The Power of Bee Democracy 

Golden 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Americans should learn from bees

We are borg…. Bzzz 🐝

Can’t expect an undeveloped species to use the supremely better Imperial system. Same can be said about most countries outside of the US. Makes sense if you think about it, bunch of ungulates 🤷‍♂️

Lmao! All joking aside, maybe they do actually keep backups in their tiny little minds and we've yet to discover this ;)

If they deem the new location unfit after some time, they return. Its one of the key things to remember when catching bee swarms. You have to make their new home as fitting as possible.

@@flowgangsemaudamartoz7062 or at least, more fitting than the home they came from!

That's what she said. That before they swarm, scouts already know potential homes. You weren't listening.

@@gazinta 1. It's a pun. 2. Fireaza didn't say "it's foolish to only consider one option," instead "it's foolish to only _choose_ one option." I think it's more fair to say you weren't paying attention, not them.

Wasps don't sting home owners too. they seem to recognise faces!!! People have painted their homes right in the face of the most dangerous wasp nest but as long as it's the home owner the wasps do nothing You can apparently paint right around their hives while they buzz around your face .

Everything on this planet is a creature of habit I wouldn’t exactly credit them with super scientific knowledge Everything on this planet from day one has been dictated by the rise and fall of the sun So everything is naturally habitual

@@Paragonoflaziness I wasn’t saying they’re scientists. I’m saying they may recall that last they picked up on my scent it was not a threat and connect that I wouldn’t be a threat this time either Edit: That may have sounded harsh, what I was trying to get at is I think there is a hell of a lot we don’t know about them, and I think we underestimate every animals cognitive ability’s, it amazes me how much we have left to learn tbh

Fascinating insight! I'm gradually becoming more infatuated with their structure and behavior.

bees recognize our faces over time!! they probably just know who you are! they trust you:)

Democracy destroys civilizations.

Imagine if democracy would only work if you dance your ideas during a debate.

@@Siderite I would watch it

@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr name a single civilization destroyed by democracy.

Democracy does not exist. Cause of all evil.

1  In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

Yes, this why l believe everything even things we consider “synthetic” are of nature. We were simply the catalyst.

@@jdkingsley6543 exactly! if you think from the perspective of an observer that is not from this planet, everything we do is by definition part of nature. But hopefully we can figure out how to unfuck our planet, Hope y'all have a merry christmas and a happy holidays

I suggest we use the word "consensus", but also we consider that this creates better decisions than decisions that can be seen as mediocre, as with majorities by democratic decision making.?

Except we can talk, and we collect knowledge over the course of years, not weeks. What's the point of competition within the hive? They're literally competing with other colonies.

The combination of individual brains aided by the social products of the crowd is optimal. The only people capable of participating in the moon landing were those with the right kind of individual brains to contribute. Also they were motivated by competition -- with the USSR.

There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

Bees don't have democracy. They would have build boats and spaceships by now if they had democracy. Each bee is as disposable as the next, which is why the drones are thrown out of the hive if there isn't enough food. Bees live in a dictatorship. They have the ability to talk to each other, but if it isn't about finding food, they get thrown out

Yours was the first comment, congratulations.

FOR THE QUEEN!

Thank you!! We try :)

unfortunately you can't just expand that naming scheme to "Real Maths" cos that would exclude imaginary numbers xD

What is RE?

@@hughjass1976 oh thank you, i was curious

Beekeeping is very noble :) I know exactly the kind of thing you mean though, I grew up around someone who constantly compared it to factory farming, abuse, neglect, etc - and tried to make me feel bad for buying local honey to help with my hay-fever. Many more people need to be educated in phenomena like becoming honeybound (as you well know, but for the audience: honey harvesting is NOT deprivation, bees make as much as they can to compensate for predators taking stuff, very bad things happen if their hive is literally full of honey. Humans protect them and their honey and taking a skim off the top actually helps this relationship, not devalues it.); or the necessity of feeding sugar water if local flora just aren’t flourishing (as many people seem to think harvests take away every single comb and just replace it all with syrup… really it’s just a backup option when they’d starve in the wild); and so on. So I definitely implore you to share your knowledge! There’s a RU-vidr called Cody’s Lab and he has bee-keeping series on his second channel for new ones, and on the main channel for archived older series. I don’t know if you would enjoy watching his videos (or if you’d unbearably be like “no I’d do it like this” and hate it) but it might give you some ideas of the types of video content you can talk over and stuff like that.

@@kaitlyn__L I actually didn't know that skimming the honey helps o.O Thankfully though I know enough to know I know jack shit about apiculture 🤣 Like I knew that introducing clean smoke to bees calms them down, and that what apiarists do can actually help the hive, but beyond that I knew nothing, except for the fact that I didn't know any more xD What many people don't realise these days is that the hardest lesson of intelligence is to be intelligent enough to know that your knowledge of a subject is enough to know you lack knowledge of said subject, and thus not spout theories as fact xD

@@kaelanirevyruun1676 yes, being cognisant of known unknowns is a good idea! And certainly it’s _possible_ to take too much honey, but yes keeping an equilibrium and taking a frame here or there so they have plenty of room for pollen, jelly, eggs, etc is super important! You might also enjoy Beekeeping With Cody, the videos I mentioned in my other comment :)

@@kaelanirevyruun1676 the smoke doesn't sound much calm bee's down as disguise any pheromones that might trigger defensive stinging behaviour, and get them to focus on defending the hive against fire. If you smoke them too much, they get quite agitated and begin gorging on honey in order to transport it to a safer location.

... so much not *... sound much. But on the topic of sound, I don't think that the waggle dance is mainly visual, as it's dark in those hives... people speak of the resonance of wax combs cf plastic comb frames, and you can get a good sense of the mood of a hive from its different sounds.... what's the buzz? :-)

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit.

Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth.

Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills.

Yes. but the kind where intelligence goes down, not up.

It has actually been argued (although quite controversial and definitely over my head) that humans are a eusocial species, with the tribal social group of a few dozen individuals being analogous to the hive or colony of eusocial insects... (the main proponent that I've seen of this idea is a biologist called Edward O Wilson if your interested)

@@marionette5968 I think there is an optimum number where the collective intelligence goes up and after that its falls down dramatically.

yes, there are some theories out there that humans could be part of a superorganism. I don't know how much water the theory holds, I would have to do some more research!

@@playhard719 It's called mediocrity? or lowest common denominator

unless they cross-breed in the wild and develop defensive or aggressive characteristics. Then they are not so adorable, but quite deadly. I know, dealing with such bees is my work.!

@@rodyates1 which is why pretty whites shouldn't be exposed to us POC guys. They need to propagate the prettiness, not hybrids.

Beware of anthropomorphic attitudes to bees. You can't "understand" them by applying interpretations stemming from Human experience, or you could miss understand the bigger picture. They simply are different, very different indeed.

Anyone know the soundtrack title?

Democracy for most part ain't what it's cracked up to bee ( ;) ), saying that the Swiss have a decent enough system. The only one I've ever heard I liked

@@nicosmind3 so basically representative democracy is hollow but deeper participation in democracy, more than once every few years but often, in your work place too, where you feel your vote actually matters…. is much better. (Of course I’d wager the former is democracy in name only but hey.)

Your grammar is unsettling.

@@ZhouMama69420 sorry, but i extremely bad at typing. And the autocorrect always puts french words when i want to write in english, so this is about the best i can offer

In that case you will be offered a blue pill or a red pill.

I’ve often wondered if we’re already technically there, given the way a single influential meme or article‘s phraseology quickly is parroted by everybody in the in-group. And these groups can encompass significant portions of all of humanity. Of course it can go much further than this. I have a similar keyboard problem on my phone when I’m trying to write in French or Spanish, eventually I just added the extra languages in the settings to switch to for a single word or sentence, although then it’s a pain in the butt to cycle through everything to get to the symbols keyboards. But I prefer it to fighting with auto-correct.

Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way.

He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah.

He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision.

And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind.

Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded.

We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that Allah is Powerful and Wise.” 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship Allah, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them Allah guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills.

So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86  How will Allah guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people. 87  Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of Allah, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88  Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89  Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 90  As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91  As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. Read The Quran

2  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 164  In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand. 66  And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers. 67  And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand. 68  And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.” 69  Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect. 2  Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.   Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2  Allah, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them Allah spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 257  Allah is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “Allah brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can Allah revive this after its demise?” Thereupon Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that Allah has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you.
