    And your Lord took for the children of Adam from their backs, their progeny; and He made them witness over themselves "Am I not your Lord?" They said "Yes, we bear witness." Thus you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection that you were unaware of this.

    7173
    Nor can you say "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?"

    7174
    It is such that We explain the revelations, perhaps they will return / repent.

    4627
    And We destroyed the towns around you and We had dispatched the signs, perhaps they would return / repent.

    26208
    And We have not destroyed any town except after having warners.

    2194
    So whoever does good works and he is a believer, then his efforts will not be rejected and We will record it for him.

    It was their last chance

    2195
    And it is forbidden for a town that We destroy, that they will not return!

    6158
    Do they wait until the angels come to them, or your Lord comes, or certain signs come from your Lord? The Day certain signs come from your Lord, it will do no good for any soul to believe if it did not believe before, or it gained good through its belief. Say "Wait, for we are waiting."

    Peace Houriya

    So disbelievers will be given two chances on this earth?

    When a baby is born it may be getting 2nd chance or second life?

    If that is the case then after the second death when they are resurrected for the day of judgement that will be 3rd life?

    Sorry I am not getting your point here.

      Don't confuse brother...

      After the second death of disbelievers, there is no more coming to this world... All will be resurrected...
      Once resurrected and destined for hell it is not third life.. Hell is No life ...its suffering mere suffering a punishment and no freedom... No escape... But in real life they had freedom.. That's life... Two times life given and two times death fallen... After that only punishment...

      When a baby is born second time it is second chance to the same soul but it is life after all..

          Peace,

          Knowing that this is our second life and that we have already transgressed during our first life, it shocked me, my flesh bristled, at the same time, I am not surprised. Human beings are unjust and ignorant.

            Salam all,

            O people, serve your Lord who has created you and those before you that you may be righteous.
            The One who has made the earth a resting place, and the sky a shelter, and He sent down from the sky water with which He brought out fruits as a gift to you. So do not set up any equals with God while you know.
            And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then bring a chapter like this, and call upon your witnesses other than God if you are truthful.
            And if you cannot do this; and you will not be able to do this; then beware the Fire whose fuel is people and rocks, it has been prepared for the rejecters.
            And give good news to those who believe and do good works that they will have estates with rivers flowing beneath them. Every time they receive a provision of its fruit, they say “This is what we have been provisioned before,” and they are given its likeness. And there they will have pure mates, and in it they will abide.
            God does not shy away from putting forth the example of a mosquito, or anything above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for the rejecters, they say “What does God intend with this example?” He strays many by it, and He guides many by it; but He only strays by it the wicked.
            The ones who break the pledge to God after making its covenant, and they sever what God had ordered to be delivered, and they make corruption on the earth; these are the losers.
            How can you reject God when you were lifeless and He brought you to life? Then He makes you lifeless, then He brings you to life, then to Him you will be returned.

            ...

            O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I had bestowed upon you, and fulfill your pledge to Me that I may fulfill My pledge to you, and reverence Me alone.
            And believe in what I have sent down, affirming what is with you, and do not be the first to disbelieve in it! And do not purchase with My revelations a cheap gain, and of Me you shall be aware.

            The ones being addressed in 228 is An-Nas which started in 221. They are people in general who are being exposed to Kitab that God sent down. The logic employed when addressing them is that if they have doubt, then why they don't take the challenge etc. These An-Nas is being contrasted with Bani Israel which are addressed starting 240. Bani Israel is given Kitab (see 4516), that is why the logic employed when addressing them is different, i.e. don't be the first to disbelieve, don't exchange for small gain, etc.

            Now back to 228

            How can you reject God when you were lifeless and He brought you to life ? Then He makes you lifeless , then He brings you to life , then to Him you will be returned .

            First lifeless => completed/done (when we were nothing, we were lifeless)
            First life => completed/done (our current life)
            Second lifeless => not yet completed/to be done (we will die)
            Second life => not yet completed/to be done (we will be brought to life)

            Wassalam,
            Ade

              The question is when is the second life and second death if the first death is as follows?

              3758 "Are we then not going to die,"
              3759 "Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

              4434 These people now are saying
              4435 "There is nothing but our first death; and we will never be resurrected!"

              4456 They do not taste death therein except for the first death, and He has spared them the retribution of hell.

                Then how do we explain 4011 if the first Lifeless/dead state was not by causing death.

                4011 They will say, "Our Lord, You have made us die twice, and You have given us life twice. Now we have confessed our sins. Is there any way out of this path?"

                    Peace brother ST111

                    Verses are absolutely manifest and no need confuse over it… That’s why God orders us to explore the book… with exploration we get certain knowledge of what we not in fact needed for our salvation… That’s for knowledge and satisfaction..
                    4456 is addressed to those who live in Janna… Here God confirms they won’t taste Second death… First death of their entire life is the only death… Suppose if you are a believer accepted by God then you will definitely die one time on this earth and that is your first death and to have a death you need live life…So you experienced your death before you were resurrected and destined to live in Janna… You lived as human once that is your current life … before creation there is no life…. God confirms those in janna(true believers) only have one death and those in janna also confirms that they won’t die apart from their first death… Death is very clear according Quran.. Angels do come and take the soul and bring it to Lord.. Believers will only experience that only ONE TIME…

                    But those who ended as disbelievers on their first death after having life will have another life within this current world and die.. that’s incontrovertible… God is Most Merciful… Probably God shown mercy when they pleaded send us back that we will do righteous with what we left.. but it seems it has become a habit on every time they die…
                    Ponder the below verses..
                    2399-100 “until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back, that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

                    No believer will ever ask the above from God when death falls to them, coz if they are true believers they will find how pleasant they will be treated by angels and by what angels talk to them at the time of death they will leave happily and not beg like above.. So above verses definitely pertaining to disbelievers… But this verse seems request of those disbelievers who are about to die second time for third life… God replies it is only a word he is saying… God knows he was given two lives and not reformed.. from that moment there will be a Barrier (Barzakh) to such until the day they are resurrected..

                    In verse 4435 definitely they can’t accept the truth and adamant and denying that they will only die their current life being disbelievers and further deny the Resurrection (the final)… challenging if in case after first death there is another life then prove to us by bringing their ancestors back to life…they are in astray…total astray…

                    To Summarize…
                    Believers Life + Death + Life (life of Janna) … No death.. but perish when earth and heaven perish.. to nothing
                    Disbelievers Life+ Death + life + Death + Punishment (Jahanna..not living there and not dying) … but perish when earth and heavens perish or God’s will … to nothing..

                    Since God and the people of blessed Janna confirmed that They won’t taste the death apart from their first death, it is much evident that those who were given two lives and two deaths never enter Janna… Two lives and two deaths not taught them anything and never reformed..

                      you do not know if the people in paradise will perish and be reduced to nothing

                      you have also not completed the verse (surah 11, verse 10

                      As for those who are glad, they will be in paradise; abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth exist, except for what your Lord wishes, a giving without end/uninterrupted (please verify the arabic text)

                      also, given the people of paradise will only experience the first death, my understanding is that they will not experience a second death and so The God perhaps permits them to be eternally in paradise

                      the counter argument though is in surah 28 verse 88

                      Do not worship anything besides God. He is the only God. Everything will be destroyed except God. To Him belongs Judgment and to Him you will all return.

                      i do not know if The God is telling us that all will perish in this life or in general He will remove everything from existence and bring the next life to an end
                      but as after we are told that everything wil be destroyed then The God mentions judgement belongs to Him and that we will return to Him, i understand the sequence of events that everything will perish in this life and we will return to Him (maybe i am wrong)

                      i do not agree with you regarding your interpretation of surah 57, verse 3

                      i understand that
                      The God is THE Eternal
                      He who has no beginning and no end
                      He is the Truth, The One
                      He is the Creator of existence
                      The Owner of existence
                      alllll glory is to Him

                        Dear TF..
                        I have given my explanation about Jahanna and Janna.. wish you read correctly what I wrote by not missing… for both time span is identical as long as Earth and Heavens last… But No one knows the WILL of God which is an additional phrase in the verse… But promises of God everyone knows.. He won’t break His promise… God can do better for those in Hell by His Will.. God won’t punish them beyond what is promised… that is not breaking promise… that’s Mercy… But God cannot take away anything what is promised for those in Janna… If God said as long as Earth and heavens last, then it should be accomplished, that is keeping the promise… What happens after Earth and Heavens perished is within God’s will.. That we don’t know.. But nothing is like God and nothing can last like God… There is no promise of creating the third earth and heavens and make us live on it and on and on…. No.. We are creature and bound to extinct / nonexistent at certain time when God will or as He promised… We are not First and we are not Last… Can’t expect to have the qualities of God for Human or any of His creature…

                        i do not agree with you regarding your interpretation of surah 57, verse 3

                        i understand that
                        The God is THE Eternal
                        He who has no beginning and no end

                        The Owner of existence
                        alllll glory is to Him

                        peace

                        It is absolutely fine what you understand about God… But my understanding remain with me… And what I understood about God differs to you in relation to verse 5703…
                        2888 is within context… It never used the Word GOD but His Wajha..That You try to find meaning and open a new topic…or if you already know explain if you wish…
                        2888 When everything is perished There is No Lord, No Creator, No Mercy, No Mighty…. Nothing is meaningful…. Unless He repeats what He did… Once He established in His Arsh He became Rabb Al Alamin… Alamin is over… No Rabb…. He cannot call He is God without a single living creature of His… He is empty then…. He created well before Jinns and assigned malaika so He has authority over them… Then later created the Earth and heavens and placed all living creature and more authority.. Rabb ala alamin…. But when nothing All His attributes are nothing…
                        For me God is not Eternal
                        He has No beginning and No End is nowhere God indicated for us to claim it so…
                        Rest is okay and agree..

                        5703 He is FIRST (Awwal) He never said He has No Beginning but instead said He is First…He is Last (Akhir) He never said Has No End but instead said He is Last… Don’t take these two words metaphor… But they are literal…
                        First means nothing before…. No. 01… nothing before it…then came the creations…. Then ends of creations… Then literally He becomes Last….

                          in the verse about hell The God says “EXCEPT as your Lord wishes” .. so hell does not necessarily exist as long as the heavens and earth exist... but perhaps The God will make hell perish but keep the heavens and earth and as such perhaps paradise still in existence

                          in the verse about paradise The God says “a giving uninterrupted/without end” (please verify the arabic original)

                          The God tells us those in paradise will only experience the first death so my understanding is that they will not die or vanish or perish (or whatever synonym you wish to choose) after the first death... however if The God wants everything to perish then He does whatever He wants (He is the Truth and He told us those in paradise experience only the first death so i understand no second death or vanishing to those in paradise)

                          in any case He is the Eternal who has always been and will always be

                          The God says He IS the First and the Last and NOT He WAS the First and WILL BE the Last

                          He IS the first meaning nothing preceded Him as He was always, there is nothing before Him - He has always been

                          and He IS the last as He will always be, there is nothing after Him ... there is The God and there will always be just The God

                          very big diffrence between “He IS the First and the Last” and “He WAS the first and WILL BE the last”

                          peace

                            peace

                            Thank you for your response..
                            I think still you didn't go through what I wrote ... Uninterrupted.. Yes.. But within system...
                            Dude I am repeating.. God's Will and God's Promise entirely two different things.. He is not a promise breaker.. But He can be a promise breaker on His mercy.. Janna is a pleasant place.. Cannot break promise.. But He can give more than what He promised.. That's His will..
                            Jahanna is unpleasant place.. He can show His mercy by His will.. Will those who in hell when shown mercy by God say God broke promise.. No.. They will be happy.. And those in Janna also will be happy if people of Jahanna are shown mercy by God...
                            Again repeat.. What God wills no one will know.. No point of digging it..

                            Next point God is Eternal?... No God is Not Eternal... He may be eternal that we don't know and never will know .. Coz we not existed before Him and we won't exist after Him.. For us God starts once we are created by Him.. We only will Know things as long as we live..
                            Who is God? Who gave this word God to His living being.. Why? What is God? Note specially for whome He is God? God is God when His creations do exist ..

                            He was First or will be last won't make any difference... I have repeated in this thread saying No-one before Him.. And No-one after Him.. And you repeat again..
                            Just take the meaning of First(Awwal).. When we start to say no one before or nothing before it literally means that's the beginning of all beginning...(for example. No-one ever landed on this island.. First is Me.. Call it I am / I was / I will be First.. First is me.. It won't change) Last is also same.. Keep it in any tense First and Last meaning won't change...

                            God taught us He is God.. Lord of alamin.. Creator of everything.. Arrahman arraheem.. Whatever it is... Just try to grasp on your own pls.. Can't elaborate it...
                            Can He call Himself He is the Mighty powerful and knower of everything etc etc.. When there is nothing, calling knower of everything or mighty powerful is totally meaningless.. before He execute/create them no God ...simple language before executing anything He was not God.. Cannot claim so... To whom He will say that I am Mighty and Most merciful... Can He claim before create anything I am the Lord of Aalamin... Literally God taught to His creations everything what He taught and made them to call Him God coz of what He created and deservedly so and with full authority coz no one can create snd no one will.. ..
                            So dear God is not Eternal... But He exists living and standing... But He is not God when He reaches to LAST.. .. when there is no connection with Him and His creations there is No God..
                            No god but God.. La ilaha illallah.. ..is no more valid.. He may exist like He existed even before all creations But Not God... Coz No one is there to call Him God.. No one for Him to claim authority over them..

                              you have no knowledge of what you are saying about The God, and you are merely guessing and you are guessing wrong

                              and i frankly think that what you are saying is completely misguiding and very very wrong and should definitely not be said

                              The God is the Eternal
                              He who has always been and will always be

                              you are also guessing about paradise and hell
                              Only The God knows

                              peace

                                Peace...

                                I have knowledge of what I am saying.. You are no one to say againat it.. Are you? Unless you bring verses.. There is big difference between guessing and understanding...

                                Whatever I have furnished is with Quran verses and my understanding based on that..

                                If you don't get them it's fine.. You will live always with your understanding even it takes you to Janna or Jahanna... That's human... Behind all true understanding God is present...
                                You have come to a point now to blame me not debate.. Be in debate or leave that's your choice but no point only having to feel you are right and blame others since you are not satisfied ... In debate we go opposite side.. Thats common.. presenting what we undertood is the platform for hunting truth... Make use this forum.. You don't know my intention that God knows.. So no worries...

                                But I don't blame you coz I know it hurts when one speaks against his belief regardless of intention ...

                                Be positive.. Take example of brother Ayman.. He presents his understanding not guessing (fantasy lol) about Jinn.. I deny with verses and most others too.. Coz what understood is different to what he has understood.. Presenting to hunt truth... No need to blame like not to present understanding.. Anyone can leave or be silent... But... Debate is always good in search of truth... We open new vistas that we also not known before... No grudges okay.. God guides.. Not what I write or what you write here.. How God guides he only knows...

                                For me God(real meaning) will never be Eternal if we are all to perish...

                                  Peace everyone...

                                  Ask yourself if you wish..

                                  Do you know anything before you were created? Do you know about God before you were created?
                                  Were you not of nothing of state before you were created?
                                  When did you know God and How?
                                  If what God promises is true will we not see him after resurrected...?
                                  Do we belong to the category of First or Last?
                                  If we are not last, won't we go back to nothing?

                                  Don't we have Quran verses to ponder for above questions?

                                  So when we go to nothing, Do we know anything?
                                  How do we know God is eternal when we are nothing?
                                  Or as TF claims we won't die so we live as long as God is around? Does it befit to human who were nothing and came into being while the creator of us only belongs to the quality of Last?

                                  Did God ever say He is the Eternal God to eternal Creatures?

                                  Finally what is God/Allah? I reply.. God is The Representation for His Creations.. Or Master/Lord of all created things.. That representation or Lord will become nothing if His creations go to nothing by His will.. The moment last of His creation be terminated then He literally the Last.. Once He is the Last literally there is no chance of anything to come again... That's more worthy to ponder..He assigned to Himself status of God/Lord through what He created...
                                  God/Allah is a proper noun in my total understanding... So God is a status as long as He is willing to be God...that He assigned Himself the moment He commenced Creation.. So God is not Eternal.. He (the physic) is eternal or not no one will know.. Coz we are not last.. For example Mother.. One becomes mother when she delivers a child.. If all children died she is not literally mother but old women.. No one of her biological child remains to call her mother..

                                  Can anyone kindly give the meaning of First and Last in verse 5703 within your understanding if you are opposite to what I have written above ?

                                    Peace Jkhan,

                                    I agree, in the reading, the word ethernel/khalid is not used for God. He uses the verb yabqa / remain or abqa.

                                    2073 "We have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our wrongdoings, and what you had forced us into doing of magic; and God is better and lasting / abqa."

                                    When a member of the forum judges you, the best way to respond is to ignore it.
                                    The ego is always right and wants to have the last word.

                                    No one is wrong, no one is right, we are in this forum to share our understanding of reading while respecting the opinions of others.
                                    We don't tell someone you derail from reading

                                    God is the best of judges

                                    From this thread
                                    https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9611102.0

                                    He is the first / al-awwal and the last / alakhir

                                    2870 And He is God, there is no god except He. To Him belongs all praise in the first / al-oola and in the last / al-akhira , and judgment belongs with Him, and to Him you will be returned.

                                    Wherever we turn, there is the face of God.

                                    5526 Everyone upon it will fade away.
                                    5527 And the face of your Lord will remain/yabqa; One with Majesty and
                                    Honor.

                                    Only God exists, we will be returned to him, the source, the first and the last.

                                    2888 And do not call besides God any god, there is no god except He. Everything will fade away except His face. To Him is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.

                                    Peace

                                    Peace everyone...

                                    Ask yourself if you wish..

                                    Do you know anything before you were created? Do you know about God before you were created?

                                    When did you know God and How?
                                    If what God promises is true will we not see him after resurrected...?
                                    Do we belong to the category of First or Last?
                                    If we are not last, won't we go back to nothing?

                                    Don't we have Quran verses to ponder for above questions?

                                    So when we go to nothing, Do we know anything?
                                    How do we know God is eternal when we are nothing?
                                    Or as TF claims we won't die so we live as long as God is around? Does it befit to human who were nothing and came into being while the creator of us only belongs to the quality of Last?

                                    Did God ever say He is the Eternal God to eternal Creatures?

                                    Finally what is God/Allah? I reply.. God is The Representation for His Creations.. Or Master/Lord of all created things.. That representation or Lord will become nothing if His creations go to nothing by His will.. The moment last of His creation be terminated then He literally the Last.. Once He is the Last literally there is no chance of anything to come again... That's more worthy to ponder..He assigned to Himself status of God/Lord through what He created...
                                    God/Allah is a proper noun in my total understanding... So God is a status as long as He is willing to be God...that He assigned Himself the moment He commenced Creation.. So God is not Eternal.. He (the physic) is eternal or not no one will know.. Coz we are not last.. For example Mother.. One becomes mother when she delivers a child.. If all children died she is not literally mother but old women.. No one of her biological child remains to call her mother..

                                    Can anyone kindly give the meaning of First and Last in verse 5703 within your understanding if you are opposite to what I have written above ?

                                      Peace Jkhan,

                                      I agree, in the reading, the word ethernel/khalid is not used for God. He uses the verb yabqa / remain or abqa.

                                      2073 "We have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our wrongdoings, and what you had forced us into doing of magic; and God is better and lasting / abqa."

                                      When a member of the forum judges you, the best way to respond is to ignore it.
                                      The ego is always right and wants to have the last word.

                                      No one is wrong, no one is right, we are in this forum to share our understanding of reading while respecting the opinions of others.
                                      We don't tell someone you derail from reading

                                      God is the best of judges

                                      From this thread
                                      https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9611102.0

                                      Peace

                                      Thanks for your kind words and advice.. I welcome it..

                                      No no.. I don't blame him... It's part of debate and nothing personal with him.. He is good... ... Even the words used "derailed" it's all for the sake of debate while I am on the opposite side..
                                      No personal attacks... I am no where near to the knowledge of brother Ayman.. But for the sake of debate i use certain words.. But purpose of debate is to extract the truth to the top and exposed in a concerted manner.. Thatse debate.. Not an mere article ... So in the end the debators and the silent readers also would get certain grip on the truth when they verify...
                                      What I leaned through this forum and my debate is incredible and invaluable... I am here to develop my soul with truth... So I am benefited so far I presume ...

                                      Some have patience and some don't.. See the patience of brother Ayman... He answers each every thread.. Lol.. Patience key in life and even debate..

                                      Pls don't respond to this thread of mine anyone.. Let the topic go ahead in its own ..

                                        Yes abqa is used but it never gives the meaning of Eternal either.. Lasting.. Yes okay.. Hope you compared the other occurences

                                        Peace..

                                          To debate in good conditions, we avoid judging, making fun ... etc
                                          I intervened because this member has done the same thing to me on several occasions, he continues to do so.

                                          For information, some members of the forum have stopped participating in the discussions due to the aggressive attitude of some without knowledge or science.

                                          No one has the absolute truth.

                                          Peace
