Author: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil   | Posted: 13-06-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 12 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
 Before dealing with the topic of the PLAY in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. The PLAY is mentioned 45 times in the Bible (KJV) and 19 times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the PLAY more than two times as does the Quran. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and more than twice (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the PLAY.
In this series, the topic of the Play is classified into six parts, herein is the first part, that is Does the Lord play?
Does the Lord play? In the Bible:
The Lord said that the backsliding Israel, played the harlot
Jeremiah 3:6
The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
Hosea 4:15
Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The Lord liveth.

1 Chronicles 15:29
And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
Let the Lord command to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on a harp in order to calm down the evil spirit from the Lord.
1 Samuel 16:16

Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.
The Lord does that which seemeth him good.

Does the Lord play? In the Quran:
Allah created the heavens and the earth (and us) NOT in PLAY!
Surah: 21, Verse: 16
It was not in play that We created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them.
Surah: 44, Verse: 38
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.
It is the People who are playing even when listening to their Lord's message(s).
Surah: 21, Verse: 2
there comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord, except that they play with it as they listen
Herein is an example of a conversation between a Messenger and his people:
Surah: 21, Verse: 55-56
55] They said: 'Is it the truth you have brought us, or are you one of those that play? '
56] 'no, ' he answered, 'your lord is the lord of the heavens and the earth, the originator of them, and i am among those bearing witness to it.
Herein is a question from Allah to whom who it may concern:
Surah: 23, Verse: 115
Did you think that We had created you only for play, and that you would never be returned to Us? '
Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 71); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "?
