Comparative Study between the Bible versus the Quran (42) – C: The third part (II)

(Chapter 42:6-10)

The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Joseph said unto his brethren: you are spies!
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about the chief Jewish priests wanted to take Jesus, and put Him to death.
The Noble Quran Verses from 1-5 are talking about 1) Allah is the Protector and He revives the dead for the Resurrection, 2) Had Allah willed He could make them having one Religion but…, 3) In Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn penitently, 4) Muhammad is not responsible for them; His duty is only to deliver Allah's Message and 5) Mecca is the mother of cities.

The Noble Quran:

Chapter 42 in the Noble Quran is composed of 53 verses.
Verses from 6-10 are talking about 1) Allah is the Protector and He revives the dead for the Resurrection, 2) Had Allah willed He could make them having one Religion but…, 3) In Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn penitently, 4) Muhammad is not responsible for them; His duty is only to deliver Allah's Message and 5) Mecca is the mother of cities.

Verse six says that those who have taken as protectors or guardians others besides Him, Allah is watchful over them, He keeps count of their deeds; Allah is Warden over them and He is Witness of them and of their works,
You are not responsible for them such that you are taken to task on their account; and you are not a guardian over them, in order to secure what is demanded of them: your duty is only to deliver the Message.

Verse seven says that Allah sent you Gabriel with the Quran in the Arabic usage that you can warn, threaten, the mother of cities (Mecca) and those around it of townships. And that you warn, mankind, of the Day of Gathering, the Day of Resurrection whereat all humans will be gathered, of which there is no doubt. A part, of them, will be in Paradise, these are the believers, and a part will be in the Blaze, the Fire and these are the disbelievers.

Verse eight says that Had Allah willed He could have made them one community; in other word, had Allah willed He would have gathered the Jews, Christians and the idolaters in one religion, the religion of Islam. But He admits whomever He will into His mercy. And the evildoers, the disbelievers and the unjust have neither guardian nor helper, to ward off the chastisement from them.

Verse nine says that: Or have they chosen protectors or guardians besides Him, or have they worshipped deities beside Allah? But Allah, He (alone) is the Protecting of all of them. He [alone] is the Guardian, the One who helps believers. He revives the dead for the Resurrection, and He is Able to do all things whether it is taking away life or giving it.

Verse ten says that: And whatever you may differ, with disbelievers, in, of religion or otherwise, the verdict therein belongs, it will return, to Allah.
On the Day of Resurrection; He will judge between you.
Say to them: That then is my God, my Lord; in Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn penitently.

The Verses 6-10:

[6] As for those who take guardians for themselves, other than him, Allah is the warden over them. You are not a guardian over them.
[7] thus have we sent by inspiration to you an Arabic Quran, so that you can warn the mother of cities (Mecca) and all around and all who live about it, and that you may give warning of the day of gathering together wherein is no doubt; a party shall be in the paradise and (another) party in the burning fire, in the blaze.
[8] If Allah had so willed, he could have made them a single people; but he admits whom he will to his mercy; and the wrong-doers will have neither protector nor helper.
[9] What! Have they taken (for worship) protectors besides Him? But it is Allah, - He is the protector, and it is he who gives life to the dead: it is He, who has power over all things,
[10] Whatever you differ upon, its judgment belongs to Allah. Such is Allah, my lord, in him I have put my trust, and to him I turn in repentance.
