Author: Safaa Abdel-Aziz  | Posted: 20-03-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 13 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
---------------
In verses 55:60-61 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: shall the recompense of goodness be anything other than goodness? It is very logic that the reward for good is good and for evil is evil. Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny? Which favors of your lord will you belie? If you count the favors of Allah, you could not number them. Indeed, Allah is forgiving and the most merciful
---------------
Verses 55:60-61 of the Noble Quran give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of the verses 55:60-61
Verse 55:60 says:
Is the reward of goodness aught save goodness?
Is the reward of goodness, manifested through obedience, anything but goodness?
Is the reward of he whom Allah has blessed with the profession of Allah's divine Oneness anything but the Garden?
Verse 55:61 says:
So which of your Lord’s favors will you deny?
Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?
This question is repeated 31 times in Surah 55; such repetitions indicate the utmost importance of this question.
Can anyone answer this question?
However, the Quran gives you the answer of this important question in verses 14:34 and 16:18; they say:
If you count the favors of Allah, you could not number them.
Verily, this is because man is wicked, thankless, very unjust, very ungrateful, a wrong-doer, an ingrate and is given up to injustice and ingratitude.
However, Allah is oft-forgiving, and the most merciful.
Remember that!

By: Nawaz | 11/10/2008
