Ayah 163 And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Ayah 164 Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ
وَاخْتِلافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَاخْتِلافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ
وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ
وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاء مِن مَّاء فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاء مِن مَّاء فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا
وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ
وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ
وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاء وَالأَرْضِ وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاء وَالأَرْضِ

Lesson So the one who has given us everything, we too should give everything of ours to Him. Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allāh, Lord of the worlds. [al-An’aam: 162]
Ayah 165 And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah . But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah . And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment.

When Allah Loves Us Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said When Allah loves a servant, He calls out Jibril and says: “ I love so and so; so love him.” Then Jibril loves him. After that he (Jibril) announces to the inhabitants of heavens that Allah loves so and so; so love him. Then the inhabitants of heaven ( angels) also love him and then make people of the earth love him. Bukhari and Muslim

Ayah 166 [And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship]
إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُواْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُواْ
Ayah 167 Those who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.
Too Late!! The reality is that the object or the person we turn to has no power, no authority.

Ayah 169 He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allah what you do not know.
Food & Behavior In 1997 Dr. Sitt and her husband were invited to Wisconsin’s Appleton Central Alternative High School, where a full time policeman patrolled the halls. Guns, fights, and poor performance were rife. The Stitts replaced soda machines and sugar laden cafeteria food (including artificial colors and corn syrup) with water and wholesome fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. Within three months the police officer had little to do. The children’s behavior changed dramatically and was so consistently good the superintendent of the entire school district of 15,000 students took note and made all his schools change to wholesome food.
Ayah 170 And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?
