21:79 - To Solomon We inspired the (right) understanding of the matter: to each (of them) We gave
Judgment and Knowledge; it was Our power that made the hills and the birds celebrate Our
praises with David: it was We Who did (these things). 27322733
2732 The sheep, on account of the negligence of the shepherd, got into a cultivated field (or vineyard) by night and ate up
the young plants or their tender shoots, causing damage, to the extent of perhaps a whole year's crop. David was
king, and in his seat of judgment he considered the matter so serious that he awarded the owner of the field the sheep
themselves in compensation for his damage. The Roman law of the Twelve Tables might have approved of this
decision, and on the same principle was built up the Deodand doctrine of English Law, now obsolete. His son
Solomon, a mere boy of eleven, thought of a better decision, where the penalty would better fit the offence. The loss
was the loss of the fruits or produce of the field of vineyard: the corpus of the property was not lost. Solomon's
suggestion was that the owner of the field or vineyard should not take the sheep altogether but only detain them long
enough to recoup his actual damage, from the milk, wool, and possibly young of the sheep, and then retum the sheep
to the shepherd. David's merit was that he accepted the suggestion, even though it came from a little boy: Solomon's
merit was that he distinguished between corpus and income, and though a boy, was not ashamed to put his case
before his father. But in either case it was Allah Who inspired the true realisation of justice. He was present and
witnessed the affair, as He is present all the time. (21.79)
2733 Whatever is in the heavens and the earth celebrates the praises of Allah: xvii. 44; Ivii. 1; xvi. 48-50. Even the "thunder
repeateth His praises": xiii. 13. All nature ever sings the praises of Allah. David sang in his Psalms, cxlviii. 7-10:
"Praise the Lord from the earth, ye ... mountains and all hills; ... creeping things and flying fowl!" All nature sings to
Allah's glory, in unison with David, and angels, and men of God. Cf. xxxiv. 10 and xxxviii. 18-19. (21.79)
34:22 - Say: "Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy besides Allah: they have no power not the
weight of an atom in the heavens or on earth; no (sort of) share have they therein nor is any of
them a helper to Allah. 38223823
3822 Other objects of worship, such as Self, or Money, or Power, or things we imagine will bring us luck or prosperity,
though they can do nothing of the kind. (34.22)
3823 The false gods have no power whatever either in heaven or on earth, either in influencing our spiritual life or our
ordinary worldly life. To suppose that they have some share, or that they can give some help to Allah, even though
Allah is Supreme, is both false and blasphemous. Allah is One and Supreme, without sharer, helper, or equal. (34.22)
35:1 - Praise be to Allah Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth Who made the
angels messengers with wings two or three or four (Pairs): He adds to Creation as He
pleases: for Allah has power over all things. 3869387038713872
35:2 -What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow on mankind there is none can withhold: what He
doth withhold there is none can grant apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power Full of
Wisdom. 3873
35:10 - If any do seek for glory and power to Allah belong all glory and power. To Him mount up
(all) Words of Purity: it is He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness. Those that lay Plots of
Evil for them is a Penalty terrible; and the plotting of such will be void (of result). 38823883
3882 Good and Evil are to be distinguished sharply. No good is ever lost: it goes up to Allah. The humblest Good, in word
or deed, is exalted to high rank. If man seeks for mere glory and power, there is no such thing apart from Allah. But
seeking Allah, we attain to the highest glory and power. (35.10)
3883 It is the nature of Evil to work underground, to hide from the Light, to plot against Righteousness; but Evil inevitably
carries its own punishment. Its plots must fail miserably. And eventually Evil itself is to be blotted out. (35.10)
39:1 - The revelation of this Book is from Allah the Exalted in Power Full of Wisdom. 4242
39:43 - What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power
whatever and no intelligence?" 4310
42:3 - Thus doth (He) send Inspiration to thee as (He did) to those before thee Allah Exalted in
Power full of Wisdom. 4528
4528 Inspiration is full of Power and Wisdom, and both these qualities are derived from the Power and Wisdom of Allah.
Unlike human power, this Power is necessarily good and merciful; unlike human wisdom, this Wisdom is necessarily
complete and indisputable. (42.3)
48:21 - And other gains (there are) which are not within your power but which Allah has
compassed: and Allah has power over all things. 4899
51:47 - With the power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the
vastness of Space. 5025
