they are the scientific and cultural accumulation of a certain nation throughout the past ages, and the legacy of the forefathers, it is distinguished by the tendency to emulate and closely follow traditions. In most of the human cultures and intellectual trends, the relationship between the inherited and the modern is one of discord and discrepancy, and the exceptions to this rule only occur due to deep changes.
There are well-known and accepted intellectual and scientific issues of course, but the degree of human comprehension of these issues may vary as a result of the presence of new means and equipment, two examples of this are the natural and cosmic sciences. It is worth mentioning that most disagreements occur between sciences and the pre-conceived and distorted forms of faith, this creates an intellectual crisis, for these forms of faith have become distorted since they are ignorant of creation and the Creator and tell falsehoods about the Creator, and they are pre-conceived, contradicting every science and thought.
The issue worsens when these intellectual crisis intertwine with other influences composed of particular aspirations, desires, and circumstances which would disguise falsehood as truth and then believe it. What we mean by particular circumstances is the group and individual commitments which vary according to the individual and the group and which consists of various objective and subjective gains, and to give proof of our previous introduction we give the following example (which is far from being exhaustive).
The introduction of the Old Testament declares: “The central point of the whole of the Holy Bible is the Eternal God who was before the world was made or the planets were created or the universe formed, the Old Testament begins its verses with the following text: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..” and this means that God was most evidently existent and His existence needs no proof. Based on this, the whole of creation is subject to the Lordship of this Pre-Eternal Creator who has crowned the works of His hands when He created man on His image and example, and placed him in the Garden of Eden, and gave him power over all creatures, and thus man enjoyed freedom, safety, prosperity, in addition to an intimate relationship with God”.
The Holy Bible details how creation began in the following manner:

The Beginning of Creation:

1- In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The First Day: Light.
And God said: “Let there be light”, and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
The Second Day: the Firmament.
Then God commanded: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
The Third Day: Dry Land and Vegetation.
And God said: “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear” and it was so, and God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said: “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth”, and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
The Fourth Day: The Moon and the Stars.
And God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth”, and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Fifth Day: Birds and Fish.
And God said: “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven”. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth”. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
The Sixth Day: Animals and Man.
And God said: “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind”, and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. And God said: “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat”, and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
The Seventh Day: The Day of Rest.

2- Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens”.
These details concerning the beginning of the creation of the heavens and the earth are not clear, for what is the earth that was without form and void? And what is the difference between it and dry land? This book was distorted here to cover up previous distortions, so if we mention the order that was mentioned in this book it would be as follows:

  • The first day in which God created light, this is incorrect since day and night are the results of the earth rotating around itself and around the sun.

  • On the second day He created the firmament, what is a firmament? It is what blocks water from water, so the heavens are no firmament, the heavens are gas. And there is no difference between the water carried by the clouds and that which covers the earth, so fresh water originates in the clouds. The ‘blue firmament of the heaven’ which is, according to their belief, the abode of the Creator and the angels had a great effect in causing many thinkers and scientists to reject the Holy Bible and even doubting in the existence of the Creator.
  • The Third Day of the dry land and vegetation until the seventh day when creation was complete the crops grew and so did the herbs. This is an obvious digression to avoid the previous digression. Furthermore, it is incorrect, science has estimated the age of the Solar System to be 4.5 billion years, it also estimated the age of the universe to be approximately 13-15 billion years. All these contradictions cannot be missed by the mindful. Furthermore, the next contradiction has falsehood concerning Allah –Exalted is He, for how can the Creator be Pre-Eternal and rest on the seventh day? This is ignorance in the measure of Allah, for the Pre-Eternal or the Everlasting cannot die, or be removed, or be tired, or beget hunger, He exists prior to existence, and He is greater than creation, and nothing is to His likeness, whilst man was created on his form, not that he was another creature then evolved, for Allah –Exalted is He- has made Adam’s form beautiful and created him as human in the first place, not that He created him as an animal and then he evolved into humanity, so Allah forbid that his form would be like the Creator, Exalted is He above what they describe, Allah said: “It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape - and made your shapes beautiful - and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good; such is Allah your Lord, so Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!” [Surah of the Forgiver, verse 64]. Despite these regular changes and deviations to avoid mistakes, these mistakes would not be concealed from anyone with the least degree of awareness. For in addition to this being a creed, this issue involves particular and general interests and benefits which have a great influence in the subjection and control of thought. It is even worse than this, for many of these factions claimed falsehood and then believed it[1].

Allah has said: “What! have We given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast? Nay! they say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by their footsteps." Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps." He said: "What! even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."” [Surah of Luxury, verses 21-24].
The Wealthy ones are the ones with interests and benefits, who not only gained from the perverse situation but also excelled in exploiting it (and they seek things to be crooked).
These are some of the circumstances which still overshadow thought, in addition to the previously mentioned particular circumstances of each thinker and each group, since the physical and psychological influences form and shape thought. Therefore, all this forms an intellectual crisis that is both apparent and hidden (and what we mean by hidden is that it causes a self-conviction based on the belief that all is a lie or subject to doubt). Justice, which is the most sublime of human virtues, is the purity of judgments and decisions from personal cravings and desires, this trend remains limited within the previously mentioned human environment, and the existence of the individual within the group imposes upon the individual a commitment to the concept of justice within the group, and these formal or constitutional concepts, coupled with general inclinations within the society, can overrun the individual. There are countries that have covered advanced grounds in civil and cultural development which still impose a constitution which rejects the existence of the Eternal Creator. The conspiracy of these factors and their upsurge towards limiting thought does not mean that the scientific methods would necessarily divert proper thought from righteousness and guidance. However, those who follow subjective desires and are limited by ignorance (which is the common case), and still stick to the remnants of corrupt ideas from tattered cultures which stand helpless before scientific challenges (and would only have conjectures within themselves) would insist that they are hesitant in accepting the idea of the God or the Creator.
In order that we would not be hasty in following stereotypical jargons, this issue requires a differentiation so we would recognize the terminology of thought, these are: the idea, then the theory, then the reality, then the relationship of all this with the righteousness.
Praise is to Allah the Lord of the worlds, who has guided humans to the two paths of righteousness and misguidance, there is naught after the righteousness except clear misguidance, Allah has said: “Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).” [Surah of the Prophets, 18].
Thought is a continuous mental activity which relates to intelligent beings, it is the proof of their worthiness and their distinguished situation among the creatures. Continuity means the cultural and scientific accumulation for the realization of better conditions for life and thought. Man, at least in the sensed world, is the most mentally active creature. This is for no vain reason, for intellectual worth has come hand in hand with the subjection of what is in the heaven and in the earth. Allah has said: “Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made His bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!” [Surah of Luqman, 20].
So the heavens and the earth are both subject to man and to the other living creatures. Yet Allah has completed the graces upon man, some of those are manifest such as the sensible and emotional graces which allow man to cognize his environment and to adapt to it. Yet how this adaptation takes place and the response to this environment are among the hidden (although sometime they are manifest) graces, these vary from human to human according to their scientific and intellectual achievements. Faith is based on these achievements and then security and guidance and all these hidden graces. This was not in vain, for creation and well-forming cannot be in vain and without a purpose for this is the conjecture of those who do not know, everything has a reason including creation which has a great purpose, Allah said: “Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?” [Surah of the Faithful, 115].
So if we give the example (and Allah has the most transcendent example) of a certain well-organized system that has been equipped with certain technologies that make it self-sufficient, is it possible that this system’s existence was in vain? Is it possible that this system has created itself by itself? Allah has said: “Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.” [Surah of the Mount, 35-36].
The degree of faultlessness is proof of the Maker or the Creator, the more the exactness and versatility of the system the more its Maker and His Capability are known. The one with most knowledge concerning the purpose of the system is also its Maker or Creator, and all this is postulated assuming the presence of possibilities and basic materials. Since creation occurred from nothingness only the Maker and Creator can set forth its purpose and reason and know every fine detail of it including what was hidden in the hearts. Allah said: “Say: "I do admonish you on one point: that ye do stand up before Allah, - (it may be) in pairs, or (it may be) singly - and reflect (within yourselves): your Companion is not possessed: he is no less than a Warner to you, in face of a terrible Penalty." Say: "No reward do I ask of you: it is (all) in your interest: my reward is only due from Allah: and He is Witness to all things."” [Surah of Sheba, 46-47]. Allah commands His Prophet (Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him) to admonish the people on one idea with an eloquence and challenge and a style before which others would stand powerless, to take a proper course of thinking both as individuals and as groups so they would consider Allah’s creation and His Power, and that what the Prophet - Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him- preached is neither nonsense nor madness, but, rather, it was facilitated in his tongue so he would warn of a severe penalty. Allah has guided man to he paths of righteousness and graciousness, and commanded him to be just since piety and obedience to the commands of Allah can only take place as a result of it. Injustice, in the intellectual sense of the word, is really injustice to one’s self, so man would harm himself and do himself real injustice if he would ignore reality, in this case he is even more unjust than one who would forget or be ignorant of the righteousness, and as for the Prophet, the Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him, his reward is Allah’s affair, and Allah is a witness of all things.
As for the idea it is a result, or rather, it is a partial unit of thought. It relates to a specific issue whether it was a concept, a notion, or a pattern, or rather it is an intellectual assumption that can be either correct or incorrect and that is subject to change according to the individual and to the surroundings. A thought pattern would be the definition of certain means to accomplish a certain task that would achieve a pre-defined goal; this may include a mobile action. So generally it is a social pattern of behavior that would accomplish a certain purpose whether it was economic, political, or even moral and cultural. So it is a partial unit of thought which relates to an aspect of human thought.
Each pattern of behavior has a motive; these motives can be classified as follows:
a- The materialistic motive: This stimulant has a great influence on human thought since each individual aims to attain his consumptive needs within a certain style. Materialistic desires exist in all living beings yet they are more apparent in humans since they are related to thought. When these lose this relation they lose all relation to the human conscience and morals and thus become a pure bestial desire that would find justification for every mean by relation to its end and would be subject to injustice, corruption, and bloodshed.
b- The Idealistic motive: This has a deep psychological root but it has a secondary influence on human thought since it relates to ideal desires. Yet the human conscience and morality both have a great effect on building this moral motive.
The greatest factor which combines these motives within a more sublime goal is faith since it combines them in the belief in Allah and the pleasure of Allah. If the faith was vague or has a false base that contradicts all thought and science, the intellectual crisis would occur. However, if the faith was clear and bearing within itself the greatness of the Creator, then it would maintain the intellectual factor, as Allah has argued with the angels: “Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praise and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell Me the names of these if ye are right." They said: "Glory to Thee: of knowledge we have none, save what Thou hast taught us: in truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom." He said: "O Adam! Tell them their names." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heavens and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"”. [Surah of the Cow, 30-33].
The ability to learn and recognize good and evil is particular to thought, he who cancels it has no real benefit from his mind.
The idea is a mental conception of a certain thing before its sensible occurrence, so each human conception or conjecture reflects a certain estimate of its subject before its physical manifestation. When this manifestation is determined then conjecture is replaced with certainty. The idea, as a concept, is the inclusive understanding of a certain system or action and the attempt to explain it, each explanation or analysis concerned with understanding why things take place is a philosophical study. On the other hand, each explanation concerning how things take place is a scientific study.
These categories of ideas vary on an individual level according to various environments. Moreover, there are differences between one individual and another according to the educational, cultural, or idealistic level of each individual. Also, the materialistic level or the standard of living has a great influence both on individual and group levels.
When we mention determining the meaning of the above mentioned statement (the idea of the God or the Creator), it suggests a mental conception that would place the Creator’s or the Allah’s existence in the domain of possibility.
Following the intellectual activity that is related to an idea, this would be classified as a lower level than the intellectual theory and more common in practice.
The Intellectual Theory: It is the station of longer meditation and perception and the organization of a chain of thoughts and applications that can be employed in a well-planned process and that is intellectually predictable.
The Scientific Theory: This is closer to reality, for the righteousness in a theory is proportional to the achievement of the necessary results. Based on this, the convinced adherents of creeds and dogmas (although this conviction can be the result of selfish interests) can well try to induce others to follow this creed for idealistic and emotional or even materialistic reasons without paying heed to the intellectual and scientific soundness of this creed. So a faith or creed, if it was not in Allah –Praise is His, is based on a thought swayed by individualistic desires and motives. So even if these were based on a sound source that calls to the righteousness, yet ultimately they were perverted so they would call to what is other than Him. Allah has said: “If the righteousness had been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay, We have sent them their admonition, but they turn away from their admonition” [Surah of the Believers, 71].
So the sciences of the heavens and the earth (Creation) are self-evident realities that are contradictory to the perversions and faults which are included in these creeds and whose adherents resort to emotional and materialistic aspects while maintaining a distance from facts that would scrutinize their beliefs and thus they would follow their interests and these interests have seduced their souls. All this is injustice to one’s self and to others, for justice is the admission of righteousness even if it was against one’s individual desire. Failure and defeat is the only return gained by the ones that have made falsehood their institution, for Allah has placed naught but evident proofs within His Remembrance after the creation of the heavens and earth, yet they would do nothing except reject the truth.

The righteousness: whose occurrence and appearance take place in space and time and which is proven in theory or through experimentation is a perceived, determined fact if it was grasped through the naked eye or through optical devices and it is a lab-proven fact if it is proven through labs or other means of experimentations. It is through the determination of time and space that the truth is known. For this reason, the relation of any truth with the sensible, cosmic field is the field that is known in time and space.
Historical facts are known by consequences and knowledge, so if these do not exist within a framework of space and time then fact would intertwine with myth. It is on these myths that the adherents of perverse creeds and beliefs mostly focus.
Every righteousness must be determined in space and time within the cosmos so it would be known. Gravity, which is a scientific fact, is determined within all sides of the universe (the world heaven). So whether it was on the surface of the earth or between the celestial bodies, this fact is connected in time with the universe, or with the beginning of the motion of solid materials and the expansion of the universe. Gravity plays a major role in the preservation of the structural unity of the expanding universe (the expansion of the heaven). So the amount of the force of gravity on the surface of the earth is the force of attraction of a free falling object towards the earth[2].

Allah, Praise is His, said: “Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure” [Surah of the Moon, 49].
This gravity allows the various living creatures to move and settle on the surface of the earth. If this force was too strong it would not allow the living creatures to move on the surface of the earth, if it was too weak it would not allow them to settle on the surface of the earth. Likewise, earth gravity holds the atmosphere surrounding the earth and which is composed of different gases that are essential for life on the surface of earth. Also the force of gravity does not hinder the clouds from roaming and that is a major factor in the water balance and plays a major role in the sources of pure water.
The atmosphere surrounding the earth plays a major role in the protection of the living creatures on earth from dangerous radiations (X-Rays and ultraviolet radiations); also it prevents the dangerous cosmic objects and particles moving towards the earth .
As for force of gravity on the surface of the moon, it is lower than its counterpart on earth, and it also varies among the celestial bodies, whether planets or stars, according to composition, size, and the distance separating them.
As for the force of gravity between galaxies, it is relatively insignificant since the heavens are expanding. The world heaven (the Universe) expands, which increases the distances separating the galaxies, but this expansion takes a cervical shape due to gravity between solid materials (galaxies). One of the most important visible facts is the sun which compliments the previous realities, for it is like any other star in the heavens. All these facts are necessary to achieve the equation of the subjection of what is in the heavens and the earth to man.
Allah, Praise is his said: “Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!” [Surah of Luqman, 20].
The universe (The world heaven), and all what it contains is contingent, even time and space which are strongly connected to the existence of the universe are contingent realities. So the Causer of the existence of the universe or, in other words, its Creator must precede the existence of the universe, and must be outside the ranges of time and space which are connected with the existence of the universe. Thus the Essence of the Creator is Pre-Eternal and unlike the temporal essence of the universe. The Pre-Eternal is Allah (The Unique) and all the rest are created or extinguished.
Allah, Praise is his said: “Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face” [Surah of the Stories, 88]. The Pre-Eternal is not created, is not extinguished, does not die, does not beget weariness, is immutable, and He is the righteousness. The gathering of the name and quality in righteousness can only be an attribute of Allah –Praise is His. He is Existent before existence, and creation and existence can only be through Him, for the creature must have a Creator (that has created it from nothingness) since the creature can neither create himself nor can nothingness create.
Allah -Praise is His- said: “Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.” [Surah of the Mount, 35-36].
Allah is the One, the Pre-Eternal, the All-Powerful, the righteousness who has no peer in His power. The Creator has given each creature a power and a command. Science has known the settlement of the universe by two opposite forces since the expansion of the heaven limits the forces of attraction among solid materials. If one force is to cancel the other then the world heaven (the universe) would not hold together and the structural unity would collapse. So if the force of expansion among solid materials is weakened we would have an open universe. On the other hand, if the force of expansion is weakened the universe would contract ad diminish. The emergence of any of the two forces as the one prevailing would destroy the relationship of balance amongst them and thus turn the universe into dust.
Allah, Praise is his said: “No just estimate have they made of Allah. for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will.” [Surah of the Pilgrimage, 74].
So any power perceived or conceived by man’s imagination is temporal or non-eternal, Allah –Praise is His- is the All-Powerful Pre-Eternal, so no creature can endure the Power and Greatness of the Pre-Eternal Creator.
The sun shines as the result of nuclear reactions in its center, when its fuel runs out, it will be transformed to another state or it may explode leaving the remains of a dying star behind. The sun is a medium-sized star (the size of some stars may reach a hundred times that of the sun, and there are two billion stars within the Milky Way galaxy alone).
The sun is 8 light minutes away from earth (93 million Kilometers). Roughly, half of the sun’s radiation reaches the earth after being filtered by the atmosphere, so harmful radiation is stopped. The atmosphere also helps diffuse the sun rays in the part of the earth that faces the sun. Despite all of this, gazing at the sun directly would still cause damage to the eye. The sun and the rest of the stars only enlighten a part of the world heaven or the universe (despite the fact that some stars illuminate a 100,000 times more than the sun), the world heaven or the universe and the earth that’s subject to it is the smallest and closest of the seven heavens, each of these heavens has an earth that is subject to it. All this illumination is subject to the limitations of time and space and Allah –Praise is His- is the Pre-Eternal Light of the heavens and the earth, His veil is light, should He unveil it the Glories of His Face would burn every creature engulfed within His sight.
The earth and all of creation (the seven heavens) are equally within the Creator’s grasp. Rather, all of the heavens are grasped within His grip, He has said –Praise is His: “No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him!” [Surah of the Throngs, 67].
Man’s knowledge is limited despite the accumulation of knowledge and science, for his knowledge shall always be limited to a part of the universe or the world heaven, man’s aptitude for knowledge itself is limited and for this reason he is forced to renew his knowledge from time to time, Allah –Praise is His- said: “Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the righteousness. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?” [Surah of the (signs) Spelled Out, 53].
Man will be capable of breaking through to the horizons to discover them, he would also recognize the composition of his body and then he would realize that all this was not in vain, but, rather, it is Allah’s Capability and His Ingenuity in His creation. All that man was capable of knowing and all what he will know is but a particle of Allah’s creation, and only Allah has full knowledge of His creation, He –Praise is His- said: “In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record.” [Surah of Jonah, 61].
Allah knows and we know of His knowledge only what He wanted us to know so He would clarify the marvels of His creation. Naught escapes the knowledge of your Lord, even if it was the size of an atom or bigger than that or smaller and whether it was in the heavens or the earth or within themselves, all is known by Allah. This is certain and clear, for Allah is the Creator from nothingness, Allah –Praise is His- said: “And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts. Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).” [Surah of the Sovereignty, 13-14].
Allah knows best concerning creation and through which way does He distinguish truth from falsehood to them and by which means He would call them to righteousness, for He is kind to His servants and Well-Knowing about what is best for them, He has said: “If ye reject ((Allah)), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts” [Surah of the Throngs, 7].
Whether people believe or not, that would not reap any benefit to Allah, yet He is not content with disbelief from His servants. For disbelief occurs through man’s choice and Allah is not content with it from people out of mercy to them, and if you are thankful He is content with that from you. Each human is a captive of what he has done and intended, and you will not be reckoned with for what the unjust have done. Allah has sent messengers and empowered them with the righteousness so people would have no excuse with Allah after He has sent the Messengers. Allah –Praise is His- said: “Then sent We our apostles in succession: every time there came to a people their apostle, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!” [Surah of the Believers, 44].
Allah willed to seal the time of the Messengers with Muhammad –Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him, and has descended upon him a message for creation which founded the path of guidance, Allah has guaranteed to preserve this message when He said: “We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).” [Surah of the Stoneland, 9].
The Gracious Quran is a Book of knowledge, thought, and exclusively the path of guidance and piety, the preservation of a Book with this great conception is not within the power of creatures whoever they are. This is for the following reasons:
(1) Allah Said: “Say thou: "This is my way: I do invite unto Allah,- on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes,- I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah. and never will I join gods with Allah." Nor did We send before thee (as apostles) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand? (Respite will be granted) until, when the apostles give up hope (of their people) and (come to) think that they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our help, and those whom We will are delivered into safety. But never will be warded off our punishment from those who are in sin. There is, in their stories, instruction for men endued with understanding. It is not a tale invented, but a confirmation of what went before it,- a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide and a mercy to any such as believe.” [Surah of Joseph, 108-111].
The Quran has set the proofs for creation after the time of the Messengers stopped; It is the Speech of Allah which is not befallen in falsehood in any of the stories It tells of the past nations, It is the calling of our Master Muhammad –Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him- and the calling of all the Messengers, and the calling of anyone who has followed the righteousness, “Say thou: "This is my way: I do invite unto Allah,- on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes,- I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah. and never will I join gods with Allah."” [Surah of Yusuf, 108].
The style of the Quran is not a style that is created, for the Speaker is Allah who speaks to creation directly in this Book, Allah –Praise is His- said: “Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support. And We have explained to man, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude: yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude!”[Surah of The Night Journey, 88-89].

This style has endowed the Quran with immunity in the word and even in the letter, and maintained Its intellectual and scientific content, for It is the speech of Allah the Most High, the Most Capable. So His command to the Messenger – Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon him- and those who follow him, in relation to the manner in which one must speak to people, was given with the imperative form when He said: “Say thou”, “speak fair to the people” [Surah of the Cow, 83]. And when Allah wishes to expose the infidels He would attribute speech to them: “The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"”[Surah of the (signs) Spelled Out, 26].
This style has a great influence in speaking to creation, for when the believer would listen and heed the speech of Allah, he would realize that he is the object of this speech, and that the calling is directed unto him. And each of those who doubted and disbelieved would realize that he is exposed in this Divine Remembrance, for this is the Book, no doubt in It, a guidance to the pious, and so It would be a proof and a warning against those who do not believe. Allah –Praise is His- said: “A Revelation from ((Allah)), Most Gracious, Most Merciful;- A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Qur'an in Arabic, for people who understand;- Giving good news and admonition: yet most of them turn away, and so they hear not. They say: "Our hearts are under veils, (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we will!)"” [Surah of the (signs) Spelled Out, 2-5].
(2) Allah – Praise is His- said: “We have already sent down to you verses making things clear, an illustration from (the story of) people who passed away before you, and an admonition for those who fear ((Allah)).” [Surah of the Light, 34].

The Gracious Quran consists of clear proofs for thought, and an example of those who have been before us, and a preaching for those who believed in Allah and in Judgment Day. As for the ones who denied these signs and falsified the Truth and denied Allah’s ways in His creation shown by the Messengers and denied His capability in creation and the resurrection of creatures, there is little hope from this lot and Allah is the Needless, the Praise-worthy. Allah –Praise is His- said: “Of no profit to you will be your relatives and your children on the Day of Judgment: He will judge between you: for Allah sees well all that ye do. There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal. "Our Lord! Make us not a (test and) trial for the Unbelievers, but forgive us, our Lord! for Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise." There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to follow,- for those whose hope is in Allah and in the Last Day. But if any turn away, truly Allah is Free of all Wants, Worthy of all Praise.” [Surah of She That Is To Be Examined, 3-6].
Allah said: “Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.” [Surah of the Clans, 21].
The desire to follow the Messengers and to hold their example is neither a selfish motive, nor is it a legacy of the forefathers, but rather a desire within mankind –ultimately, for their own sake- to reach Allah’s pleasure and to redeem themselves in the Day of Judgment when people are reckoned with for their actions in the world of tests and trials. Allah has called upon people to follow the Messengers if they wanted the pleasure of Allah and redemption on Judgment Day. This connection which Allah made between His Pleasure and the reward of Judgment Day is for the purpose of informing and reminding people that creation was not made in vain, so there must be a Judgment Day, it was also made to confirm His Capability.
But how well do people believe in the Judgment Day? People are still in skeptical doubts, they have said: “What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?” [Surah of the Believers, 82]. Indeed He has promised the former nations of mankind and their latter ones and it is the righteousness if you only but knew, Allah said: “Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the righteousness. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?” [Surah of the (signs) Spelled Out, 53].
The Greek materialistic belief has swayed over the human mind for a long time, and it still does for the ones who are ignorant. The content of this belief is that the world or the universe is pre-eternal; if it was as they claim then the universe and every reality that relates to it would be constant and immutable, and when it is pre-eternal then it has neither beginning nor end. It is difficult for those who maintain this view to realize that there is a Judgment Day, this is also related to the common disregard of causality. All this is connected to what we mentioned earlier about the belief that creation was not made for a purpose, and it deepens the difficulty of believing in Judgment Day. Yet, the advancement of sciences and the realization of how creation was made both in the horizons and in the human souls were solid proofs of the Creator’s Capability, Allah has spoken to creation in the Gracious Quran and said: “Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation? It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.” [Surah of Qaf, 15-16]. So all creation is known to Allah, even what a man’s self would say to him, for this particularity and individual property within each creature was accomplished with Allah’s command, and He made His acts in His creation most perfect fully knowing them and how they will be used. Allah did not grow weary from the first creation. If He rested on the seventh day as they claimed, then there would have been no creation and the continuity and the mannerism in each creature would not have been, nor would have been the creativity in the creation process itself which has given each creature a beginning and an end and which is Allah’s way in His creation. The first creation was from nothingness, and thus was time and space. Whilst all this is contingent, the Creator is Necessarily Existent and Pre-Eternal, the Pre-Eternal neither begets weariness nor does He rest.
So the Creator did not grow weary by the first creation and re-creation is no difficult affair for Him. Otherwise, there would have been no continuity and mannerism in creation (The heavens and the earth) and their subjection to man. Allah has made the heavens and the earth and what is in them subject to man, and if it was not like this then the first creation would have passed and man would not have lived. For there is no reason for the continuous growth of the universe (the expansion of the world heaven) except Allah’s command and there are no reasons for the Milky Way galaxy and the sun and the moon or even the earth to continue within their definite manner and balanced system without any of the opposite forces that govern it overwhelming the other except Allah’s command. So all are created within a definite measure, for what would, to give an example, prevent the Milky Way galaxy or the sun or the moon or the earth from the accidents that have obliterated many other galaxies and stars and planets? Indeed it is Allah’s command[3].
Allah –Praise is His- said: “It is Allah Who sustains the heavens and the earth, lest they cease (to function): and if they should fail, there is none - not one - can sustain them thereafter: Verily He is Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.” [Surah of Originator, 41]. Praiseworthy and Most Elevated is He how great is His leniency and how grand is His Affair! All this is of Allah’s creation and there is much more. All is according to an inevitable measure, and Allah has affairs within His creation.
It is also through Allah’s command that creation would return to nothingness, “The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it.” [Surah of the Prophets, 104].

And so that would be understood, one must know the meaning of creation from nothingness, and when the space of heaven and earth are made different, Allah would return creation so they would know that His promise is the verity.
Allah has said: “One day the earth will be changed to a different earth, and so will be the heavens, and (men) will be marshalled forth, before Allah, the One, the Irresistible; And thou wilt see the sinners that day bound together in fetters;- Their garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with Fire; That Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts; and verily Allah is swift in calling to account. Here is a Message for mankind: Let them take warning therefrom, and let them know that He is (no other than) One Allah. let men of understanding take heed.” [Surah of Abraham, 48-52].
The Gracious Quran is no false attribution to the Creator, but a Book of thought and a calling to people, it is not within the capability of anyone except He who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth to bring forth such a Book, Allah –Praise is His- said: “This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah. on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds. Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the righteousness!" Nay, they charge with falsehood that whose knowledge they cannot compass, even before the elucidation thereof hath reached them: thus did those before them make charges of falsehood: but see what was the end of those who did wrong! Of them there are some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief. If they charge thee with falsehood, say: "My work to me, and yours to you! ye are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what ye do!" Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding? And among them are some who look at thee: but canst thou guide the blind,- even though they will not see? Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul. One day He will gather them together: (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour of a day: they will recognise each other: assuredly those will be lost who denied the meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance.” [Surah of Jonah, 37-45].
The example provided by the previous verses of the Gracious Quran is a clear example concerning the motives that would attempt to divert and mutate the thought and beliefs present within the Holy Books according to people’s selfish likings, the result would be lame and perverse ideas that would counter scientific thought and culture. Allah –Praise is His- said: “Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?". Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do."” [Surah of the House of 'Imran, 98-99].
The intellectual, scientific and even literal preservation of the Quran which was done to the letter since the time of the Prophet –Prayers of Allah and His Peace upon Him- is a miraculous feat that is not within the capability of the creature. This happened despite the differences and the diversions the Islamic peoples went through, for they have forgotten Allah and thus He made them forget themselves, Allah said: “O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what (provision) He has sent forth for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah. for Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. And be ye not like those who forgot Allah. And He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!”[Surah of the Exile, 18-19].
Allah calls to faith and piety, with an emphasis on piety so every soul would know what it presented to Judgment Day, Allah is Most Knowledgeable about them and knows what would happen within themselves should they leave faith.
(3) Allah –Praise is His- said: “And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful. Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds: With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth- To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish. In the perspicuous Arabic tongue. Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples. Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)? Had We revealed it to any of the non-Arabs, and had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it. Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners. They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty; But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not; Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?" Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?” [Surah of the Poets, 191- 204]. The Gracious Quran is Allah’s Book and no falsehood approaches It from behind It, meaning in all what is mentioned in It from past histories, or the stories of the previous ones It told, the science and thought It contains can only be in concord with modern day science. Furthermore, all the sciences of creation to come in the future cannot contradict the speech of the Gracious Quran. The accumulation of knowledge and the spreading of sciences have given new and unprecedented momentum and dimensions to human thought and comprehension, but for all the true intellectual and scientific parameters to be provided in the context of a Book that was descended 1400 years ago is impossible, there is no book that fits these criteria except the Gracious Quran. In the verses, words, and letters of this Book is the measure of knowledge of the creatures and the Qualities of the Creator. No one would understand these except those with knowledge, and It is in the preceding books. Allah speaks to the Israelite scholars by saying that this Book is a sign for you so what will you do with it? He –Praise is His- said: “And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts. Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).” [Surah of the Sovereignty, 14].
Allah has given man the mind and subjected what is in the heavens and the earth to him, and because of this man was able to learn and to make efforts to benefit by exploiting his environment and to distinguish between righteousness and falsehood so Allah would see how they would act. So he who falls into confusion about this matter has made no benefit from his mind and knowledge. Allah said: “Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners. They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty” [Surah of the Poets, 200-201].

(4) Allah –Praise is His- said: “And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).” [Surah of the Criterion, 33].
The Gracious Quran is the intellectual content (Knowledge and guidance) to counter any one who is too arrogant to believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment. No one may tell lies concerning Allah while His Remembrance (The Quran) still exists, and this is the gateway for efforts and opinions.
Most people are still governed by their immediate interests and benefits and do not believe in Allah and Judgment Day. Not only would they reject the righteousness in defense of these interests and desires, but they would throw accusations on any thought or knowledge that would call for Truth, this is what took place with the Messengers –Prayer of Allah upon them, Allah has informed about this when He said: “Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves; and ye shall certainly Hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against evil,-then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.” [Surah of The House Of 'Imran, 186].
O Allah! Strengthen our affair with the Word of Piety, and with patience our piety, Allah is enough for us, and there is naught better to rely upon other than Allah. Allah has given all possible examples within this Quran. Among those whom Allah sent with verity He spoke to Moses and Aaron –Peace upon them- so they would go to Pharaoh and call upon him with wisdom and good preaching so, perhaps, he would recall and fear Allah, and Allah is with them, seeing and hearing, Allah said: “"Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds; "But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear ((Allah))."” [Surah of Taha, 43-44]. Yet Pharaoh was an example of all who would become arrogant and unjust and then would defy guidance, so he said: I am your most high lord, and ordered all knowledgeable magicians to come forth, then he said: “"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand." They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?" He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods-so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion! So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear. We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand: "Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes."” [Surah of Taha, 64-69].
Such was the order of Allah to Moses and Aaron –Peace upon them, and by Allah's command they were able to defeat he who has grown arrogant on earth without justice, and by the righteousness they have won, and this is the example of those who submitted to Allah and were guided among the Israelites. Allah said: “And We have distributed it amongst them, in order that they may celebrate (our) praises, but most men are averse (to aught) but (rank) ingratitude.” [Surah of the Criterion, 50].
By Allah's will the Quran shall always be the path to guidance and piety, for Allah has sealed the time of the Messengers by It, and if Allah wills it He would've sent in each town one to warn it, but there is little hope in people who would not believe, and there is no obedience to a creature when it involves the disobedience of the Creator, the example of our precedents has passed, and it is the duty of those who believe in Allah and believe in the guidance and in what was descended on Muhammad and the Messengers before him –Prayers of Allah upon all of them- to make efforts and provide sound opinions in knowledge and thought through following the example of Allah's Book, each according to his knowledge and ability, for the purpose of developing mankind and for the sake of piety and to follow the commandment and urging of Allah.
Allah –Praise is His- said: “So hold thou fast to the Revelation sent down to thee; verily thou art on a Straight Way. The (Qur'an) is indeed the message, for thee and for thy people; and soon shall ye (all) be brought to account.” [Surah of Luxury 43-44].

The actions of Pharaoh still take place (and the misdeeds of Pharaoh were made to look pleasant to him so he was blocked from the Path) and so do the actions of those who follow him (so his people took things lightly and obeyed him, for they were corrupt people). They will not overcome the Will of Allah for Allah is overwhelming over His command, so our testimony is delivering the message and Allah is sees all the affairs of His servants. He –Praise is His, said: “If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise. Mocked were (many) apostles before thee: but I granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally I punished them: Then how (terrible) was my requital! Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide. For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder, truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter: and defender have they none against Allah” [Surah of the Thunder, 31-34].
“"Soon will ye remember what I say to you (now), My (own) affair I commit to Allah. for Allah (ever) watches over His Servants."” [Surah of the Forgiver, 44].
“And He is Allah. There is no god but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) be brought back.” [Surah of the Stories, 70].
