COMBINATION OF [1]  THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND [2]    The Façade of so Called Christianity
 
[1]       SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [VOL. 508A]
 
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.  26  Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.  Deuteronomy 7:25 – 26, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
 
Yes, Almighty God (YHWH) is totally against idolatry in any form and when the ancient Hebrews made a golden calf His anger blazed against them.  Moses the servant of the all mighty Exodus 32:20, [AV] “And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.”  He detest all graven images no matter their form or material as shown at Isaiah 30:22, [AV] “Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.”  He considers them all per
Deuteronomy 29:17, [AV] “And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them

Francis David said it long ago, "Neither the sword of popes...nor the image of death will halt the march of truth. "Francis David, 1579, written on the wall of his prison cell." Read the book, "What Does The Bible Really Teach" and the Bible today, and go to WWW.JW.ORG!
 
[2]       The Façade of so Called Christianity
 
INTRODUCTION:
 
When Jesus (Yeshua) was on earth he clearly told his followers per John 15:19, "If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (American Standard Version; ASV) .    The Apostle Paul reiterated this and additional points at 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"  (Authorized King James Bible; AV).  
 
These were both warnings for genuine (true) footstep followers of Christ to keep themselves apart from the world and NOT get caught up in the ambitions of the world. 
 
Now why was this warning so necessary?   A quick look at what so called followers, actually apostate (counterfeit) Christians did to subvert the congregation to the world clearly shows most did not heed the words of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ.    These ambitious power-hungry men formed alliances and arrangements with the secular rulers and then formed state churches that amassed immense power and wealth, i.e., these churches taught 'twisted things.'

 
WRONG TEACHINGS OF APOSTATE (COUNTERFEIT) CHRISTIANS:
 
These apostate (counterfeit) Christians taught people to worship the state and to sacrifice their lives for it in carnal warfare.    Thus, so called 'Christians' participated in wars of religion, such as the 30 year War of Religion in Europe, the Crusades, the genocide of the Cathars, etc.  
 
They also went to war in support of nationalism where they ended up killing their own "brothers" of the same religion in violation of what Jesus (Yeshua) said at Matthew 22:37-39, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  38  This is the first and great commandment.  39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (AV); and 1 John 4:8-11, "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." (Authorized King James Bible; AV).
 
Clearly, the churches that for centuries have called themselves Christian represent merely a façade of Christianity.   Therefore, they now participate in events as previously enumerated.  There is a continuing trend for churches to fragment into sects, and to meddle in politics, and this in complete disregard to the laws of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael, creator of all there is.
 
Such bad conduct is the product, not of genuine (true) Christianity, but of apostate (counterfeit) Christianity, which the Devil sowed.
 
Now where is this false religion going?  Jesus (Yeshua) clearly showed in his illustration at Matthew 13:36-43, "36  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.  37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;  39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.  40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.  41  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;  42  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  43  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." (AV).
 
Therefore, as Jesus (Yeshua) showed false religion will not dimply die out for lack of support; It will be judged and destroyed.
 
CONCLUSION:
 
The evidence clearly shows that we are living in the conclusion of this system of things for some time now; therefore, the Culmination of the End Times is close at hand.
 
Jesus (Yeshua) also said at Matthew 24:3-14, "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  8  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.  11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (AV).   Clearly showing the Culmination of the End Times is near at hand.

Francis David said it long ago, "Neither the sword of popes...nor the image of death will halt the march of truth. "Francis David, 1579, written on the wall of his prison cell." Read the book, "What Does The Bible Really Teach" and the Bible today, and go to WWW.JW.ORG!
 
 
[2]       Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the Garcinia indica,  kokum, a plant in the mangosteen family (Clusiaceae), commonly known as kokum, is a fruit-bearing tree that has culinary, pharmaceutical, and industrial uses.
The genus Garcinia, belonging to the family Clusiaceae, includes about 200 species found in the Old World tropics, mostly in Asia and Africa. Garcinia indica is indigenous to the Western Ghats region of India located along the western coast of the country. Of the 35 species found in India, 17 are endemic. Of these, seven are endemic to the Western Ghats, six in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and four in the northeastern region of India.
Garcinia indica is found in forest lands, riversides and wastelands. These plants prefer evergreen forests, but sometimes they also thrive in areas with relatively low rainfall. It is also cultivated on a small scale. It does not require irrigation, spraying of pesticides or fertilizers.
Uses[edit]
Culinary uses
The outer cover of fruit is dried in the sun to get aamsul or kokam. It is also known as bhirand in Konkani and punarpuli in Kannada. It is used as a staple souring agent typically in Goan cuisine and some parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Kokum yields a peculiar flavour and blackish red colour. It is a preferred substitute for tamarind in curries and other dishes from the Goa and Konkanregion.[citation needed] It is also used in cuisine from Gujarat, where it is frequently used to add flavor and tartness to dal (lentil soup) for flavor balance, and parts of South India.It is extensively used in Assamese cuisine in many dishes like " masor tenga " or sour fish curry and " tenga dali " or sour dal. It is also used as a cure for upset stomach and colds. A few dry pieces are soaked in water for some time and then the pieces are mashed in the water itself and can be taken in whole.
Kokum squash or kokum concentrate is used in preparing a drink (sherbet) which is bright red in colour. Kokum sherbet improves digestion and cools the body during summers[citation needed].
Further, the extract/ concentrate of this fruit is called aagal in Konkani and Marathi. It is added during the preparation of solkadhi, along with coconut milk.
Industrial uses
The seed of Garcinia indica contains 23–26% oil, which remains solid at room temperature. It is used in the preparation of confectionery, medicines and cosmetics.
Recently, industries have started extracting hydroxycitric acid (HCA) from the rind of the fruit.[citation needed]
Other uses
The tree is ornamental, with a dense canopy of green leaves and red-tinged, tender, young leaves. The oily extract called kokum tel is used in foot massage.
Pharmacological study[edit]
Aqueous extracts of the dried fruits of Garcinia indica have an anxiolytic effect in mice.[1]

This warning is repeated many times in the Bible such as at 1 John 5:21, [AV] “Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”  Yes, genuine followers of Almighty God (YHWH) and His son Jesus (Yeshua) were directed per 2 Corinthians 6:17, [AV] “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,”  And to per Colossians 3:5, [AV] “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:”

[2]        Part One of Series Apparent Bible Contradictions vs. Real Contradictions in the Quran:
 
I will be presenting a group of research studies contrasting apparent contradictions in the word of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael, creator of all there is, the Bible vs. real contradictions in the Quran.
 
This group of research studies will first deal with salient apparent contradictions in the Bible, and then follow with a group of research studies by the Quarnic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza.    Now let's concentrate on learning the facts with an open mind instead of a closed mind on all parts of this series.
 
Apparent Contradictions in the Bible Compared To Real Ones In The Quran and the Book of Morman:
 
It is high time that some start to realize that there are only apparent contradictions in the Bible, but when examined closely we find that these are all due to failure to comprehend what is being said, failure to understand the writing styles of the time the item was written, failure to understand the sentence construction of the ancient language, errors in translation, and biases on the part of the translator. 
 
LET'S LOOK AT ONE EXAMPLE, MATTHEW 12:37-40 FROM WELL KNOWN:
 
"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."  But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and {yet} no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."  (New American Standard Bible; NASB)
 
"Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you."  He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.  For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."  (New International Version; NIV)
 
"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."  But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.  "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."  (New King James Bible; NKJB)
 
"Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."  (King James Version; KJV)
 
APPARENT CONTRADICTION AND ITS EXPLANATION WITH REGARD TO MATTHEW 12:37-40:
 
Some see an error or contradiction in these scriptures related to the amount of time Jesus (Yeshua) was in the grave, but there is NONE.  The true facts are:
"Yes, it does seem that way. We must remember that the Bible was written in other languages by cultures far removed from ours. Most alleged contradictions stem from a misunderstanding of certain terms and phrases. For example, Jesus predicted that He would be in the grave for "three days and three nights"(Matt.12:40). When we read the passion narratives, we see that He was crucified late Friday afternoon and that He rose from the dead, early on Sunday morning. It is impossible to get three days and three nights out of this, and I have seen many atheists refer to Jesus' prophecy as a "blatant error which completely destroys the credibility of the Bible."[source - I'd Like To Believe In Jesus, But...By Bob Siegel , Published by Campus Ambassador Press, A ministry of Mission To the Americas Wheaton, Illinois]

[2]       Part Two of Series Apparent Bible Contradictions vs. Real Contradictions in the Quran:
 
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 
1- Numerical Contradictions:
 
2- Creation of the Heaven and Earth

 
3- Sun-set and Sun-rise
 
4- A Resting Place For Sun!?
 
5- Why Allah Created Stars!
 
6- Is Sky/Heaven A ROOF or Canopy Over the Earth?
 
7- Does Sun Rotate Around the Earth?
 
8- Does Earth Spread Out Like Carpet (flat)
 
9- Is Man Created From Clotted Blood?
 
10- Is Religion Compulsive or is it not?
 
 
 
Prepared by: Syed Kamran Mirza
 
Special Note: Quranic ayats are taken mostly from translated Quran by Maulana A. Yousuf Ali and Maulana Muhiuddin Khan.
 
[b]NUMERICAL CONTRADICTIONS

 
There are many numerical contradictions in the Quran. Can God make so much error in doing simple calculations?
 
How many days did it take to create Heavens and Earth ?
 
Quran 7: 54 Your gurdian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
 
Quran 10: 3 Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
 
Quran 11:7 He it is Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between, in Six Days
 
The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and Allah created the heaven and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below stated-
 
Quran 41: 9 Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ?
 
Quran 41: 10 He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS...
 
Quran 41: 12 So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and ...
 
Now do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8 days; and not 6 days
 
Similar mistakes you can see in the verse: Quran 4: 11 - 12, and Quran 4: 176 in inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding all distributed parties adds up more than the available property, i.e., totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come ? A gross mathematical errors, is not it ?
 
Allah's Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years?
 
Quran 22: 47 A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning. Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousands years of your rekoning
 
Quran 70: 4 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty thousands years.
 
So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?

[2]       PART TWO OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
 
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 
1- Numerical Contradictions:
 
2- Creation of the Heaven and Earth

 
3- Sun-set and Sun-rise
 
4- A Resting Place For Sun!?
 
5- Why Allah Created Stars!
 
6- Is Sky/Heaven A ROOF or Canopy Over the Earth?
 
7- Does Sun Rotate Around the Earth?
 
8- Does Earth Spread Out Like Carpet (flat)
 
9- Is Man Created From Clotted Blood?
 
10- Is Religion Compulsive or is it not?
 
 
 
Prepared by: Syed Kamran Mirza
 
Special Note: Quranic ayats are taken mostly from translated Quran by Maulana A. Yousuf Ali and Maulana Muhiuddin Khan.
 
[b]NUMERICAL CONTRADICTIONS

 
There are many numerical contradictions in the Quran. Can God make so much error in doing simple calculations?
 
How many days did it take to create Heavens and Earth ?
 
Quran 7: 54 Your gurdian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
 
Quran 10: 3 Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
 
Quran 11:7 He it is Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between, in Six Days
 
The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and Allah created the heaven and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below stated-
 
Quran 41: 9 Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ?
 
Quran 41: 10 He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS...
 
Quran 41: 12 So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and ...
 
Now do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8 days; and not 6 days
 
Similar mistakes you can see in the verse: Quran 4: 11 - 12, and Quran 4: 176 in inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding all distributed parties adds up more than the available property, i.e., totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come ? A gross mathematical errors, is not it ?
 
Allah's Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years?
 
Quran 22: 47 A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning. Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousands years of your rekoning
 
Quran 70: 4 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty thousands years.
 
So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?

Re: Scripture of the Day

COMBINATION OF [1]  THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND [2]    Part Three of Series Apparent Bible Contradictions vs. Real Contradictions in the Quran
 
[1]       SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [VOL. 512A]
 
Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:  9  Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,  10  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.  Deuteronomy 5:8 – 10, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
 
Almighty God (YHWH) command that we should NOT have any kind of idols is quite clear and is echoed at Exodus 20:4, [AV] “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:”  And at 1 Corinthians 10:14, [AV] “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”  Yes, He will NOT give his glory to others and this is made clear at Isaiah 42:8, [AV] “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”

Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 
[b]CREATION OF THE HEAVEN AND EARTH

 
Which one was created first? As you will see in the verses below, Allah at one time says that Earth was created first and another time he says that the Heaven was created first.
 
Quran 2: 29 It is He who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; THEN He turned to the Heaven and made them into seven firmaments (Skies)....
 
Quran 79: 27 - 30 Are you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; and He has made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morning thereof. And after that, He spread (flattened) the earth
 
 
Now, does it match modern science? Do you believe that, Earth was created first, after that, God created Heaven? Modern science tells us that? Or How come SEVEN firmaments (layers)? Modern science tells us that, actually there is no such thing Sky is no "roof" over us. It is only a space with no known boundary at all. These verses simply reinforce the ancient idea of ROOF over us which is called SKY, is it not so? How funny!

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:  7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.   1 Peter 5:6 – 7, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
 
Yes, we should exalt Almighty God (YHWH) over everything else including ourselves, and this truth is clearly stated at Matthew 23:12, [AV] “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”  And at Matthew 6:25, [AV] “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”  Instead, we should per Psalms 55:22, [AV] “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

[2]       Part Four of Series Apparent Bible Contradictions vs. Real Contradictions in the Quran:
 
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 
This part consist of: 3- Sun-set and Sun-rise and 4- A Resting Place For Sun!?
 
[b]SUN-SET AND SUN-RISE

Koran teaches us that the Sun sets in a muddy spring:
 
Quran 18: 86 Till, when he (the traveller Zul-qarnain) reached the setting-place of the Sun, he found it going down into a muddy spring...
 
Quran 18: 90 Till, when he reached the rising-place of the Sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter from it.
 
Serious scientific errors here! Firstly, it is scientifically accepted fact that, the Sun never go down in a muddy spring. Secondly, this seems to presuppose a FLAT Earth, otherwise how can there be an extreme point in the West or in the East? A sunrise there would be basically just the same as at any other place on this earth, at land or sea. It would still look as if it is setting "far away". It does say, that he reached THE PLACE where the Sun sets and in his second Journey the place where it rises.
 
A RESTING PLACE FOR SUN!?
 
Quran 36: 38 And the sun runneth on unto a resting place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
Quran 36: 39 And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm leaf.
Quran 36: 40 It is not for Sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
 
Allah is indeed a big scientist. Where is sun and where is moon situated? Can anybody tell me how they could collide/meet/overtake each other? Are the sun and the moon neighbors to each other? I have the answer for this error: Ancient Allah saw (bare eye observations) sun and moon traveling from east to west seemingly in the same Sky area or same path, without colliding, causing day and night etc. Allah hardly could imagine that all these phenomena are simply due to Earth's rotation and NOT by Sun's rotation. Sun is stationary for Earth, because earth is stuck in the sun's Gravity, like we are stuck in earth's gravity. Allah never says any where in the whole Quran that, EARTH ROTATES. Perhaps Allah could not feel earth's rotation.
 
A resting place for sun WAS CONFIRMED BY HADITHS?
 
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421
Sahih Bukhari Hadiths: Abzur Ghifari (ra) narrated: one day Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) asked me, "Abzar do you know after setting where does Sun go?" I replied, I do not know, only Allah's apostle can say better. Then Prophet (SA) replied, "After setting, the sun remains prostrated under Allah's Aro'sh and waits for Allah's command for rising again in the East. Day will come when sun will not get permission to rise again and Qeyamot will fall upon Earth".
 
Can anybody tell me what is it? It was the superstitious belief of ancient people reflected in the Quran and Hadiths by Allah. A 10-year-old boy would not tell such fairy tale story today.

Almighty God (YHWH) clearly has given the gift of life to all, good and bad, this is clearly shown at Matthew 7:11, [AV] “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”  Yes, as shown at Malachi 3:6, [AV] “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” He does not change.

[2]       Part Five of Series Apparent Bible Contradictions vs. Real Contradictions in the Quran:
 
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 

Part Five consist of 5- Why Allah Created Stars! And 6- Is Sky/Heaven A ROOF or Canopy Over the Earth? 
 
[b]WHY OLD MIDDLE EASTERN CELESTIAL MOON GOD, "ALLAH," CREATED STARS!

 
Quran gives us further scientific knowledge by telling us that the stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils:
 
Quran 67: 5 And We have (from of old) adorned the lowest heaven (sky) with lamps, and We have made such (Lamps as) missiles to drive away Satans...
 
Quran 37: 6-8 We have indeed decorated the lower heaven (sky) with beauty (in) the stars, (for beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious Satans. So they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side.
 
Thus, the stars are nothing but missiles to throw at devils so that they may not eavesdrop on the heavenly council. Once again we find how Allah was high on his superstitious weirdness.
 
IS SKY/HEAVEN A ROOF OR CANOPY OVER THE EARTH?
 
Quran 21: 32 And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.
 
Quran 31: 10 He hath created the heavens (Skies) without supports (pillars) that ye can see, and hath cast into the earth firm Mountains/Hills, so that it quake not with you; and He hath dispersed...
 
Quran 2: 22: Who has made the earth your couch, And the heavens (Sky) your canopy
 
Modern science tells us- whole thing around the earth is space and there is no boundary even if we go Billions of light years away in all directions. Questions are: When there is no sky above us then how in the world, it needs pillars for support? Do we really have a roof above us? Is there a canopy above the Earth? Is there anything called above or beneath us? Are mountains there to prevent Earth from shaking? Give me a break!
 
Once again Allah considered sky as roof over the Earth, which will broke/shattered during dooms day
 
Quran 78: 19 And the heavens (sky) Shall be broken (opened) as if there were doors opens...
 
Quran 82: 1 When the Sky is cleft asunder
 
Quran 69: 16 And the sky will be Rent asunder, for it will That day be flimsy (soft)
 
Quran 81: 2 When the stars fall, losing their luster.
 
Yousuf Ali comments in his Tafsir: beautiful blue-sky overhead (which we take for granted in sunshine) will be shattered to pieces. Modern science tells us that there is no such thing as roof/sky or any canopy over the Earth; rather all around Earth is a limitless space. Only Allah knows what will break/shatter or will get soft/flimsy or how doors will open , there is no walls, where from doors will come? In some Ayats Allah threatened kafirs by saying: "I (Allah) will throw broken pieces of sky over your head."

Almighty God (YHWH) has always existed and He does not change.  As He said, Isaiah 43:10, [AV] “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”  Yes to be His genuine follower, you must keep yourself without spot from the world per James 1:27, [AV] “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
 
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
 
Part Six consist of 7- Does Sun Rotate Around the Earth? And
8- Does Earth Spread Out Like Carpet (flat)
 
[b]DOES SUN ROTATE AROUND THE EARTH?

 
Quran 31: 29 Seest thou not that Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night; That He has subjected the sun and moon (to His law), each running its course for a term (time) appointed.
 
Quran 21: 33 It is He who created The Night and Day, And the Sun and Moon; each of them Swim (float) along in its own course.
 
Ayats mentioned above could be found over and over again and again almost in every pages of Quran. Because, Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," standing in the open Arab desert saw very well that, every morning SUN is rising from the East and gradually (appointed time or fixed time) setting to the West, and as a result, day and night follows. Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," truly mentioned this wrong knowledge (sun moving) of pre-historic people. Every time Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," mentioned Sun & Moon, He mentioned day & night, as if it is due to sun's movement day and night follows. But surprisingly, all the hypocrite Mullahs giving false credit to Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," by saying: look Quran told about sun's movement 1400 years ago which modern science only found out now. In real world, sun takes 225 millions of years to make just one complete circle through the solar Universe. And obviously this movement of sun has nothing to do with DAY & NIGHT of the earth. Actually, Sun is stationary in relation to the Earth, because the Earth is stuck to the giant gravitation force of the Sun, and the Earth also moves along with the Sun wherever it goes, just the way we are stuck to the Earth's gravitation force and do not feel its movement at all.
 
Why then, Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," was telling the Sun's movement again and again. I have already mentioned above, why Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," was hysteric about the Sun's movements. Now dishonest Mullahs are claiming science here. I wonder, why Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," has to mentioned about the Sun's 225 millions year journey (which is even unimaginable to mankind) to tell about day and night? What relation Sun's movement has with the day and night?
 
DOES EARTH SPREAD OUT LIKE CARPET (FLAT)?
 
Quran 15: 19 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon Mountains firm and immovable;
 
Quran 78: 6-7 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, And the mountains as pegs (anchor)?
 
Allah was sure that earth is flat like a carpet and mountains are there to anchor the earth so that earth does not shake with us. Allah is really merciful scientist.

But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.   Jeremiah 10:10, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
 
Yes, Almighty God (YHWH) alone is the all powerful we can put our trust in as shown by Joshua 3:10, [AV] “And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.”  Joshua’s trust was not misplaced because He did give him victory over all these enemies.  He could do so since as Psalms 10:16, [AV] “The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.”  And as said at Psalms 90:11, [AV] “Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.”

[2]       Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the Lemon drop mangosteen, Garcinia intermedia (Clusiaceae) 
  
Common Names 
English: lemon drop mangosteen, mameyito 
Spanish: mameyito, sastra
Portuguese (Brazil): achachairu 
 
Origin and Distribution 
Native to southern Mexico and Central America.  Cultivated sporadically throughout the tropics. 
 

Botanical Synonyms 
Rheedia intermedia, Rheedia edulis and Calophyllum edule.  
 
Description
Lemon drop mangosteen is a small tree, from 15-20 feet (5-6  m) tall, with a straight, dark brown trunk.  Young branches have smooth green bark.  Contains yellow latex.  Leaves are opposite, stiff, 3-5 inches (7.6-13  cm) long and 1-2 inches (2.5-5  cm) wide.  Flowers are whitish and small, perfect, and produced in axillary groups of 1-15 at branch nodes.  The fruits are round, about 1 inch (2.5  cm) in diameter, with a thin orange to reddish peel.  The whitish pulp has an aromatic sweet sour taste, and contains 1-2 seeds. 
 
Propagation and Culture
Lemon drop mangosteen is usually propagated by seed, which loses viability rapidly if allowed to dry out.  The seeds germinate easily and the tree is precocious, flowering and fruiting in 2-3 years.  It can be grown and will fruit in a large pot.
 
The tree is very adaptable, growing well in different soils and environments from sea level to 4,000 feet (1,219  m) elevation.  It grows well in full sun or shade, but fruits better in full sun.  Flowers and fruits sporadically throughout the year… 
 
Cultivars and Related Species
There are no named cultivars of lemon drop mangosteen, but some trees have sweeter fruit, and could be propagated by grafting. 
 
There are over 100 Garcinia species, mostly from southeast Asia.  Garcinia species from the Americas were once classified as Rheedia, but now all are considered Garcinia.
   
Uses
Lemon drop mangosteen is primarily consumed fresh, but can also be used to make juices, jams and jellies.  The wood is resistant to termites, and is used to make posts and tool handles.  The tree is an attractive ornamental, especially when in fruit.  [source - retrieved from   http://www.montosogardens.com/garcinia_intermedia.htm    on  5/11/2013]
 
Growth
The fast growing tree reaches a height of about 5 meters. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils, up to an altitude of around 4000 feet. It can be grown successfully and will fruit in a large pot. It grows best with regular water in full sun in a humid environment. It tolerates high temperatures but is probably not frost hardy. It has small, whitish flowers which are perfect and makes an attractive ornamental tree, especially when in truit, which may be year round. Its leaves are opposite.
 
The wood is termite resistant and used to make posts and tool handles.
 
Propogation
The tree is generally propogated from seeds, though it can be grafted. No named cultivars are known. Seeds lose viability if dried, but can retain viability for a period of months if kept moist.
