DIVINE REVELATION AND RATIONALITY وَهُوَ الَّذِى يُحْيِ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ الْيْلِ وَالنَّهَارُ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ* 23:81. And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and in. His Hands is the alteration of night and day. Will you not then understand? 19 وَمَنْ يَّدْعُ مَعَ الله الها أَخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِنْدَ ربة إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَفِرُونَ 23:118 *. And he who calls on another god along with Allah, for which he has no proof, shall have to render an account to his Lord. Certainly the disbelievers will not prosper. 20 عَالَةٌ مَّعَ اللَّهُ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَدِقِينَ* 27:65. Is there a God besides Allah? Say, 'Bring forward your proof if you are truthful. ” 21 وَمَا أُوتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا ۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 28:61. And whatever of the things of this world you are given is only a temporary enjoyment of the present life and an adornment thereof; and that which is with. Allah is better and more lasting. Will you not then understand?²² 267
