Inspiring Theodicean Practice

Reading between the lines of Verse 40 of Chapter 17 of Qur’an, one is inspired:

  • The grass-root belief that boys are superior to or better than girls is none-sense and pure conjecture. ‘أفاصفاكم… بالبنین’ [Then…has chosen you for [having] sons.].
  • Allah’s Lordship also applies even to polytheists. ‘ربّكم’ [your Lord].
  • Believing that Allah has offspring [and sons] is baseless and condemned. ‘لتقولون‏ قولاعظیماً’ [you say a grave saying.].
  • Conjecture that angles are females is wrong. ‘الملائكة اناثا… قولا عظیما’ [the angels daughters… a grave saying].
  • Human being must not behave what he himself does not prefer for others, let alone for God. ‘لتقولون قولا عظیماً’ [you say a grave saying.].
