Surah Al-Isra 

verses 85-87:

They ask you about the Spirit.
Say: "The Spirit is of my Lord's command, and of knowledge you have been given but little."
And if We willed We could certainly take away that which We have revealed to you;
then you should find none to plead with Us on your behalf.
(All that you have received) is nothing but grace from your Lord.
Indeed his favor to you is great. 

verses 94-95:

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent a human messenger?"
Say, "Had angels settled on the Earth and moved about in peace, We would certainly have sent an angel as a Messenger to them." 

Light

God is the light
of the heavens and the earth.
The Simile of God's light
is like a niche in which is a lamp,
the lamp in a globe of glass,
the globe of glass as if it were a shining star,
lit from a blessed olive tree
neither of the East nor of the West,
its light nearly luminous
even if fire did not touch it.
Light upon light!
God guides to this light
whomever God will:
and God gives people examples;
and God knows all things.

Surah Al-Noor: verse 35

Yuppie Athletics

Adrenaline rushing at the start, Decked out with nike shoes, SmartWool socks, and a moisture wicking jersey. GPS location and heart beat monitoring watch strapped on. Game face on, talking big like you're a pro - lined up at the neighborhood 5k between a 70 year old women donning a gardening hat and her ten year old grandson reppin' his elementary school shirt. 

"Every soul will taste of death, ..., And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."

2 : 185

"All that is on Earth will perish, And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor"     

55 : 26-27 

Ya-seen

Peace:
A word from a Merciful Lord

(36:58) 

Has Man not seen that We
have created him from a drop?
Yet there he is, an open disputer!

And he makes similes for Us,
forgetting his own origin:
he says, "Who can enliven rotten bones?

(36:77-78)
