Pearl of Wisdom

returning from the Battle of Siffin, in answer to an old man who asked him about their journey to Syria: 'Is this fate or destiny?' said, 'By He who created the seed and made the human being, we have not gone through a valley or ascended a mountain without it being our fate and destiny.... You might think this to be imperative fate and inevitable destiny. If this were so then promise of reward (wa'd) and threat of penalty (wa'id), would cease to apply, and reward and punishment would become null. Allah would not blame the sinners, nor would He praise the good-doers. The benevolent would not be more worthy of reward for good deeds than the sinner, which is the belief of the idol worshippers.... and the Magians. However, Allah has commanded good by choice and forbidden evil by warning, and He is not disobeyed helplessly, nor obeyed forcefully or freely, and nor does He give man absolute control.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Ibid. no. 1560

Intoxicants, gambling, idols, fortune arrows and dirtiness, devil’s labor E-mail

The 90th verse of the sura The Feast refers to 1- intoxicants (hamr), 2- gambling (meysir), 3- idols (ansab) 4- fortune arrows (azlam) and then describes these with two adjectives: 1- devil’s labor (ameli sheytani), 2- dirtiness (rics). The first four items mentioned in the beginning of the verse are used 12 times in total. The two qualities used for these four items are also used 12 times in the Quran. As it can be seen here, the mathematical miracle of the Quran is not presented in one single form. God shows different creations in universe, and different types of mathematical miracles in the Quran. The four items and the two adjectives are shown in the verse below:

90- O you who believe, intoxicants, gambling, idols, fortune arrows are dirtiness of the devil’s labor. So keep away from them that you may prosper.
                                                                                                               5. The Feast, 90
