إِلَٰه نَار سما أَ رَضْ مَثَلَ نَار شَكَا صَبُحَ صَبُحَ فِي زَجَّ زَجَّ كَوْكَب دَرَّ وقد شَجَرَ بَرَكَ زَيْت شَرَقَ غَرَبَ كَادَ زَيْت ضَاءَ مسّ نَار نَار نَار هَدَى إِلَٰه نَار شِاءَ ضَرَبَ إِلَٰه مَثَلَ أَنِسَ إِلَٰه كُلّ شِاءَ علِم


Allah is the light of the universe and the earth. The example of His light is like a Niche with a Lamp. The Lamp is within the glass. The glass is like a brilliant star, lit from the blessed tree of olive, neither eastern nor western. Its oil almost glows even if the fire did not touch Him—Radiance (light) upon Radiance (light). Allah guides to His light whomever He desires. Allah sets examples for humankind. And Allah Knows everything.Note. The universe is the same in all directions. Ref.www.imperial.ac.uk. The Universe does not have a fixed North, East, South, and West. These are simply cardinal directions on Earth that are used to orient ourselves. In the context of the Universe, it is more common to refer to directions in relation to astronomical objects, such as "towards the center of the Milky Way" or "away from the Andromeda galaxy.

Allah has created every living thing (that moves living organisms) from the water. Then, some walk on their stomach, some walk on their feet, and some walk on four. Allah creates what He wants. Allah has Control over Everything. Note" In addition to influencing the overall shape of cells, water also impacts some fundamental components of every cell: DNA and proteins. Proteins are produced as a long chain of building blocks called amino acids and need to fold into a specific shape to function correctly. Water drives the folding of amino acid chains as different types of amino acids to seek and avoid interacting with water. Proteins provide structure, receive signals, and catalyze chemical reactions in the cell. In this way, proteins are the workhorses of cells. Ultimately proteins drive the contraction of muscles, communication, digestion of nutrients, and many other vital functions. Without the proper shape, proteins would be unable to perform these functions, and a cell (let alone an entire human) could not survive. Similarly, DNA needs to be in a specific shape for its instructions to be properly decoded. Proteins that read or copy DNA can only bind DNA that has a particular shape. Water molecules surround DNA in an ordered fashion to support its characteristic double-helix conformation. Without this shape, cells would be unable to follow the care instructions encoded by DNA or pass the instructions onto future cells, making human growth, reproduction, and, ultimately, survival infeasible) Ref. harvard.edu.

Allah has promised to the believers among you and those who do righteous deeds that they will be the successors on the earth like those who were the successors before them. He will establish the religion He accepted for them and replace their fear with peace. They worship Me and do not share anything (else) with Me.

O you who believe, let those your right hand possesses seek your permission, and those who have not reached adulthood should ask permission three times: before the dawn break prayer, in the afternoon when you lay down your clothes, and after the night prayer. These are the three prohibited (times). After that, there is no sin on you or them, so they make rounds (to serve) for some of you. Allah makes it clear for you the signs, and Allah is All-Knowing and Wisest.

إِلَٰه فِي سما أَ رَضْ علِم يوْم رَجَعَ نبأ عَمِلَ إِلَٰه كُلّ شِاءَ علِم


Is it not (true) that whatever is in the universe and the earth is for Allah? He Knows what you are upon, and (one) day, they will return to Him, and He will inform them about what they have done. And Allah Knows Everything.
