How great He is for owning all the waters in the whole wide world?

He knows about each and every cubic centimetre of both fresh and sea water, and their respective contents, animate or not.

He knows about all the species that reside therein and feeds them everyday and that too very appropriately so with utmost precision.

I find this video down below very enlightening. Hope you enjoy it too!

For all the talents in the world that have existed, exist, and will exist are His blessings to begin with, from the know-how of carpentry, woodcutting, cement production, to all the countless works that we undertake daily to make a good and honest living.

He guides towards the raw materials, blesses the human with the understanding of how to work it to everybody's advantage, and provides with the strength of manpower too for large-scale production.

Every thing belongs to Him alone, from our bodies to the buildings that we occupy every day and every night.

How many animals can you think of?

I can think of cats, dogs, mice, hedgehogs, anteaters, lions, tigers, elephants, hyenas, and dinosaurs without forgetting birds, amongst so many more!

Now, all those animals are His beloved servants. Even the insects are His soldiers. Knowing Him and His Justice, as much as He loves everything that He Made, all those creatures have their own unique identities just like we do and He Alone knows them all distinctly and cares for them more than their own parents ever could.

He feeds them since always and they don't even have to work like we do!

Who owns all the pipes in the world, whatsoever material they are made out of?

He owns all the fixtures and fittings and it is by His Grace alone that all function properly daily.

He owns all the waters and electric currents that flow therein. He is the Owner of all the reservoirs and storage facilities that exist all over the world. All the power stations are from His blessings alone.

And even so, whatsoever blessing it may be, the greatest of all of His blessings is surely faith, one's own cleanliness of conscience, and the feeling of independence upon other than Him, although we all want to feel that we need each other for the sake of honouring His Goodness at the very least.

Who owns all the trees of the world?

Some trees are used for building houses while others are used to generate fire.

How great God is for growing them all over time?

So many insects and other lifeforms have trees as their houses, their natural habitats, while we are oblivious that they too have families and respective duties assigned to them by God.

Each and every single living organism has a role to play in His beautiful and generous blessing that we refer to as life.

Just as two twins have different fingerprints, each and every individual is unique in that respect.

No two persons will ever share exact fingerprints nor the same vocal cords.

How wise and great is God for making us so different and yet still so unique at the same time?

He created all the ages that have gone by, from the stone age to the bronze age to the iron age and every other age that we are surely oblivious of.

He knows the exact age of each and everybody at every point in time even while we can't even keep count that we are all slowly aging becoming a second older until we reach our birthdays.

Allāhu Akbar concerning all the people that have existed, exist, and will ever exist!

Allāhu Akbar concerning every world that exists save by His Power.

How many worlds exist that we can never keep count of?

The world of Mars, the red planet?

Planet Earth, the blue planet?

One verse of Chapter "The Opening" of the Holy Qur'ān rightly reads

:All Praise to God, Lord of the Worlds:

For all the worlds that anybody can think of exist only by His Will and nothing else!

Just what a tremendous creation emotions are, like, since the dawn of time!

And flavors, and taste buds, and just about any atom of creation!

The world inside a building and the world outdoors are two same but different worlds unto themselves.

How does one experience both worlds?

Some creatures may experience it in one way while others in a totally different way, suggesting a very wide scope of innumerable ways to experience worlds, whether it is life on Earth or on another planet...

I am currently living in my younger brother's room, who is now living in the world of the afterlife.

Being in this room is totally different to me than being in my own room, somewhat pretty much very rarely occupied except to access some clothes and other things, and where my bed lacks a mattress of sorts.

My point is, just how many worlds are there to experience, on a micro level as well as on a macro level, planet-wisely speaking that is?

That verse of Chapter 1 of the Holy Qur'ān rightly reminds us that

1716155823043.png

For the existence of each and every atom of each and every world one can ever think about firstly, and for one's own senses of perceiving and experiencing just about any world too!

Allāhu Akbar!

For He is certainly Greater than any thing and every thing one can ever imagine and could ever have experienced, whatsoever that could have been, whether animate or inanimate, physical or spiritual, or all of them at the same time! :)

God sees the eyes of everybody at once plus whatever they are beholding at all times.

He blessed our memories with eyes to remember what went on and when it happened too.

He is the reason why everything is just so beautiful.

Plus don't forget, cattle see in black and white.

Flies have hexagonal vision.

Bats perceive sonar waves!

So many ways to see things, so many kinds of eyes and other senses of perception which only He keeps functional, until death, that is.

Note that this verse is from the 19th Chapter (Sūrah) of the Qur'ān.

The chapter's title is Maryam (Arabic for Mary, mother of Jesus).

Isn't it evident that even Mary had that same beginning as Jesus?

And that all human beings too were grown from a drop of water to a full human baby and delivered into this world, all through God's Power?

Although I get on alright with most nonchristians, I could never want to call them friends because they've rejected Jesus..:)
"What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?..Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord, I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters" (Bible: 2 Cor 6:14-18 )

Muslims reject the worship of said person. We have a whole chapter entitled "Mary" in the Qur'ān.

If you care to read,

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
  1. Kaf. Ha. Ya. Ain. Sad.
  2. (This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His servant Zechariah.
  3. Behold! he cried to his Lord in secret,
  4. Praying: "O my Lord! infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!
  5. "Now I fear (what) my relatives (and colleagues) (will do) after me: but my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Thyself,-
  6. "(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!"
  7. (His prayer was answered): "O Zechariah! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be John: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."
  8. He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?"
  9. He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, that is easy for Me: I did indeed create thee before, when thou hadst been nothing!"
  10. (Zechariah) said: "O my Lord! give me a Sign." "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three nights, although thou art not dumb."
  11. So Zechariah came out to his people from his chamber: He told them by signs to celebrate God's praises in the morning and in the evening.
  12. (To his son came the command): "O John! take hold of the Book with might": and We gave him Wisdom even as a youth,
  13. And piety (for all creatures) as from Us, and purity: He was devout,
  14. And kind to his parents, and he was not overbearing or rebellious.
  15. So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!
  16. Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.
  17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.
  18. She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (God) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear God."
  19. He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.
  20. She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"
  21. He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us: It is a matter (so) decreed."
  22. So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.
  23. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"
  24. But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;
  25. "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.
  26. "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, I have vowed a fast to (God) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talking with any human being"
  27. At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!
  28. "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
  29. But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
  30. He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
  31. "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
  32. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
  33. "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
  34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.
  35. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.
  36. Verily God is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.
  37. But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!
  38. How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!
  39. But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!
  40. It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.
  41. (Also mention in the Book (the story of) Abraham: He was a man of Truth, a prophet.
  42. Behold, he said to his father: "O my father! why worship that which heareth not and seeth not, and can profit thee nothing?
  43. "O my father! to me hath come knowledge which hath not reached thee: so follow me: I will guide thee to a way that is even and straight.
  44. "O my father! serve not Satan: for Satan is a rebel against (God) Most Gracious.
  45. "O my father! I fear lest a Penalty afflict thee from (God) Most Gracious, so that thou become to Satan a friend."
  46. (The father) replied: "Dost thou hate my gods, O Abraham? If thou forbear not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long while!"
  47. Abraham said: "Peace be on thee: I will pray to my Lord for thy forgiveness: for He is to me Most Gracious.
  48. "And I will turn away from you (all) and from those whom ye invoke besides God I will call on my Lord: perhaps, by my prayer to my Lord, I shall be not unblest."
  49. When he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides God, We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and each one of them We made a prophet.
  50. And We bestowed of Our Mercy on them, and We granted them lofty honour on the tongue of truth.
  51. Also mention in the Book (the story of) Moses: for he was specially chosen, and he was a messenger (and) a prophet.
  52. And we called him from the right side of Mount (Sinai), and made him draw near to Us, for mystic (converse).
  53. And, out of Our Mercy, We gave him his brother Aaron, (also) a prophet.
  54. Also mention in the Book (the story of) Ishmael: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and he was a messenger (and) a prophet.
  55. He used to enjoin on his people Prayer and Charity, and he was most acceptable in the sight of his Lord.
  56. Also mention in the Book the case of Enoch: He was a man of truth (and sincerity), (and) a prophet:
  57. And We raised him to a lofty station.
  58. Those were some of the prophets on whom God did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (God) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.
  59. But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,-
  60. Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-
  61. Gardens of Eternity, those which (God) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.
  62. They will not there hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of Peace: And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.
  63. Such is the Garden which We give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who guard against Evil.
  64. (The angels say "We descend not but by command of thy Lord: to Him belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and thy Lord never doth forget,-
  65. "Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them; so worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship: knowest thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He?"
  66. Man says: "What! When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"
  67. But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?
  68. So, by thy Lord, without doubt, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Evil Ones (with them); then shall We bring them forth on their knees round about Hell;
  69. Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (God) Most Gracious.
  70. And certainly We know best those who are most worthy of being burned therein.
  71. Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.
  72. But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.
  73. When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe, "Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in council?"
  74. But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?
  75. Say: "If any men go astray, (God) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until, when they see the warning of God (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is worst in position, and (who) weakest in forces!
  76. "And God doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual return."
  77. Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"
  78. Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (God) Most Gracious?
  79. Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.
  80. To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.
  81. And they have taken (for worship) gods other than God, to give them power and glory!
  82. Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.
  83. Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?
  84. So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).
  85. The day We shall gather the righteous to (God) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,
  86. And We shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to water,-
  87. None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (God) Most Gracious.
  88. They say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"
  89. Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
  90. At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,
  91. That they should invoke a son for (God) Most Gracious.
  92. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.
  93. Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (God) Most Gracious as a servant.
  94. He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.
  95. And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.
  96. On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (God) Most Gracious bestow love.
  97. So have We made the (Qur'ān) easy in thine own tongue, that with it thou mayest give Glad Tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.
  98. But how many (countless) generations before them have We destroyed? Canst thou find a single one of them (now) or hear (so much as) a whisper of them?

No, he never said any such thing.

The Bible was altered.

Jesus was but a Prophet.

You are very, very wrong, sir.

Adam was a Prophet created without any parents, fashioned by God himself.

So was Eve.

Every human being are their descendants.

Many tribes have come and gone.

All of them received the message to love God more than every thing else.

As soon as the people go astray, God sends a messenger or a Prophet with commandments or a divine book to guide them back towards the truth and to shun evil.

Jesus was but a Prophet sent after many others had been likewise sent to their respective people.

I suggest you drop your lewd activities such as (viewing?) posting sexplicit content online like pictures of shameless individuals who seem lusty or something and get real.

You are soon gonna die and so am I and there is a life waiting for us in our future graves.

I find myself when I read the book of Mark from NIV Bible online (Link) from which I copied and pasted the following,

17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d]”

20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

End quote.

Now see, you are an old man speaking ill of your parents which means you hate them and you claim to be a friend of Jesus?

Don't call Jesus good for he is as good as much as God wills him to be, insofar as much I mean.

He is good only by God's blessings and so should we seek to become good too.

Do you give to the poor, Sir?

Last I heard you ignore them and stick to your own selfishness.

Come on now, when are you gonna get real with yourself?

Who are you trying to fool?

Are you a lover of your own desires or do you even believe in God at all?

Jesus was born and so were you and pretty much everybody else.

Our sole Sustainer is God Alone and nobody else.

Some people here truly digust me, you among them, I am sorry to say.

Farewell!

Jesus said he wants MATES..:)-
"You're my friends if you follow me. I don't call you servants, but I call you friends"- (John 15:15)

And he said he was the Son of God-
"..the high priest asked him, 'Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?'
'I am,” said Jesus"...(Mark 14:61-64)


And even God himself said he was his Son-
"This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, listen to him" (Matt 17:5)

But muslims don't believe God and Jesus, THAT's disgusting.. :p ..
"Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ" (1 John 2:22)

How great is God for knowing exactly how many beings are existing at any point in time?

More the reason for exclaiming Allāhu Akbar constantly, even if it's done silently.

And He knows all of their names and their talents and capabilities and respective properties.

He augments them and diminishes them as He wills, with or without anybody or anything.

He has power over each and every single atom that anybody can ever think of!
