Allah is Asking you This Question (4) Who Makes you Die and Gives you Life Again?
Author: Safaa Abdel-Aziz  | Posted: 22-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 26 | 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. The answers for these questions may adjust and amend our way in this life and may change some of our ideas.
Allah' questions are many.
In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
The question in this article is:
"It is Allah who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your (false) "Partners" who can do any single one of these things?
----------------------------------------------------
Verses 30:40- 42 give the question of this article and talk about it
Verse 30:40 says:
Allah is He Who created you as living beings in the wombs of your mothers and then He made you emerge from there possessed of a spirit and then sustained you; provided you with sustenance until you die, then He makes you die, when your lifespan expires, He will give life to you again for the resurrection after you die.
Is there anyone among your associates, of those whom you have associated with God, who does anything of these things?
Is there any one other than Allah who is able to do any of this?
Praise Allah; He exonerated Himself from having a son or partners
and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him) of idols!
Verse 30:41 says:
Corruption has appeared on land, in the wastelands, because of the rain being withheld and the vegetation diminishing, and on sea, in lands near rivers because of their waters diminishing, because of what people’s hands have perpetrated, of acts of disobedience,
It is also said that this means: corruption has appeared through the death of cattle, drought, lack of food and vegetation in the plains, mountains, countryside and wilderness as well as in townships and cities because of the transgressions committed by people,
That Allah may make them taste, that He may make them be seized by a part of that which they have done of transgressions, in order that they may return, in order that they may repent of their sins and thus be relieved.
Verse 30:42 says:
Say O Muhammad: Travel in the land and see and reflect upon the nature of the consequence for, the retribution of those who were before you; how Allah destroyed them when they denied their messengers! Most of them were disbelievers, idolaters and they associated partners with Allah; and their dwellings and habitations lie [desolate] in ruin.
----------------------------------------------------
Verses 30:40- 42 in different translations:
Verse 30:40
QARIB:
It is Allah who has created you and given you your provision. he will cause you to die, and will then revive you. can any of your associates do any of that? exalted is he above what they associate.
SHAKIR:
Allah is he who created you, then gave you sustenance, then he causes you to die, then brings you to life. is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of it? glory be to him, and exalted be he above what they associate (with him)
PICKTHAL:
Allah is he who created you and then sustained you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again. is there any of your (so-called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that? praised and exalted be he above what they associate (with him)!
YUSUFALI:
It is Allah who has created you: further, he has provided for your sustenance; then he will cause you to die; and again he will give you life. are there any of your (false) "partners" who can do any single one of these things? glory to him! and high is he above the partners they attribute (to him)!
Verse 30:41
QARIB:
Corruption has appeared on land and sea with what the hands of the people earned. therefore, they taste some of what they did in order that they return.
SHAKIR:
Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that he may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return
PICKTHAL:
Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of (the evil) which men's hands have done, that he may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return.
YUSUFALI:
Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from evil).
Verse 30:42
QARIB:
Say: 'journey in the land and see what was the end of those who were before you. most of them were idolaters. '
SHAKIR:
Say: travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before; most of them were polytheists
PICKTHAL:
Say (o Muhammad, to the disbelievers): travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! most of them were idolaters.
YUSUFALI:
Say: "travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): most of them worshipped others besides Allah."
