Inside every ear, 100 seeds.

Calculation is beyond human imagination.

Allah's abundance bounties
2nd EXAMPLE (Lineage)
As-Saff: 5-6
Nabi Musa and Isa
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَاللهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ
O my people (because Nabi Musa's father and mother are from Bani Israel)
وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
O people of Israel
To be from that nation, your father is born frm that nation
In traditional judaisme, your nation comes from your mother.
Isa never said 'ya Qaumi' (o my people) but he said 'ya Bani israel'
Technically he cannot said it because he has no father.
Isa ibnu Maryam (part of our belief that he has no father)
3rd EXAMPLE
Al Jumu'ah: 1
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ
Al Malik: the king
Al Quddus: the perfectly pure, the source of purity
Al Aziz: the authority
Al Hakeem: the wise

They saw tijarah and entertainment,
But Allah has better entertainment and tijarah.
Principal of muslims life.
Entertainment: more universal culprit that takes away from remembering Allah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Sleep (naum)

In common with 8th sentence, Allah is not tired
لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِم
Allah gives syafa'ah (u have connection and get help). We beg Allah to get the qualification from Prophet in the Hereafter with His authority.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ
He knows what behind and ...
وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ

وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
