حَمِدَ إِلَٰه فَطَرَ سما أَ رَضْ جعل ملك رَسِلَ اول جَنَحَ ثنى ثَلًثَ رَبَعَ زَادَ فِي خَلَقَ شِاءَ إِلَٰه كُلّ شِاءَ قدر


All the Praises to Allah, Creator, and Giver of the natural disposition, to the universe and the earth (Creator, Splitter of the Universe), Creator of the angels as Messengers with wings of two, three, and four. He adds to creation what He Wills. Allah has Control and Power over everything. (Note. In physical cosmology, assuming that a Grand Unified Theory describes nature, the grand unification epoch was the period in the evolution of the early universe following the Planck epoch, starting at about 10^−43 seconds after the Big Bang, in which the temperature of the universe was comparable to the characteristic temperatures of grand unified theories. If the grand unification energy is taken to be 10^15 GeV, this corresponds to temperatures higher than 10^27 K. During this period, three of the four fundamental interactions—electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and the weak interaction—were unified as the electronuclear force. Gravity had separated from the electronuclear force at the end of the Planck era. During the grand unification epoch, physical characteristics such as mass, charge, flavor, and color were meaningless. The grand unification epoch ended at approximately 10^−36 seconds after the Big Bang. At this point, several key events took place. The strong force separated from the other fundamental forces. It is possible that some part of this decay process violated the conservation of baryon number and gave rise to a small excess of matter over antimatter (see baryogenesis). This phase transition is also thought to have triggered the process of cosmic inflation that dominated the development of the universe during the following inflationary epoch. Ref. Wikipedia)

No one will help to carry burdens (sins) for others. Even if you call them to carry your weight (burden of sins), nothing can be carried, even though they are related. Only You can warn those who fear their Rabb Invisible and establish prayers. And whoever among you purifies himself, purifies for his good. To Allah is the destination.

Do you not see that Allah sends water down from the sky? With this, it grows fruits of different colors. And in the mountains are unusual white and red colors and the peculiar black (layers). Note. Banded iron formations (banded ironstone formations or BIFs) are distinctive units of sedimentary rock consisting of alternating layers of iron oxides and iron-poor chert. They can be several hundred meters thick and extend laterally for several hundred kilometers. Almost all of these formations are of Precambrian age and are thought to record the oxygenation of the Earth's oceans. Some of the Earth's oldest rock formations, formed about 3,700 million years ago (Ma), are associated with banded iron formations. (Banded iron formations are thought to have formed in seawater due to oxygen production by photosynthetic cyanobacteria. The oxygen combined with dissolved iron in Earth's oceans forms insoluble iron oxides, precipitating out, creating a thin layer on the ocean floor. Each band is similar to a varve, resulting from cyclic variations in oxygen production Ref. Wikipedia, (Varve, banded_iron_formation. a pair of thin layers of clay and silt of contrasting color and texture that represent the deposit of a single year (summer and winter) in a lake. Such layers can be used to determine the chronology of glacial sediments).

Say, “Do you see those you call partners other than Allah? Show me what they have created on the earth. Or do they have a share in the universe? Or did We give them a book so they have proof of it? But the promise of the cruel to each other is nothing but an illusion (deception).

They were deemed great (think they are important) on earth and tried to deceive with their evil plans. But their bad plan overwhelms none but its groups. Can they see the traditional way of the earlier nations? You will not find any change in the Norm of Allah, and you will not find that the practice of Allah is altered.
