Editing: an-Nisa'

Description <p><strong>Explanatory Note</strong></p> <p>But if the two separate, God shall provide for each of them out of His abundance: God is indeed Munificent, Wise. To God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. We have indeed enjoined those who were granted revelations before your time, as well as yourselves, to always be God-fearing. If you disbelieve, know that to God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy. And to God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. God is your All- Sufficient Guardian. If He so wills, He can take you, mankind, and replace you by others. This He surely has the power to do. If anyone desires the rewards of this world, let him remember that with God are the rewards of this world and those of the life to come. God is indeed All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Verses -130-134)<br />  <br /> Often rules and injunctions given in the Qur’ān are followed by a statement that to God belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth. The two are essentially interrelated: he who owns something has all power and authority over it. He alone has the right to establish the system he wants and to impose it on those who are under his dominion. Since God is the only owner, it follows that He alone has the authority to legislate to people. Of all Divine instructions, the one which is highlighted here and which has been given to all those who received messages from God is that which tells people to always fear God:<strong> “To God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. We have indeed enjoined those who were granted revelations before your time, as well as yourselves, to always be God fearing.” (Verse 131)</strong></p>
