Wisdom of sending a Prophet from among the men.
Difference between a Prophet and a sorcerer.
Ponder on the creation of the universe.
Substantiation for worshiping Allah alone
Allah is the Sole-Provider – show gratitude by worshipping Him
Allah is only Supreme Being – show servitude
Allah is sole Sovereign - show obedience
6. Substantiation of After Life
Life in this world proves that After life is also possible
After Life is necessary for justice. Reward for good deeds
and punishment for bad
Allah is All-Wise and will provide justice to all his creation
Disbelief leads to materialism, utilitarianism, and injustice
Belief in Hereafter leads to morality
7. Ruku No 2
Sunnah of Allah – retribution or reprieve?
Quran is the word of Allah
the honesty, integrity and high character of Prophet (saw)
before his Prophet hood was apparent to his people.
Demands to make changes to religion is present even today
(Progressive Islam)
Deities other than Allah can neither harm nor benefit you
Demands for a clear sign/ miracle – Most obvious miracle is the
Quran itself!
8. Ruku No 3
Humans are always impatient, always hastening.
Call to Allah during times of distress.
Ascribe partners with Allah during times of comfort.
Story of Ikramah bin Abi Jahl – calling to Allah during
times of distress.
Even the staunchest polytheists forget their false gods
and cry out to the One True God, and even the most rabid
atheists stretch out their hands in prayer to Him.
9. Example of this worldly life – that of the flourishing crop.
Allah invites you to the Home of Peace (Dar-us-Salam)

worshippers.

necessities.
Allah is the Rabb – the Sole-Provider – of basic
necessities as well as Provider of knowledge and guidance.
Challenge of the Quran – it was repeated thrice in
Makkah and then finally in Madinah. (Surah Yunus: 38,
Hud: 13, Bani Isra'il: 88, Al-Baqarah: 23).

Their rejection is not based on any sound reason but on
prejudice and selfishness.
They shall be losers in Hereafter.

the seeing and blind cannot be the same.

Once the message is delivered there is no excuse for
ignorance.

profit and loss
15. Ruku No 6
Nothing can be used as a “payoff” for sins on the Day
of Resurrection.
Only sincere repentance can wipe away sins.
Allah keeps accepting repentance till a person is
seized by agony of death.
The four attributes of Quran;
Warning/Counsel; wa’z - remind of that which should
soften the heart, which leads to repentance and
reformation.
16. Cure; shifa’ – cure for every disease, spiritual or physical.
Guidance; huda – direct towards a path, (also used as gift).

23. Miracle of the Quran - Preservation of
Pharaoh's body
Dr. Maurice Bucaille was selected to treat the
mummy of Memeptah (who was later proved to be
the Exodus Pharaoh) which he did. During his visit to
Saudi Arabia he was shown the verses of the Holy
Quran in which Allah says that the dead body of the
Exodus Pharaoh will be preserved as a "SIGN" for
posterity. He was surprised to learn that unknown to
the world till only of late, the Holy Quran made
definite prediction about the preservation of the body
of that same Pharaoh of Moses time.
(www.angelfire.com/az/miracles/Archaeology.html)
24. Ask the people of knowledge if you know not – (Surah Nahl:63)
Are the knowledgeable and the ignorant equal? In fact, none
will take heed except the people of understanding (Surah
Zumur:9)
Dua – O My Lord, Increase me in knowledge (Surah Taha:114)
Ignorance leads to doubt, eventually rejection of truth.
Israelites rejected truth after receiving the message – this is the
worst kind of rejection.
Ruku No 10
25. Repentance will not be accepted once the
punishment is ordained by Allah
Only exception are the people of Yunus (AS).
Freedom granted by Allah in this life – believe or
disbelieve – this is the actual test.

Allah makes the person “filthy” who chooses to
deny the signs of Allah.

only, without turning it even slightly to right or left, or
backward, and go on marching in the same direction”.
Do not associate others with Allah.
Do not invoke help from other than Allah.

28. Let's evaluate our selves
Am I sure? Yes No mostly to some
extent
Allah don’t rush in punishment
I don’t even have control over my own benefits and loss
I believe that all matters turn to Allah.
Calling someone other than Allah is illusion and speculation.
Honor is only in the Hands of Allah.
Allah makes the person filthy who chooses to deny the signs
of Allah.
Differences will be decided at the day of Judgement.
If Allah put someone in harm, no one can escape it and if He
intend to do good, no one can redirect His bounty.
