Allah Says: O Mankind! Worship Your Lord Who Created You and Those Before You

This is a new series (1-28) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

Verse No. 28 in the Old Testament says: And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing (creature) that moves on the earth.

Verse No. 28 in the New Testament says: When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Verse No. 28 in the Noble Quran says: O mankind! worship your guardian-lord, who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to learn righteousness; so that you will be cautious; so that you may guard against evil.

The verse No. 28 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:28

In article 27, Genesis 1:27 says: God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

In this article, Genesis 1:28  says: And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing (creature) that moves on the earth.

In this verse, we have three dominations or commandments from God to man.

The first domination is: Be fruitful and increase in number

The second domination is: Fill the earth, and subdue it

The third domination is: Have dominion over (Rule over) the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing (creature) that moves on the earth.

The verse No. 28 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:3

In the articles 26-27, Matthew 2:1 says: Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, (in Matthew 2:2):  Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

In this article, Matthew 2:3 says:

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

The verse means that, Herod the king, and all Jerusalem was troubled with him, when he had heard that the Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him,

Verse No. 28 in the Noble Quran is 2:21,

Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),

Verses 2:1-5 are talking about the believers.

Verses 2:6-7 are talking about the disbelievers.

Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites.

The address of verses 2:21-24 is general to mankind.

Verse 2:21 says:

O mankind! worship your guardian-lord, who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to learn righteousness(so that you will be cautious)

The meaning of verse 2:21:

O mankind! worship, profess the oneness of your Lord, declare Him as the only One God Who created you, made you as different lineages beginning from a drop of sperm, when you were nothing, and created those that were before you; those who have gone before you, so that you may be fearful, of His punishment by worshipping Him; so that you may ward off His wrath and torment and obey Him. (so that in English is la‘alla in Arabic is essentially an optative that has among its functions the expression of a wish, but when spoken by Allah it denotes an affirmative, asserting the truth).
