What Do the Bible and Quran Say About the Life and Play?

Before dealing with the topic of the PLAY in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. The PLAY is mentioned 45 times in the Bible (KJV) and 19 times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the PLAY more than two times as does the Quran. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and more than twice (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the PLAY.

In this series, the topic of the Play is classified into six parts, herein is the fourth part, which is the Play in this Life and Afterlife.

Life and Play in the Quran:

Allah does not create the heavens and the earth in Play!

Surah: 21, Verse: 16

It was not in play that We created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them.

Surah: 44, Verse: 38

It was not in play that We (Allah) created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them.

Our life is nothing but a diversion and play; however, the Afterlife is the Eternal one!

Surah: 29, Verse: 64

The life of this world is nothing but a diversion and play. Indeed, the everlasting residence is the eternal life, if they but knew.

We are playing in this life; however, the Afterlife is the better Eternal home for those who understand!

Surah: 6, Verse: 32

The life of this world is but playing and an amusement. Surely, the everlasting home is better for the cautious. Will you not understand?

Surah: 47, Verse: 36

The life of this world is but play and an amusement. if you believe and are cautious, He will give you your wage, and will not ask for your possessions.

Surah: 57, Verse: 20

Know that the life of this world is but play and an amusement, and adornment, and a cause for boasting among you, a rivalry for greater riches and children. it is like rain whose vegetation pleases the unbelievers, but then it withers and turns yellow, becoming broken stubble. in the everlasting life is a terrible punishment, forgiveness, and great pleasure from Allah. the life of this world is nothing except the joy of delusion.

Another translation of the verse (57:20):

Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. here is a similitude: how rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. but in the hereafter is a penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). and forgiveness from Allah and (his) good pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). and what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?

How Twilight Should Have Ended

Played $3.99 When one of Ian's boys dares him to get plain-faced Kylie Winship to sleep with him in just three weeks, he thinks it'll be a breeze. Tall and fine, with honey-colored skin and eyes, Ian is used to getting what he wants from girls. And if he succeeds in playing Kylie, he'll be down with the most popular crew in his high school. But this girl, who everyone considers a nobody, is turning out to be more surprising than he ever could have imagined.

We Would Have Played for Nothing $4.99 Former Major League Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent brings together a stellar roster of ballplayers from the 1950s and 1960s in this wonderful new history of the game. These were the decades when baseball expanded across the country and truly became the national pastime. The era opened, though, with the domination of the New York teams: the Yankees, Dodgers, or Giants were in every World Series of the 1950s -- but by the end of the decade the two National League teams had moved to California. Representing those great teams in this volume are Whitey Ford, Ralph Branca, Carl Erskine, Duke Snider, and Bill Rigney. They recall the great 1951 Dodgers-Giants playoff that ended with Bobby Thomson's famous home run (served up by Branca). They remember the mighty Yankees, defeated at last in 1955 by the Dodgers, only to recover the World Series crown from their Brooklyn rivals a year later. They talk about their most feared opponents and most valued teammates, from Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle to Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella to Willie Mays. But there were great teams and great ballplayers elsewhere in the 1950s and 1960s. Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts recalls the famous Whiz Kids Phillies of 1950 and his epic duels with Don Newcombe and other leading National League pitchers. Lew Burdette remembers his years as one-half of the dominating pitching duo (with Warren Spahn) that propelled the Braves to the World Series in 1957 and 1958. Harmon Killebrew recalls belting home runs for the hapless Washington Senators, then discovering a new world of enthusiastic fans in Minnesota when the Senators joined the westward migration and became the Twins. Brooks Robinson, on the other hand, played his entire twenty-three-year career for the Baltimore Orioles, never moving anywhere except all around third base, where he earned a record sixteen consecutive Gold Gloves. When Frank Robinson left Cincinnati to join Brooks on the Orioles in 1966, that team became a powerhouse. Frank Robinson won the MVP award that year, the first player to do so in each league. He remembers taking the momentous step to become the first African-American manager in the big leagues, the final step that Jackie Robinson had wanted to take. Like Frank Robinson, Billy Williams was one of the first African-American stars not to come out of the old Negro Leagues. He spent his greatest years with the Chicago Cubs, playing alongside Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, and later Ron Santo, but here he recalls how he nearly gave up on the game in the minor leagues. We Would Have Played for Nothing is full of fascinating stories about how these great ballplayers broke into baseball, about the inevitable frustrations of trying to negotiate a contract with owners who always had the upper hand, and about great games and great stars-teammates and opponents-whose influence shaped these ballplayers' lives forever. Illustrated throughout, this book is a wonderful reminiscence of two great

Getting Played $8.99 If there's one thing Kenisha Lewis has learned, it's that the people you think you know best often surprise you the most. And not always in a good way. It seems the revelations just keep coming. First, her grandmother and her dad are having money troubles, which means she'll probably have to stay in public school and get a part-time job. And then there's her boyfriend, Terrence, who has more secrets than she could have imagined. Kenisha can't believe Terrence is dumb enough to get mixed up in a string of robberies. Or that he'd cheat on her with his old girlfriend. Or could it be that she just doesn't want to admit the truth? Where Kenisha goes, drama follows, but she's getting stronger and smarter every day. And she doesn't plan on getting played again….

The Caddie Who Played with Hickory $9.99 Before there were titanium woods and graphite shafts, golf clubs were made from the wood of hickory trees and had intriguing names like cleek, mashie and jigger. Golf was a game played not with high-tech equipment but with skill, finesse, and creativity. And the greatest hickory player of all time was Walter Hagen---until the day he met a teenage caddie at a country club outside Chicago.      America’s first touring golf professional, Hagen made (and spent) more prize money than his friends Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey earned from baseball and boxing during the Golden Age of Sports. In this novel, set in the halcyon post-war Midwest of 1946, Hagen comes to historic Midlothian Country Club as the champion he is---but also as a man handicapped by a secret.      Waiting for him are two caddies. Harrison Cornell—a onetime rich playboy from the Bahamas—has a past; the other---Tommy O’Shea, a farm boy who caddies at the country club---may have a future . . . but only if he can somehow beat Hagen on the links, in one last game played with hickory.      Cornell is a mystery man who appears from nowhere and presents himself as a “looper,” a professional caddie. Soon everyone sees that he has a gift---within weeks he has improved the games of dozens of members. Only Tommy O’Shea, his eager pupil, knows Cornell’s real motive for coming to the club: his grudge against Walter Hagen, over something that happened during the Second World War in the lovely paradise known as the Bahamas.      As the playboy and the farm boy become friends, Harrison teaches Tommy the secrets of playing golf with hickory, along with lessons in life and love. But the shadow of Hagen, and the upcoming match, fall across the Midwest summer, and as the competition nears, Tommy’s hopes for the future---and his love for a member’s daughter---are threatened when the truth about Harrison’s past is revealed. Not until the climax, played out in an exciting shot-for-shot match, will all the questions be answered and all the scores settled.      As in his previous novel, The Caddie Who Knew Ben Hogan , author John Coyne has created a world rich in characters, action, and golf lore---this time including the fascinating history of hickory play. An entertaining, suspenseful read for anyone who loves the game, it is also a book that offers a pure dose of Midwestern soul, written by a new voice in golf literature who has firmly established himself as one of the leaders of the genre. Praise for The Caddie Who Played with Hickory : "A highly entertaining must-read for anyone interested in hickory golf or the history of the game. I loved it!" -- Randy Jensen, 7-time National Hickory Golf Champion "John Coyne knows his golf history, its characters and the game. He spins a story that includes a mysterious character, a hero, a

Getting Played (DVD) $6.93 “Men are dogs, men are players, they are the liars, the cheats and the overall scum of the universe” Now these are just some of the delightful words I heard whilst sat inside a laundrette a few months back coming from a group of middle-aged disgruntle women. Cast List: Bill Bellamy , Vivica A Fox , Carmen Electra , Stacey Dash Getting Played By Cory Peynado, Blockbuster.co.uk “Men are dogs, men are players, they are the liars, the cheats and the overall scum of the universe” Now these are just some of the delightful words I heard whilst sat inside a laundrette a few months back coming from a group of middle-aged disgruntle women. These words won’t kill me of course but it was certainly enough to put me off asking for twenty pence for the machine. Is it true? Do all men have that Johnny Bravo nature inside them? Is there really no trust worthy Homo sapiens of the alpha persuasion in existence? Well according to Andrea Collins (Vivica A. Fox) the answer is no. And the same goes for her two friends, Lauren (Carmen Electra) and Emily, played by Stacey Dash. They have taken about as much as anyone can take from men and they are out to get some revenge. These three sexy and smart ladies decide to turn the tables around full circle and play the players at their own game. They start off by making a bet to see who can hook up with Mark Sellers (Bill Bellamy) and get him into bed the fastest… (My heart bleeds for him) They know that Bill is a pretty handsome guy and he’s certainly not innocent when it comes to playing the ladies so he qualifies as a perfect mark, but Bill finds out about this plan and decides to use it to his advantage, therefore things for the girls don’t exactly go according to plan. There are some really funny parts in this movie but I won’t spoil them for you. Writer and Director David Silberg does a fairly good job at delivering a nice story with a bit of edge, a bit of character and a good dose of comeuppance for all involved. Great for people who like their… can I call it a romantic comedy? not sure, maybe a romantic ambush, how’s that.

Only Angels Have Wings - $12.99 Virtually a textbook example of Howard Hawks' "macho" mode, Only Angels Have Wings takes place high in the Peruvian Andes. Cary Grant heads a ramshackle airmail and freight service, forced to fly in the most perilous of weather conditions to the most treacherous of destinations. Facing death on a near-hourly basis, Grant and his flyers have adopted a casual, all-in-day's-work attitude towards mortality. If a pilot cracks up and dies, it's simply because he didn't have what it took, and that's that. Stranded showgirl Jean Arthur can't stand this cavalier attitude at first, but before long she becomes, in true Hawksian fashion, "one of the guys". Complicating the story is the presence of Richard Barthelmess, who has been persona non grata with the other pilots ever since his carelessness cost the life of one of their number. In addition to a surfeit of guilt, Barthelmess is saddled with a faithless wife, played by Rita Hayworth in her first important A-picture role. Hayworth makes a play for Grant, but he spurns her, finally realizing that, in spite of himself, he's in love with Arthur. Grant himself is riddled with guilt when near-blind pilot Thomas Mitchell insists upon taking on one final flight. Having lost his best friend, Grant drops his hard-bitten shell, and for the first time opens himself up emotionally to Arthur-which of course leads to a nail-biting climax wherein Arthur suffers mightily as Grant faces certain death. Scripted by Jules Furthman from a story by Hawks, Only Angels Have Wings is a treasure trove of terse, pithy dialogue: our favorite scene occurs when, upon discovering that he's about to die, Thomas Mitchell says he's often wondered how he'd react to imminent death-and, now that death is but a few moments away, he'd rather that no one else be around to witness his reaction. Though sometimes laid low by obvious miniatures, the aerial scenes in Only Angels Have Wings are by and large first-rate, earning a first-ever "best special effects" Oscar nomination for Roy Davidson and Edwin C. Hahn. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Have One on Me $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Have One On Me is the third studio album by Joanna Newsom, released on February 23, 2010 via Drag City. It is a triple album, although the music could have comfortably fit on a double album. Newsom produced Have One On Me herself, with the accompanying arrangements by Ryan Francesconi being noted by several reviewers as less ornate or fussy than those on Ys. Have One On Me finds Newsom exploring new sounds, such as the inclusion of instruments like tambura and kaval and the further development of other elements of Newsoms sound electric guitar and a progression in the orchestral accompaniment. She also flirts with genres such as jazz and blues in some tracks, aside adding harmonies in others. Many of the songs are also reminiscent of Newsoms previous two studio albums and show a natural progression. Because of health problems and natural reasons, Newsoms voice has changed in comparison to her older in previous albums. The lyrics have also been described as more straightforward than Ys, though still cryptic. The album is also her first since The MilkEyed Mender to include tracks played on the piano instead of the harp.

The Greatest Game Ever Played (WS/DVD) $20.56 The second film directed by actor Bill Paxton is a marked departure--in both form and content--from his debut, 2001`s FRAILTY, a shadowy, gothic tale of murder. THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED is a sports movie slash Horatio Alger rags-to-riches tale with undertones of class consciousness and social critique. The story is based on a real-life event--the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship--at which two equally sympathetic young men, both of whom grew up economically and socially disadvantaged, go club to club in one of the most exciting and dramatic athletic events of the early 20th century. The film focuses on the competition between the British star Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane) and the young American prodigy Francis Ouimet (HOLES star Shia LaBoeuf). Though they hail from opposite sides of the Atlantic, the struggles that the two young golfers have had to overcome are markedly similar; both grew up in hard-scrabble, working-class homes that happened to be adjacent to golf courses, and both were preternaturally disposed to the game. In addition, both must defy the disdain of the golfing gentry. Vardon is already a reigning champion and international darling when Ouimet makes it to his first tournament to battle him. Though enough backstory is provided to connect the viewers to the characters, the meat of the film is the dramatic unfolding of the tournament. With expert editing and fluid camera work, Paxton films close-up views of the golfing action in a manner that recalls the kinetic pool shots in Martin Scorseses THE COLOR OF MONEY. With each stroke, the competition becomes closer and the mood more tense, culminating in an explosive outcome that, while not unexpected, pulls at the heartstrings as do all good tales of triumph over adversity.

Hold`em Hands I Played Badly (Paperback) $37.1 In a remarkably different approach from every other poker book, and a book that is written by a typical player for a typical player (not penned a TV pro) the author explains how he played hands badly, why he made those decisions, and afterward, why the plays were wrong and how they should have been played. Hesse has been charting his mistakes for 30 years as a tool for increasing his profits and avoiding bad plays in the future. This book is a result of the author’s painstaking effort. Readers learn from the thousands of dollars of mistakes and years of wrong moves made by Hesse and how they can avoid these struggles and instead, quickly get into profitable territory. As the author says, he wishes someone else had written this book so he wouldn’t have had to learn the hard way.

Have Band Will Travel $14.99 The Stan Kenton Alumni Band, directed by trumpeter Mike Vax, are not what you would call a ghost band rehashing a steady diet of dusty charts from decades ago, but a living tribute to the late bandleader/composer, who died in 1977. The material on this CD is drawn from recordings made during their 2009 tour, mixing elements of old and new arrangements, all played with enthusiasm and finesse. Starting off with "The New Intermission Riff," which alto saxophonist Kim Richmond based on Carl Fontana's trombone solo in the original "Intermission Riff" and expanded for the full band, the band crackles with energy. Veteran arranger Lennie Niehaus scored the standard "Long Ago and Far Away" in swinging fashion. Gerry Mulligan's "Swing House" isn't one of his better-known works, though this snappy miniature is an obvious highlight. The newer arrangements also merit praise. Scott Whitfield and Ginger Berglund share the vocals in Steve Allen's upbeat "This Could Be the Start of Something Big." Steve Huffsteter penned the infectious "Joint Tenancy" (an intricate reworking of the changes to "Alone Together") and shares the solo spotlight with fellow trumpeter Don Rader. "Crescent City Stomp" isn't something one would envision in Kenton's repertoire, but Eric Richard's progressive blend of blues, New Orleans rhythm, and fiery solos will get anyone on his or her feet. Beautifully recorded and performed, the Stan Kenton Alumni Band continue to build on the tradition of the late bandleader. ~ Ken Dryden

Jacob Have I Loved - Fullscreen $8.99 Adapted from a popular young adult novel by Katherine Paterson, Jacob Have I Loved is set during World War II and is concerned with two fraternal twin sisters: Louise (played by Bridget Fonda), plain but robust, and Caroline (played by Jenny Robertson), prettier and more delicate. In sixteen-year-old Louise's eyes, Caroline has long been the favorite of the family, and Louise resents both her family and her sister for this. There's certainly good reason for this: the stronger Louise works hard, helping out in the family's seafood business, while Caroline whiles away the time with music lessons and the like. Louise wants to go out on the boats with her father, but this isn't permissible, and she considers saving her money and getting away from the island where she is so trapped. Her life changes, however, when an old sea captain returns to the island and she strikes up a friendship with him that teaches her a great deal. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi
