Ayah Of The Day
TAJ:
Peace ,
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَـٰلِكَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِى ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬
Say, “O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty off from whom You will. And You dignify whoever You will and You indignify whoever You will. In Your hand is [all] the goodness. Indeed, You are over all things competent. (3:26)
Samia:
Nice thread and brilliant idea!
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Nice thread
"Never let your enmity for anyone lead you into the sin of deviating from justice. Always be just: that is closest to being God-fearing" (5 :8 )
"I shall not lose sight of the labor of any of you who labors in My way, be it man or woman; each of you is equal to the other (3:195)"
Say, "Whose testimony is the greatest?" Say, "GOD's. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside GOD." Say, "I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry." (6:19)
nsws1988:
OK which one is ayah of the day? They're all as good :)
I like this one...
"Learn from your past, to work righteousness for your future, that you may attain mercy," (36:45)
It was directed to those who disbelieved but I think you can apply it to the mistakes that we make. I love it!

--- End quote ---
God does not do things like the worldly kings, although he is all powerful.He does not change his Sunnah. He gives his blessings according to his laws and Sunnah and punishes, if so, according to his established laws and not just because he is all powerful. Hence, we have to be careful when we say he will just give and take from you just because he wants or wills to do that ( although he is all powerful ).
A better rendition may be as follows:
Say, “O God! Owner of all Dominion! You give power to nations according to Your Laws and You strip off power from nations according to Your Laws. You have established Rules for attaining honor and facing humiliation. All good emanates from Your Hand. Certainly, You have Power over all things.”
[God has appointed due measure for all things in the Universe, and therefore, His Rule is the Rule of Law] (from www.ourbeacon.com)
