lām rā’: God knows best what He means by these [letters]. Those, namely, these
signs, are the signs of the wise Book, that is, the Qur’ān (the genitive

among the verses of the Book’]), which has been made clear.

Have
the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them,
[saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that
they will have a [firm] precedence of honor with their Lord"? [But] the
disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Is
it for the people, the people of Mecca (this interrogative is meant as a
disavowal; the preposition [li-, ‘for’] and its dependent genitive noun
[al-nās, ‘the people’] constitute a circumstantial qualifier of His saying): a
wonder (‘ajaban: read in the accusative as a predicate of kāna; or if read in
the nominative [‘ajabun] as its subject: its predicate, which is also its
subject if read according to the former [accusative] reading, is [the
following, an awhaynā]) that We have inspired a man from among them, Muhammad
(s), [saying] (an, ‘that’, is explicative): ‘Warn, threaten, the people, the
disbelievers, with chastisement, and give good tidings to those who believe
that they have a prior, a preceding, [promise of] truth with their Lord’?, that
is a [preceding] fair reward, in return for the deeds they have sent forward.
The disbelievers say, ‘Truly this, Qur’ān that comprises all of that
[mentioned], is manifest sorcery’: a variant reading [for la-sihrun] has
la-sāhirun, ‘a sorcerer’, where it is the Prophet (s) to whom they are
referring [as being ‘a manifest sorcerer’].

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Truly
your Lord is God Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, of the days
of this world, that is, in the same measure [of time], since there was no sun
or moon then: had He willed He could have created them in an instant, but the
reason for His not having done so is that He wanted to teach His creatures to
be circumspect; then He presided upon the Throne, a presiding befitting of Him,
directing affairs, among creatures. There is no (mā min indicates a relative
clause) intercessor, to intercede for anyone, save after His permission: a
refutation of their saying, ‘The idols intercede for us!’; that, Creator and
Director, is God, your Lord, so worship Him, affirm His Oneness. Will you not

Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may

who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment
for what they used to deny.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
To
Him, exalted be He, is the return of all of you: God’s promise, in truth (both
[wa‘da and haqqan] are verbal nouns, and in the accusative because of the verbs
implicit in them). Truly He (read innahu as a new sentence, or annahu with an implied
lām [sc. li-annahu, ‘Because He’] originates creation, that is, He began it by
originating [it], then recreates it, through resurrection, that He may requite,
reward, those who believe and perform righteous deeds, justly. And those who
disbelieve, for them will be a draught of boiling water and a painful
chastisement because they disbelieved.

accusative ajalahum [sc. la-qadā ajalahum, ‘He would have already concluded

those, who do not expect to encounter Us, to wander blindly in their insolence,
hesistant and perplexed.

If
misfortune, illness or poverty, should befall a, disbelieving, man, he calls

passes on, in his unbelief, as if (ka-an is softened, its subject omitted, in
other words [read as] ka-annahu) he had never called upon Us because of a
misfortune that befell him. So, in the same way that supplication during
misfortune and abstention [from supplication] in times of comfort were adorned
for him, is adorned for the prodigal, the idolaters, that which they do.

originally tazayyanat, but the tā’ has been substituted with the zāy and assimilated
with it) and its inhabitants think that they are masters of it, fully capable
of harvesting its fruits, Our command, Our decree or Our chastisement, comes
upon it by night or day, and We make it, that is, its crops, as reaped corn,

deaf] because they are not able to benefit from what is recited to them — even

reflect?

And

says]: It is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts within the
breasts [Q. 22:46].

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
on the day when He shall gather them, it is, as if they had not tarried, in
this world, or in the grave, but an hour of the day, because of the terror of
what they see (the comparative sentence is a circumstantial qualifier referring
to the [third person] pronoun); recognising one another, knowing one another,
upon their being resurrected, but thereafter the recognition ceases on account
of the severity of the terrors (the [last] sentence is either an implied
circumstantial qualifier or one connected to the adverbial qualifier [yawma,
‘on the day’]); those will verily have lost who denied the encounter with God,
through resurrection, for they were not guided.

admonishing you, by the signs of God, in God have I put my trust; so decide

your associates (wa-shurakā’akum: the wāw [wa-] means here ‘with’), then let

proclaim it to me; then implement it against me, carry out what you desire, and
