وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِنْ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ...

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِنْ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ(( 87 )) 87- AND VERILY WE HAVE GIVEN YOU, THE SEVEN (VERSES OF THE OPENING CHAPTER) FOR REITERATION, AND THE GREAT QURA"N. لاَ تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجاً مِّنْهُمْ وَلاَ تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (( 88 )) 88- DO NOT STRAIN YOUR EYES TO WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN TO SOME COUPLES OF THEM TO ENJOY. AND GRIEVE NOT OVER THEM, (ON THAT ACCOUNT).

AND LOWER YOUR WING FOR THE BELIEVERS. وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ(( 89 )) 89- AND SAY; ``I AM A PERSPICUOUS WARNER.'' [ 428 ] كَمَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ(( 90 )) 90- LIKE WHAT WE SENT DOWN UPON THE SCHISMATICS. (THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO PRODUCE DIVISION IN RELIGION) الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ(( 91 )) 91- THOSE WHO BROKE QURA"N INTO PIECES.

(ACCORDING TO THEIR FANCIES, BELIEVING IN SOME VERSES AN DISBELIEVING IN SOME OTHER) THE COMMENTARY THE SCHISMATICS (VERSE NO. 85 - 91) Once again the argument returns to the Source and Destination, which is having faith in the Monotheism and Resurrection, and Final Judgement.

In order to prove His oneness, He presents the creation as a reasoned approach to the matter, because God's plan, justice, and rightful purpose, can be seen in every creature and in the whole creation:ِ ``And We created not the heavens, and the earth and whatever is between them, except in truth and with a rightful purpose; and that the hour of judgement will surely come to pass.'' God's creation, whatever you think it might be, is created for a right and just purpose.

Everything is created as it should have been created, and in the most proper way. Therefore, no one should think that anything is wrong in God's creation, or it is without an account, or void of an aim. There is aim, there is plan, and there is right and justice, in anything that is created by God; and all of these are proofs that the Creator of all is one.

Another point to note is that the great universe is not created in vain, or to do for the few days of our short life here, which is full of troubles, sins, oppressions, and discomfort. There is an eternal and [ 429 ] good time coming in which justice-goodness, and truth will prevail. To this effect the ending of the verse, (NO.85) bids the prophet to overlook their faults with kindness and forgiving or bear and forbear and be sure that there is an appropriate reaction for every action.
