O Nations, Come near, to hear and Listen in Bible versus Quran (1)

O Nations, Come near, to hear and Listen in Bible versus Quran (1)

 

In the Bible (Isaiah 34:1-6), In His Wrath against Nations and on His Judgment on the Nations, the Lord God Love:

1) He is angry with all nations

2) His wrath is upon the armies of all nations

3) He will totally destroy the armies of all nations

4) He will give the armies of all nations over to slaughter.

 

The Lord God Love says:

1) The slain of all nations will be thrown out.

2) The dead bodies of all nations will send up a stench.

3) The mountains will be soaked with the blood of all nations.

4) The stars of the heavens will be dissolved.

5) The sky rolled up like a scroll.

6) The starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine.

7) The starry host will fall like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens.

9) My sword descends in judgment on Edom.

 

In the Quran, Allah said: O mankind!  We have created you male and female from Adam and Eve, and Allah has made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you in the Hereafter, (in the sight of Allah; on the Day of Judgment, (is the best in conduct) in the life of the world.

Lo! Allah is Knower of your status and lineage, He is the Aware of your works and standing in His sight; Aware, of your inner thoughts.

In addition, Allah has no sword, He does not need a sword; He can do anything and everything whatever, wherever and whenever He wants without the need of a sword.

O Nations, Come near, to hear; and Listen in the Bible (1)

 

Isaiah 34:1-6

 

New International Version

1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples!  Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it!

2 The LORD is angry with all nations; his wrath is upon all their armies. He will totally destroy them, he will give them over to slaughter.

3 Their slain will be thrown out, their dead bodies will send up a stench; the mountains will be soaked with their blood.

4 All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved and the sky rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

5 My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; see, it descends in judgment on Edom, the people I have totally destroyed.

 

New American Standard Bible

1Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples! Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

2For the LORD'S indignation is against all the nations, And His wrath against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to slaughter.

3So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.

4And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.

5For My sword is satiated in heaven, Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom And upon the people whom I have devoted to destruction.

 

English Standard Version

1Draw near, O nations, to hear, and give attention, O peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it; the world, and all that comes from it.

2For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their host; he has devoted them to destruction, has given them over for slaughter.

3Their slain shall be cast out, and the stench of their corpses shall rise; the mountains shall flow with their blood.

4 All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.

5For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.

 

King James Version

1Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

2For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

O Nations, Come near, to hear; and Listen in the Quran (1)

 

Verse 49:13

 

QARIB:

People, we have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you might know one another. the noblest of you before Allah is the most righteous of you. Allah is the knower, the aware.

SHAKIR:

O you men! surely we have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is knowing, aware

PICKTHAL:

O mankind! lo! we have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. lo! Allah is knower, aware.

YUSUFALI:

O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things(.

 

The meaning of the verse:

 

It is said that this verse was revealed about Bilal, the muezzin of the Prophet.

The muezzin is the one who calls to prayers.

The call to prayer occurs five times a day.

Bilal was a black man; his faith was very strong and the Prophet Mohammad liked him very much and gave him the opportunity and the honor to be the muezzin of the Prophet.

When Bilal gave the call to prayer in Mecca after its conquest, a group of men said: “Did Allah and His Messenger not find anyone to call to prayer except this raven”.

In response, Allah said: (O mankind!  We have created you male and female) from Adam and Eve, (and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you) in the Hereafter, (in the sight of Allah) on the Day of Judgment, (is the best in conduct) in the life of the world; which in this case is Bilal.

Lo! Allah is Knower of your status and lineage, He is the Aware of your works and standing in His sight; Aware, of your inner thoughts.

This was the message that the Quran wants the mankind and the nation to know and to hear.

This verse was the Key-stone that banned racism, color discrimination and any other form of discrimination.
