O Nations, Come near, to hear and Listen in Bible versus Quran (2)
This is the second article of the series (1-3):" O Nations, Come near, to hear and Listen in Bible versus Quran".
Herein are the statements that the Lord God Love wants all the nations to hear and to listen to.
In the Bible (Isaiah 34:6-11), the Lord God Love says that:
The LORD' sword is bathed in blood,
The LORD' sword is covered with fat
The LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah and
The LORD has a great slaughter in Edom.
Edom's land will be drenched with blood,
Edom's dust will be soaked with fat.
The LORD has a day of vengeance
The LORD has a year of retribution
In addition, Lord God Love gives some prophecies about Edom, they are:
Edom's streams will be turned into pitch,
Edom's dust into burning sulfur;
Edom's land will become blazing pitch that will not be quenched night and day; its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation Edom's land will lie desolate; no one will ever pass through it again.
It is well known that none of these God's prophecies about Edom happened; and many people are still dwelling in Edom's land.
On the other hand, these are the statements that Allah wants all the nations to hear and to listen to
Allah said: O mankind! We have created you male and female from Adam and Eve, and Allah has made you nations and tribes that you may know one another; to communicate and cooperate. Lo! The noblest of you in the Hereafter, (in the sight of Allah; on the Day of Judgment, (is the best in conduct) in the life of the world.
Lo! Allah is Knower of your status and lineage, He is the Aware of your works and standing in His sight; Aware, of your inner thoughts.
In addition, Allah has no sword, He does not need a sword; He can do anything and everything whatever, wherever and whenever He wants without the need of a sword.
In addition, there is no Edom in the Noble Quran.

Isaiah 34:6-11
New International Version
6 The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood, it is covered with fat— the blood of lambs and goats, fat from the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in Edom.
7 And the wild oxen will fall with them, the bull calves and the great bulls. Their land will be drenched with blood, and the dust will be soaked with fat.
8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of retribution, to uphold Zion's cause.
9 Edom's streams will be turned into pitch, her dust into burning sulfur; her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched night and day; its smoke will rise forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl and screech owl will possess it; the great owl and the raven will nest there. God will stretch out over Edom the measuring line of chaos and the plumb line of desolation.
New American Standard Bible
6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7Wild oxen will also fall with them And young bulls with strong ones; Thus their land will be soaked with blood, And their dust become greasy with fat.
8For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9Its streams will be turned into pitch, And its loose earth into brimstone, And its land will become burning pitch.
10It will not be quenched night or day; Its smoke will go up forever From generation to generation it will be desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever.
11But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, And owl and raven will dwell in it; And He will stretch over it the line of desolation And the plumb line of emptiness.
English Standard Version
6The LORD has a sword; it is sated with blood; it is gorged with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall drink its fill of blood, and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into sulfur; her land shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it, the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it and the plumb line of emptiness.
King James Version
6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

O Nations, Come near, to hear; and Listen in the Quran (2)
Verse 49:13
QARIB:
People, we have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you might know one another. the noblest of you before Allah is the most righteous of you. Allah is the knower, the aware.
SHAKIR:
O you men! surely we have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is knowing, aware
PICKTHAL:
O mankind! lo! we have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. lo! Allah is knower, aware.
YUSUFALI:
O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things(.
The meaning of the verse:
It is said that this verse was revealed about Bilal, the muezzin of the Prophet.
The muezzin is the one who calls to prayers.
The call to prayer occurs five times a day.
Bilal was a black man; his faith was very strong and the Prophet Mohammad liked him very much and gave him the opportunity and the honor to be the muezzin of the Prophet.
When Bilal gave the call to prayer in Mecca after its conquest, a group of men said: “Did Allah and His Messenger not find anyone to call to prayer except this raven”.
In response, Allah said: (O mankind! We have created you male and female) from Adam and Eve, (and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you) in the Hereafter, (in the sight of Allah) on the Day of Judgment, (is the best in conduct) in the life of the world; which in this case is Bilal.
Lo! Allah is Knower of your status and lineage, He is the Aware of your works and standing in His sight; Aware, of your inner thoughts.
This was the message that the Quran wants the mankind and the nation to know and to hear.
This verse was the Key-stone that banned racism, color discrimination and any other form of discrimination.
Once Verse 49:13 has been revealed, All Muslims banned any other form of human discrimination.
