Mr. Know-it-all says where is Allah? He is on the throne of control as in 57: 4; Allah is closerto man than his life vein as in 50: 16. Allah is on Water 11: 7, in heavens as he decides allaffairs from heavens as in 32:5. Is the throne of Allah at your jugular vein? Allah is

"everywhere" in the sense that there is no place that is without his presence. What about thethrone?

In a summary, ourMr. Know-it-all is saying the following [this Mr. Know-it-all is a differentone than the previous Mr. Know-it-all]:

1) 57: 4 and 50: 16 are mutually contradictory. One says that Allah is closer to humans thantheir life veins and the other says that He is firmly established on His throne;

2) The meaning of the throne generally taken by the translators, including myself, cannot betaken in verse 11: 7; and

3) If Allah is closer to His creation than their life veins then why do the angels have to travelto Him in periods extending over one thousand to fifty thousand years.

This has really done his best to say there is a contradiction, error or addition in Quran. Butthe core problem is common in almost all the Pauline attackers these days, they do notunderstand Arabic and neither do they want to read Arabic, some of them, ourMr. Know-it-all in this case does not wants to read the English translations he mentions himself, nor hewants to understand the translations and the commentaries to help his corrupted mindset.

I usually tell them, dont try to translate Quran yourself, since you do not know the Arabic

language, and the Arabic traditions. Look at his point 2, I have highlighted that, includingmyself, folks dont understand that Arabic is not the language as English, it is different thanEnglish it is Arabic!

Let us take the quotes of Quran mentioned by ourMr. Know-it-all one by one to explain himthe truth, the way the God-protected-word-of-God, the Quran, is to be read and understood.

Al Quran Surah Al-Hud, 011.007: He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in sixDays - and His dominion was over thewaters1502- that He might try you, which of you is bestin conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", theUnbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery!"Sadakhallah Al

Azeem.

}7{

Can Gods dominion be not over the waters he created ? Assuredly yes, Gods dominion isupon all that exists in the heavens and the universe, truly O Allah, Sadakhallah Al Azeem.

To explain the topic to the people, Shk Yousuf Ali gives a brief concept in his commentary onthe verses 011:007, about foot note explanation 1502, on Page 515 of his commentary,

dated 1934, Appendix for xxi30. Shk Yousuf Ali clarifies as follows [I have only typed it outforMr. Know-it-all to read and understand]:

1502: It is scientifically correct to say that all life was created out of water, thisstatement also occurs in Quran in xxi: 30. The throne of Gods authority ismetamorphically expressed as over the waters. i.e., as regulating all life. Some muchmystical meaning here I think also attaches to Gen i.2. The past tense was refers to thetime before life development in solid forms, on land and in air.

Let us now see what xxi: 30 have to offer us in the context of creation from waters.

021.030: Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (asone unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We madefrom waterevery livingthing. Will they not then believe?

{30}

Let us read the translators note 2691 reads as:

2691: About 72%, of the surface of our globe is still covered with water, and it has beenestimated that if the inequalities on the surface were all leveled, the whole surface would

be under w ater, as the mean elevation of land sphere level would be 7000-10000 feetbelow the surface of the ocean. This shows the predominance of water on our globe.That all life began in the water. Is also a conclusion to which our latest knowledge in

biological science points. Apart from the fact that protoplasm, the original basis ofliving matter, is liquid or semi liquid and in a state of constant flux and instability, thereis the fact that land animals, like the higher vertebrates, including man, show, in their

embryological history, organs like those of fishes, indicating the watery origin of theiroriginal habitat. The constitution of protoplasm is about 80 to 85 percent of water.

Now let us look at the next verses, ourMr. Know-it-all says, contradicts each others:

057.004 YUSUFALI: He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and ismoreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within theearth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up toit. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do.

050.017-18: Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted

them), one sitting on the right and one on the left. Not a word does he utter but there is asentinel by him, ready (to note it).

Finally, Mr. Know-it-all says that if God is closer to His creation than their life veins then whythe angels have to travel to Him in periods extending over one thousand to fifty thousandyears.

My point of view regarding the above should be quite clear from the explanation given above.But to clarify even further, I would like to reiterate that "closer than life vein" refers to theomniscience of God. Whereas the other verses (mentioning that the angels spend thousandsof years to reach Allah) refer to His magnificence and grandeur (70:4) and to the fact that

God's operational time scale is far wider and far greater for us-humans-to fully comprehendand understand due to our inherent limitations (32:5).

Obviously, God being omniscient does not automatically imply that God has lost Hisgrandeur. The two verses are referring to two separate phenomena. Just as if I say at oneplace that "I am aware of every move that you make" and at another place that "you cannot

reach me easily", the two sayings cannot be termed as mutually contradictory. One refers tothe perfection of my knowledge and the other to the other person's imperfections and mygrandeur and magnificence. In the same way, at one place the Qur'an says that "God knowseverything that man does and thinks, He is closer to man than his life vein" and at another itsays that "How can you assess the grandeur of God, He is far above what you can imagine.Even the closest of His angels take thousands of years to reach Him". The two statementsrefer to two separate phenomena and thus are not comparable. Therefore, there is noquestion of contradiction in the two statements.

Let us look at a verse from the Bible:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless andempty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering overthe waters. (1:1-2)

Does that means, God hovered like a helicopter, over the waters? No..! it really means thatGod has the dominion even over the waters! Tell me God does not have the dominion overthe waterscan you?

O my Learned Christian readers and Mr. Know-it-all, do you really want to turn your faceaway from the truth? Would you take man-made lies instead of truth of Islam in your lives?do you have any sense of reason? Do they have any thinking-heads? Does God stop youfrom thinking reasonably? Or would you like to regret in the hereafter.

They will say, "If only we had really listened and used our intellect, we would not have beenCompanions of the Blaze." (Noble Quran, Surat al-Mulk: 10) or would the followers of St.Paul like to regret!

O Mr. Know-it-all!Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah [],which cannot be turned back. On that Day you will have no hiding-place and no means ofdenial. (Noble Quran, Surat ash-Shura: 47)

I invite you, O my Christian readers, to use your intellect and be a true believer, a truthful

submitter to your God Allah ]. May Allah] [] bestow upon you his mercyand help you understand the fallacies of the Christian Pauline religion of Saul ofTarus...Ameen, ya Rabbiziljalaal.

Allah [] makes it very evident for you "W e shall show them Our signs on thehorizons and within themselves until it will become clear to them that it is the Truth. Does itnot suffice that your Lord is Witness over all things?" The noble Qur'an, Fussilat (41):53.

"Verily! this Qur'an guides to that which is most upright, and gives glad tidings to thebelievers who work deeds of righteousness that theirs will be a great reward" The noble

Qur'an, Al-Isra (17):9Sadakhallah alazeem.
