The Hosts of Heaven in Bible and Quran
The Host of heaven in the Bible:
The sun, and the moon, and the stars are the host of heaven
Deuteronomy 4:19
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deuteronomy 17:3
And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
The LORD is sitting on his throne surrounded by all the host of heaven (Sun, moon and stars).
1 Kings 22:19
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven;
The entire host the heavens were made by the Lord's the breath of his mouth
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
The Lord commanded the host the heavens
Isaiah 45:12
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
They shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Jeremiah 8:2
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
The host of heaven cannot be numbered
Jeremiah 33:22
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured:
The queen of heaven
Jeremiah 44:25
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
It cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Is it possible to cast down some of the stars to the ground?
Which is very huge in size in comparison to the Earth? Some stars or the earth?
Daniel 8:10
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
A multitude of the heavenly host praising God with the angel
Luke 2:13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
The Host of heaven in the Quran:
The hosts of the heavens and the earth are belonged to Allah
Surah 48:4
it is he who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of the believers, that they may add faith to their faith;- for to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is ever knower, wise -
Surah 48:7
For to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is exalted in power, ever mighty, full of wisdom.
The guardians of the hell are 19 Angels.
None can know the hosts of Allah but Allah.
Surah 74:31
and we have set none but angels as guardians of the fire (hell); and we have fixed their number only as a trial for unbelievers,- in order that the people of the book may arrive at certainty, and the believers may increase in faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the people of the book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say, "what symbol doth Allah intend by this?" thus doth Allah leave to stray whom he pleaseth, and guide whom he pleaseth: and none can know the hosts of your lord but he himself, and this is no other than a warning to mankind.( this is naught else than a reminder unto mortals)
When this verse had revealed, the ignorant Arabs who denied the Quran said that they could easily beat these 19 Angels; every 12 men will grasp and cast down one Angel. They believed they would beat the 19 guardians of the hell then will go forth to the paradise. They were very ignorant and had no idea about the size of an Angel. The size of one small Angel may be more than the size of the entire Earth.
The verse also says that none can know the hosts of Allah but Allah.
Allah knows the total number, the sizes, the consistency, the job and everything about His hosts.
It should be emphasized that the Quran mentions two types of Allah's hosts, the hosts of the heaven and the hosts of the Earth.
If we –for example- consider the microbes as the hosts of the Earth; could anyone knows their total numbers? The number of microbes inside your body or in soil is far away from your thoughts.
Another big difference between the Quran and the Bible is that the Bible considers the sun, moon and stars as the hosts of the heaven while the Quran considers them as creatures which represent signs for Allah the almighty (41:37).
Surah 41:37:
Among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, who created them, if it is him ye wish to serve.
Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 50); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "?

How to combat algae in new pond?
I have just set up a pond that is about ~100 gallons. There is no mechanical filter, only a small pump circulating water.
There is a water-lilly type plant, 2 Water Hyacinths, a underwater sword plant and one bunch of floating plant.
There are two fish: a 4 inch gold fish and a 6 inch koi.
There has been a bloom of cruddy looking algae on the bottom of the pond. How can I best get this under control? A person at the pet store reccomended something called Microbe Lift. Is this good to use?
there is a die which you can get to control algae stops uv light penetrating the surface to much does not stop it but it does slow it down long enough to get a uv light set up on your filter to stop the floating algae bloom, some say barley straw in a bag placed at the outlet of your filter didn't work for me but it might for you as it has worked for some of my friends. good luck

Tips For Feeding Your Koi
Keeping koi has gained in popularity not only because they are beautiful, but also because they are extremely adaptable and quite hardy. Koi are typically very healthy fish with a fairly strong immune system. What you feed your koi is essential in keeping them strong and healthy. Koi are omnivores, meaning they will consume both plant and animal matter with their preference running towards larvae and aquatic insects. They are also natural bottom-feeders. However, if you'd like to encourage them to come to the surface to feed, floating pellets lay on top of the water and they allow fish to easily eat in order to get the nutrients they need. This also gives you an opportunity to estimate their overall feeding levels in order to prevent fish tank build up and excess organic waste. Koi are pretty easy to feed as long as you understand some basic facts.
Types of Food
First off, koi food is expensive. With that said you need to experiment which food is right for your budget and the condition of your koi. Keep in mind, the highest quality of food for your koi may not be the highest price. Most prices for koi food are based on the popular name brand and not the quality of nutrients in the food. There are three top name brand koi foods. Dainichi offers a high quality of koi food that encapsulates their food with vitamins and minerals after going through the cooking process so that nutrients aren't lost through the heating. One of the most popular name brand food is Hikari. They have been in business for over 100 years and use the freshest ingredients for their koi supply. One of their most popular products is the multi-season food which eliminates the need of changing food seasonally. Sakura koi food is another brand name that features high levels of Vitamin E which is important for a shiny and healthy appearance and for fish scale health. The important thing to note is these are not the only quality koi foods on the market. Microbe-Lift, TetraPond, PondCare and Blackwater are several other quality brands that are just as popular with koi owners and may fit your budget better.
Sinking Koi Food
If you have a fish that for whatever reason cannot or will not come to the surface for feeding, you can provide them with a slow sinking fish food to ensure they get the nutrition they need. There are several medicated sinking foods available by various brand names. However, if you have a fish that isn't sick but is new to the pond and is still acclimating or perhaps one that has a kinked spine and has difficulty getting to the surface to feed, one of the best slow sinking foods I have found is offered by Aquatic Eco-Systems. The caution in using any sinking fish food is to watch for leftover waste. If the fish are not eating it, it will stay at the bottom and rot and is more difficult to remove.
Low Temperature Feeding
During the cooler months, it is best to feed your koi a low protein, high-carbohydrate diet for when the water temperature is between 50 and 70 degrees. When your koi consumes an easily digestible food, it reduces their waste which means less of a detriment to your pond's environment. When the temperatures start to warm up, give your koi extra protein for growth since their fat reserves have been reduced during the winter.
Feeding Amounts
If you find leftovers in the pond, try to remove them immediately to avoid water quality problems. You should never give your koi more food than they can eat within a five minute period of time otherwise the food will sink to the bottom of their water and decompose therefore creating lots of organic waste. This is not a good thing since water quality is the number one factor in koi health. If you find leftovers, try to remove them immediately to avoid water quality problems. Excess Koi food won't necessarily harm your fish, but if they over eat they don't digest it as efficiently and simply release it into the pond as a waste product. This extra waste pollutes the water and causes your filter to work harder. If you can, use a feeding ring when you feed your koi. This will reduce the amount of food that gets pulled into the filter and wasted.
Pond Plants
Anyone who has kept koi know they love to nibble on pond plants. They can provide vital nutrients for your koi as well as being an attractive feature in any pond. If you want to keep your koi away from your plants, be sure to place the plants in a floating basket. If the plant is submersible like a water lily, place some larger rocks over the roots to keep the koi from digging into the root base and dislodging the plant. A number of fish stores will sell or even give away frogbit to pond owners. This is an invasive floating plant that will take over a pond without fish in it. Koi love to eat frogbit, however, and they will keep it from taking over your pond.
Overall, the best way to find out the food that is best for your koi fish is to research and compare products. You will never know if you don't educate yourself. After learning the proper way to care for your koi fish they are sure to live a long and productive life.
