some stern BUT PAMPERING quranic verses:

_____________________________________________________________

USM | HOST |BOOK REVIEW | AUDIO OF REVELATION | EXIT

OUR lord creates us & he accompanies us:

WHEN MY SERVANTS ask thee concerning me,

i am indeed close (to them):

i listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on me:

let them also, with a will,

listen to my call,

and believe in me:

that they may walk in the right way

AL-BAQARAH: 186

__________________

creation of man - an opportunity (&OBLIGATION)

to devote OURselves to allah:

i have only created

jinns and men, that

they may serve me.

no sustenance do i require

of them, nor do i

require that they shouLd

feed me.

for allah is he who

gives (all) sustenance -

lord of power -

steadfast (forever).

adz-dzariyat: 56-58

____________________

did ye then think

that we had created you

in jest, and that ye

would not be brought back

to us (for account)?

al-mukminun: 115
