Al Buruj (The Constellations) (85)- 22
1> By the Sky (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
2> By the promised Day (of Judgment);
3 By one that witnesses and the subject of the witness
4 Woe to the makers of the pit (of Fire)
5 Fire supplied (abundantly) with Fuel:
6 Behold! they sat over against the (fire).
7 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
8> And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah Exalted in Power worthy of all Praise!
9> Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! and Allah is Witness to all things.
10 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers men and women and do not turn in repentance will have the Penalty of Hell: they will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire
11> For those who believe and do righteous deeds will be Gardens Beneath which Rivers flow: that is the great Salvation (the fulfillment of all desires).
12> Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.
13> It is He Who creates from the very beginning and He can restore (life).
14> And He is the Oft-Forgiving Full of loving-kindness
15> Lord of the Throne of Glory
16> Doer (without let) of all that He intends.
17 Has the story reached thee of the Forces
18 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?
19 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!
20 But Allah doth encompass them from behind!
21 Nay this is a Glorious Qur'an
22> (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
# "Inscribed in a Tablet Preserved", i.e. Allah's Message is not ephemeral. It is eternal. The "Tablet" is "preserved" or guarded from corruption: xv. 9: for Allah's Message must endure for ever. That Message is the "Mother of the book": see n. 347 to iii. 7.#
*** Since the Quran was 'recited', it was never inscribed on any Tablet.
This description is an imitation of the beliefs of the Jews that the Tablets of the Ten Commandments and the Torah have their archetype - holy scripture - preserved in HEAVEN.
Once more, the Quran PLAGIARISES another tradition from the
People of the Book and arrogates it to its followers.
There is not one single new and practical concept, precept, idea or thought in the whole of the Quran that is equal to or superior to those in the Bible and Scriptures.
Not one ***
