In Bible versus Quran: When you will die?

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (8)

This is the eighth article of the series:" The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran". 

The Bible says that you will die if you live according to the flesh; and you will live if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

On the other hand, the Quran says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

Romans 8:13-15 in five different versions of the Bible:

Romans 8:13-15

Father!"

King James Version

13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

13for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

14for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

15for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba -- Father.'

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (8)

On the other hand, the Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Allah has not taken any son either from the Children of Adam or from the angels.

if there were a god along with Allah, each god would have taken away what he created, he would have made it exclusively his and prevented the other [god] from having any mastery over it; and some of them would surely rise up against others, in challenge, just as the kings of this world are wont to do.

Allah is the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, what is hidden and what is observed.  And exalted, magnified, be He above what they associate!, with Him of son or partners.  Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

1. Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.

From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:

Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.

Any one who believes that the Almighty Creator has neither a son nor a partner he has a good faith and is considered as a believer and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.

Verses 25:1-3 make the issue of the son(s) of God clear.

--------------------------------------------

The meanings of verses 25:1-3

The meanings of verse 25:1

Blessed is Allah who revealed the Criterion (Al-Furq?n), the Quran.  Al-Furq?n is the pronunciation of an Arabic word that is derived from the root faraqa.  Faraqa means to differentiate or to discriminate between two things.  Hence, the Quran is called Al-Furq?n because it has discriminated between truth and falsehood.

Blessed is Allah who sent The Angel Gabriel with the Quran unto His servant, Muhammad, so that he may warn, all the worlds and threatens of Allah’s chastisement. All the worlds herein mean mankind and the jinn, but not the angels.

What is the meaning of Blessed is (Allah who revealed the Quran)?

It means that Allah is the Possessor of grace and He is exalted and transcendent above and exonerated from having a son or partner.

The meanings of verse 25:2

Unto Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and He has not taken a son, nor has He any partner in sovereignty; and He created everything, which was meant to be created, and then determined it in a precise and a specific measure, He fashioned it in a balanced form.

The meanings of verse 25:3

Yet they, the disbelievers, have taken other than Allah, gods, from among the idols, who create nothing but have themselves been created, and who possess no harm for themselves, that is, [the power] to repel it, nor any benefit, that is, [the power] to attract it, nor do they possess [any power over] death or life, that is, [nor do they have the power] to make a person die or to give him life, they have no ability to diminish one's life nor to increase one's life.  It is also said that this means: they are unable either to create a sperm drop or to place therein the spirit, nor do they have power to raise the dead after they die, the resurrection.

Verses 25:1-3 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

Verse 25:1

QARIB: blessed is he who has sent down the criterion to his worshiper (Prophet Muhammad), that he is a Warner to all mankind;

SHAKIR: blessed is he who sent down the Furqan upon his servant that he may be a Warner to the nations;

PICKTHAL: blessed is he who hath revealed unto his slave the criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.

YUSUFALI: blessed is he who sent down the criterion to his servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures;-

Verse 25:2

QARIB: to whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs, who has not taken a son, nor does he have an associate in the kingdom, and he created everything, then he ordained it very precisely.

SHAKIR: he, whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and who did not take to himself a son, and who has no associate in the kingdom, and who created everything, then ordained for it a measure

PICKTHAL: he unto whom belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, he hath chosen no son nor hath he any partner in the sovereignty. he hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.

YUSUFALI: he to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has he begotten, nor has he a partner in his dominion: it is he who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.

Verse 25:3

QARIB: yet they worship, other than him, gods which cannot create anything and were themselves created. they own neither harm nor benefit for themselves, neither do they own death nor life, nor a resurrection.

SHAKIR: and they have taken besides him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life

PICKTHAL: yet they choose beside him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.

YUSUFALI: yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection.
