12 MAXIMS OF INTENSE BEAUTY

[The Divine message has essentially been the same. Herein are mentioned some of those laws, Twelve Maxims of intense beauty from the Scrolls of Abraham (See 53:36-37). Notice how these few verses can guide us beyond imagination.]

53:38 i No laden one shall bear the load of another.


53:39 ii Every human being shall be responsible for his works, and compensated for, his labor.

53:40 iii His effort (and not the results) will be seen.

53:41 iv Then he will be fully rewarded for it.

53:42 v To your Sustainer is the final destination. [79:44. Your goal shall be your Sustainer’s Rule on earth]

53:43 vi He is the One Who causes you to laugh, and to cry. [The basic principles that cause nations to live in prosperity versus misery, are being mentioned here]

53:44 vii He is the One Who gives death and gives life. [The rise and fall of nations follow His laws. And these laws are most excellently expounded in the Qur’an]

53:45 viii He is the One Who creates the two companions, the male and the female (pairs and opposites among His creation),

53:46 From gametes that unite.

53:47 ix He has promised to bring about a second life (the ultimate accountability).

53:48 x He is the One Who gives wealth and contentment (according to His laws).

53:49 xi He is the One Who is the Sustainer of the brightest star, the human intellect.
[Shi'ra = Sha'oor = Intellect. Shi'ra is also the Arabic name of the brightest star Sirius in the constellation Canis Major. It was widely worshiped in ancient Middle East]

53:50 xii He is the One Who annihilated the former tribe of ‘Aad. [They were men of intellect but refused to establish the Divine System. Divine laws never change, therefore, a wrong system, however smartly run, is bound to collapse]
