The Shadow in the Quran:
Two Historical Shadows
The Quran mentions two important Historical Shadows; one of them is the Shadow for Moses and the Israelites and the other is the Shadow for The people of the Prophet "Shu'aib" and their grievous day of punishment.
These two events are not found in the Bible.
The Shadow for Moses and the Israelites
Israelites
Surah 28:24
So he (Moses) watered (their flock) for them. then he turned aside into the shade, and said: my lord! i am needy of whatever good thou sendest down for me.
Surah 7:160
We divided them into twelve tribes, nations; and we inspired Moses, when his people asked him for water, saying: smite with thy staff the rock! and there gushed forth therefrom twelve springs, so that each tribe knew their drinking-place. and we caused the white cloud to overshadow them and sent down for them the manna and the quails (saying): eat of the good things wherewith we have provided you. they wronged us not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.
Surah 7:171
and when we shook the mountain over them as if it were a covering overhead, and they thought that it was going to fall down upon them: take hold of what we have given you with firmness, and be mindful of what is in it, so that you may guard (against evil)
Surah 2:57
And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own selves.
The Shadow furnished for people of the Prophet "Shu'aib" who denied him and their grievous day of punishment. The Prophet "Shu'aib" is never mentioned in the Bible. Is that because He was Arabic?
Surah 26:189
But they rejected and denied him (Shu'aib) and called him a liar (Shu'aib) then the punishment of the day of overshadowing gloom seized them, surely it was the punishment of a grievous day
Some facts about the Shadow:
Allah extends the shade; if He pleases He would certainly have made it stationary and then have made the sun an indication of it. Scientifically speaking, the shade will be stationary when the Earth stops its circular movement about itself. In such case, half of the Earth will be day and the other will be night.
So, the sun is the indicator for such event. Who could do that? It is Allah the Creator of the Sun.
Surah 25:45
Have you not considered (the work of) your lord, how he extends the shade? And if he had pleased he would certainly have made it stationary; then we have made the sun an indication of it
All things that Allah has created have their shadows and prostrate unto Him.
Surah 16:48
Have they not observed all things that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?
Surah 16:81
it is Allah who made out of the things he created, some things to give you shade; of the hills he made some for your shelter; he made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. thus does he complete his favors on you, that ye may bow to his will (in Islam).
Surah 35:21
19 and the blind and the seeing are not alike
20 nor the darkness and the light,
21 nor is the shadow equal with the sun's full heat;
The Shadow at the Day of Judgment
At that horrible day, everything is already judged in justice.
Man is one of two, believer or unbeliever; each one has his own Shadow.
The Coming of Allah:
Surah 2:210
Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels? Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgment).
The Shadow for those who believe; this meaning is not mentioned in the Bible.
Surah 4:57
And as for those who believe and do good works, we shall make them enter gardens underneath which rivers flow - to dwell therein for ever; there for them are pure companions - and we shall make them enter plenteous shadow.
Surah 36:56
They and their associates will be in a pleasant shadow, reclining on thrones (of dignity);
Surah 76:14
And the shades of the (garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility (being easy to reach).
Surah 56:30
In shade long-extended,
Surah 77:41
as to the righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
The Shadow for those who do not believe; this implication is not cited in the Bible
Surah 56:43
And the shade of black smoke
Surah 77: 28-31
28 ah woe, that day, to the rejecters of truth!
29 (it will be said :) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
30 "depart ye to a shadow (of smoke ascending) in three branches,
31 "(which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce blaze.
32 indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as palaces,
Surah 56:43
And the shade of black smoke
The following verse summarizes the Shadow for the believers and the unbelievers.
Surah 13:35
a likeness of the garden which the righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is the fire
