Control of the Universe

No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: on the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him! [39:67]

The Power of HIS Angels

He was taught by one Mighty in Power (Angel Gabriel), Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form). While he was in the highest part of the horizon. [53:5-7]

3

HIS Knowledge

With Him are the keys of the Unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a Record clear (to those who can read). [6:59]

[31:34],[31:16], [20:7], [41:22]

Power of Wind

Then, when they (the people of Hud) saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us rain!"

A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty!  "Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" then by the morning they, nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!

Flood Waters

But they (the people of Noah) rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him in the Ark: but We overwhelmed in the Flood those who rejected Our Signs. They were indeed a blind people!  [7:64]

2

Waters from broken Dams

But they (Saba') turned away (from Allah), and We sent against them the flood (released) from the Dams, and We converted their two garden (rows) into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees. That was the Requital We gave them because they ungratefully rejected Faith: and never do We give (such) requital except to such as are ungrateful rejecters.[34:16,17]

3

Drowning in Sea

We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Fir'aun and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)."  [10:90]

4

Irritating Sea

He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea: so that ye even board ships; they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him, saying, "If Thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"  [10:22]

5

Waves like mountains

Verse

1

Cities destroyed for wrong doing

And those cities We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.  [18:59]

2

Ruins after destruction

And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.[22:45]

3

Hunger and fear as punishment

And Allah presents an example: a city which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allah. So Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing. [16:112]

4

Dwellings not been inhabited after destruction

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were inheritors. [28:58]

5

Various methods of destruction

And each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.  [29:40]

6

Last words of the wrong doers

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people. And when they perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it. "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes- perhaps you will be questioned. They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers." And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].  [21:11-15]

7

Nearer punishment before the greater

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].  [32:21]

1

A thing most monstrous

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" [89] Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! [90] As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin. [91] That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious. [92] For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son. [19:88-92]

2

A Grievous Penalty

They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them. [5:73]

3

Allah's curse on them

The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Al-Masih the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! [9:30]

4

A Logical Question

Yet they make the Jinns equals with Allah, though Allah did create the Jinns; and they falsely, having no knowledge, attribute to Him sons and daughters. Praise and glory be to Him! (For He is) above what they attribute to Him! To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: how can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things.[6:100,101]

5

A clear sign of the manhood of Jesus

Al-Masih, the son of Maryam, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth! [5:75]

Blessings, Mercy and Guidance

Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. [156] Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return" [157] They are those on whom (descend) blessings from their Lord, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.  [2:155-157]

2

Recorded in a Decree

No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: that is truly easy for Allah: In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favours bestowed upon you. For Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster,  [57:22,23]

3

Key to Divine Guidance

No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of Allah: and if anyone believes in Allah, (Allah) guides his heart (aright): for Allah knows all things.  [64:11]

4

martyrs

So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith. [140] If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong. [141] Allah's object also is to purge those that are true in Faith and to deprive of blessing those that resist Faith. [3:139-141]

Prophets saying

Anas asked our Mother `A'isha about earthquakes: Is it a punishment?
She replied: A mercy and a blessing and an admonishment for the Believers and an exemplary punishment and wrath and bane on the disbelievers. [A Hadeeth; Ibn Abi al-Dunya narrated it in al-`Uqubat and al-Hakim in the Mustadrak.]
