UDL: "Pressing Yusuf's First Shirt" (Special Study Edition)

Qur’an is a Continuation, Correction, Commentary and a Completion of previous scriptures. So for the richest and deepest connections we need to see Allah’s revelation in the symmetry of the history of Scripture.

Taqwa, Sin and Death

Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3: 102 O you who have believed, Be conscious of Allah with the consciousness that is due to him and die not except as Muslims [in submission to Him].

Man’s first clothing was his flesh (23: 12-14)

7: 26-27  O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment.  But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.  O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
