The initial and terminal parts of some Quran sooras

[Torch light]

I find the initial parts of some Quran sooras wonderful and the terminal ayat of other sooras marvelous, although all the Quran is great.

Like Soora 38, which means:

[When the Prophet came to the tribe of Quraish and told them about his message, and invited them to worship God alone and forsake the worshiping of the idols, they denied and mocked him.

Therefore, God – be glorified – revealed this aya confirming the Prophet:]

(In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)​

1. (Şsad):

(or Truthful) [i.e. Mohammed is truthful.]
[I swear] (by the Quran with its admonitions!)

[Then God – be glorified – told His messenger about the arrogance of those associaters and their haughtiness and refusal to believe and submit to God, and He said:]

2. But [actually] the unbelievers are on arrogance and contradiction.

[Afterwards, God – be glorified – started to threaten and terrify them, and He said:]
3. And how many a generation before them We destroyed; when [the earthquake seized them] they cried [: Run away from the city], but [the angel, sent for their destruction, said:] “It is not a time for escaping”.

4. So they wonder that a warner has come to them out of themselves; so the unbelievers say: "This is a sorcerer telling lies [: for he claimed the prophethood.]"

Soora 112 contradicting the Trinity of Christians:

Soora 112

(In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)​

[Christians said that God is three: a father, a son and a Holy Ghost; therefore, this soora was revealed in reply to them:]
(1. Say [O Mohammed to those Christians who believe in the Trinity]:
"He is God, One [but not three whom you claim to be one.]"

2. "God is Eternal [and Invariable.]"

3. "Who never begot [anyone], nor was He ever begotten."

[Then He confirmed that by His saying – be glorified:]
4. "And none [of creatures] is like to Him [in managing the universe.]")

The beginning of Soora 45

(In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)​

1. Ha, Miem:
[These abbreviated Arabic letters mean:]
Wisdom, O Mohammed! [: W. M.]

2. Revealing of the Book [: the Quran, including wisdom and admonition] from God, the All-Mighty, the Most Wise.

3. Surely, in [the creation of] the heavens and the earth there are signs [indicating God's might] for those who believe [in it.]

4. And [also there are signs] in your creation;
and [in] what ‘automobile beings’ [: animals and man] He has scattered abroad there are [also] indicative signs for a people having sure faith [about such signs.]

5. And in the succession of the night and day [there are sings],
and [in] the provision [: the rain] that God has sent down from the sky: reviving thereby the earth after being barren,
and [in] the veering of winds, there are signs to a people who realize.

6. These [creatures] are the signs of God [indicating His Oneness and His absolute might], that We reveal to you [Mohammed] with truth; then in what relation, after [the relation of] God [: the Quran] and His revelations will they believe [if they do not believe in the Quran?])

The initial part of the soora 18

Here is the recitation of these blessed ayat of the Quran

youtube.com/watch?v=7izpBYH0DrQ

Quran 18: 1-8, which mean:
(1. Praise is due to God, Who has sent down, to His servant [Mohammed], the Book, and has not assigned in it [to his servant Mohammed] any hardship.

[Then God – be glorified – started to describe His servant Mohammed, and He said:]
2. [So that Mohammed will be] a guardian [on you]:
to warn [the disbelievers] of a mighty punishment [coming] from Him,
and [to] bear glad tidings to the believers who do righteous [deeds], that [in the Next Life], they will have a goodly reward.

3. Wherein they will remain forever.

4. Further that he may warn those [associaters] who say: "God has taken [for Himself] a son (or daughters.)"

5. They have no [true] knowledge of such [word], nor even had their fathers; a grievous word it is [to God] that issues from their [spiritual] mouths; they only say a lie.

6. Yet perchance, if they believe not in this theme, you [Mohammed] will kill yourself with grief [for them], on account of [their sanctifying of] their monuments.

7. We have made what [plant, animal and man] is on the earth an ornament thereof, to try them, which of them is acting best.

8. And We will make all that is on the [earth as] barren dust.)

The terminal part of soora 59: 22-24, which mean:

This is the nice recitation of these ayat and others:

(22. He is God; there is no god [to be worshipped in the entire universe] but He [alone.]
He is the Knower of the ‘unseen’ and the ‘vsible’.
He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

23. He is God; there is no god but He:
the Sovereign,
the All-Sacred [: Sanctified by His angels],
the All-Intact,
the Believer [in His might],
the Dominant [over His servants and all His creatures],
the Almighty [in His kingdom],
the Compeller [of disbelievers and associaters to the Fire],
the Most Proud o [above His servants.]
Glorified be God above all [His creatures] that they associate [and worship besides Him.]

4. He is God;
the Creator [of all creatures],
the Savior [of His devoted servants],
the Designer [of bodies inside wombs.]
His are the Names Most Beautiful.
All [birds and beasts] that are in the heavens and the earth glorify Him;
He is the All-Mighty, the Most Wise.)

Soora 45

(In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)​

1. Ha, Miem:
[These abbreviated Arabic letters mean:]
Wisdom, O Mohammed! [: W. M.]

2. Revealing of the Book [: the Quran, including wisdom and admonition] from God, the All-Mighty, the Most Wise.

3. Surely, in [the creation of] the heavens and the earth there are signs [indicating God's might] for those who believe [in it.]

4. And [also there are signs] in your creation; and [in] what ‘automobile beings’ [: animals and man] He has scattered abroad there are [also] indicative signs for a people having sure faith [about such signs.]

5. And in the succession of the night and day [there are sings],
and [in] the provision [: the rain] that God has sent down from the sky: reviving thereby the earth after being barren,
and [in] the veering of winds, there are signs to a people who realize.

6. These [creatures] are the signs of God [indicating His Oneness and His absolute might], that We reveal to you [Mohammed] with truth; then in what relation, after [the relation of] God [: the Quran] and His revelations will they believe [if they do not believe in the Quran?]

7. Woe [: severe punishment] will be to every sinful liar!

8. Who hears God's revelations recited to him, and then insists on his arrogance as if he heard them not; so give him tidings of a painful doom.

9. And when he knows anything of Our revelations, he [only] takes them in mockery [before his friends.]
For such [mockers about the revelations] there [will] be a humbling chastisement [in the Barzakh world or the Afterlife.]

10. After that [humiliating chastisement], there will be for them [the chastisement of] Hell; never will [the wealth] that they earn avail them anything, nor [can] their patrons – whom they choose apart from God – [avert them the chastisement], and they will have a grievous chastisement [in Hell.]

11. This [Quran] is a guidance [to the way of the truth],
but those – who unbelieve in the revelations of their Lord – will have a chastisement of ‘painful wrath’.

12. It is God That has subjected for you the sea, so that ships may sail on it, according to His order,
and that you may seek after [provision: out of] His bounty,
and that you may give thanks [to God for such bounties.]

13. And [God] has subjected to you [all] that is in the [gaseous] heavens and [all] that is in the earth; all [of that is according to a command issuing] from Him.
Surely in such [creation and subjection are included] signs [indicating a Most Wise and a Most Able Creator] to a people who reflect.)
