The
revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
revelation of the Book, the Qur’ān (tanzīlu’l-kitābi, the subject) is from God
(mina’Llāhi, its predicate) the Mighty, in His kingdom, the Wise, in His
handiwork.
إِنَّا

Translation
Indeed,
We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muhammad], in truth. So worship Allah ,
[being] sincere to Him in religion.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Indeed
We have revealed to you, O Muhammad (s), the Book with the truth (bi’l-haqqi is
semantically connected to anzalnā, ‘We have revealed’); so worship God,
devoting your religion purely to Him, [pure] of any idolatry, in other words,
affirming His Oneness.
أَلَا لِلَّهِ

أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ

Translation
Unquestionably,
for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him
[say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in
position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over
which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and
[confirmed] disbeliever.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Surely
to God belongs pure religion, none other than Him being deserving of it. And
those who take besides Him, the idols [as], patrons: and they are the
disbelievers of Mecca — they say: ‘We only worship them so that they may bring
us near to God’ (zulfā, a verbal noun, with the sense of taqrīban, ‘for the
sake of nearness’). God will indeed judge between them, and the Muslims,
concerning that about which they differ, of religion, and so admit the
believers into Paradise, and the disbelievers into the Fire. Truly God does not
guide one who is a liar, attributing a child to Him, a disbeliever, worshipping
other than God.
لَّوْ أَرَادَ
اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ ۖ هُوَ اللَّهُ

Pronunciation

Translation
If
Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates
whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah , the One, the Prevailing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Had
God wanted to take a son — as they allege [that He has], ‘The Compassionate One
has taken [to Himself] a son’ [Q. 19:88], He could have chosen from what He has
created whatever He willed, and taken it as a child, instead of the angels whom
they claim to be God’s daughters, or [their claim] that ‘Ezra is the son of
God’, or that ‘Jesus is the son of God’ [cf. Q. 9:30]. Glory be to Him, in
exaltation of Him as being above that He should take a child. He is God, the
One, the All-Compelling, over all His creatures.

He
created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and
wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each
running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in
Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He
created the heavens and the earth with the truth (bi’l-haqqi is semantically
connected to khalaqa, ‘He created’). He turns the night into day, so that it
grows, and turns the day into night, so that it grows, and He has disposed the
sun and the moon, each running, in its course, for an appointed term, until the
Day of Resurrection. Verily it is He Who is the Mighty, Whose way [always]
prevails, Requiter of His enemies, the [ever] Forgiving, of His friends.

Translation
He
created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for
you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your
mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah , your
Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you
averted?
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He
created you from a single soul, namely, Adam, then made from it its mate, Eve;
and He sent down for you of the cattle, [of] camels, cows, small cattle, sheep
and goats, eight kinds, of each kind a male and a female — as He makes clear in
sūrat al-An‘ām [Q. 6:143f.]. He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, creation
after creation, that is to say, as a sperm-drop, then a blood clot, then a
foetus, in a threefold darkness, that is, the darkness of the belly, that of
the womb and that of the placenta. That is God, your Lord. To Him belongs [all]
sovereignty. There is no god except Him. Why then are you being turned away?,
from worshipping Him to worshipping [things] other than Him?

If
you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not
approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for
you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your
Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed,
He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
If
you are ungrateful, indeed God is Independent of you, though He does not
approve of ingratitude for His servants, even if He should will it [to manifest
itself] in some of them. And if you give thanks, to God and thus become
believers, He will approve of it (read yardah, or yardahu, either lengthening
the vowel or not), that is, [of such] thankfulness, for you. And no burdened
soul shall bear the burden of another [soul], in other words, it will not bear
[the responsibility for] it. Then to your Lord will be your return, whereat He
will inform you of what you used to do. Indeed He is Knower of what is in the breasts,
of what is in the hearts [of men].

And
when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone];
then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called
upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His
way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the
companions of the Fire."
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
when distress befalls a person, that is, the disbeliever, he supplicates his
Lord, he implores, turning, returning, to Him penitently. Then, when He bestows
on him a grace from Himself, he forgets, he neglects, Him Whom he had
supplicated, implored, before, namely, God (in other words mā functions as min,
‘whom’) and sets up equals, associates, with God, that he may lead [others]
astray (read li-yadilla or li-yudilla) from His way — [from] the religion of
Islam. Say: ‘Revel in your ingratitude for a while — for the remainder of your
term [of life]. You shall indeed be among the inhabitants of the Fire’.

Or
is he who (read, softened, a-man) devotes himself [in worship], observing
duties of obedience, in the watches of the night, [during] its hours,
prostrating and standing, in prayer, apprehensive of the [eventuality of the]
Hereafter, in other words, fearing its chastisement, and hoping for the mercy,
the Paradise, of his Lord … ?, like one who is disobedient through disbelief or
otherwise? (a variant reading has am-man, pronouncing the hamza, so that am has
the sense of bal, ‘rather’). Say: ‘Are those who know equal with those who do
not know?’, in other words, they are not equal, just as the person of knowledge
is not equal to the ignorant one. Only people of pith, possessors of intellect,
remember, [only they] are admonished.

dried-out, and you see them, for example, after having been green, turning
yellow. Then He turns them into chaff. Truly in that there is a reminder for
people of pith, possessors of intellect, by which they may be reminded, for it
is an indication of God’s Oneness and His power.

has revealed the best of discourses, a Book (kitāban, substitutes for ahsana,
‘the best’) namely, a Qur’ān, consimilar, in other words, some of its parts are
similar to others in terms of [their] arrangement and otherwise, in coupled
phrases — [a Book] in which the Promise [of reward] is coupled with the Threat
[of punishment], together with other such [couplings] — whereat quiver, at the
mention of whose Threat shiver, the skins of those who fear their Lord; then
their skins and their hearts soften to, they are reassured by, the remembrance
of God, that is, at the mention of His Promise. That, Book, is God’s guidance,
by which He guides whomever He will, of His servants; and whomever God leads
astray, for him there is no guide.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Is
he who will be fending off, [is he] who will encounter, with his face the awful
chastisement on the Day of Resurrection …?, that is, the most severe
[chastisement], when he is flung into the Fire with his hands bound to his neck
in fetters, [is he] like one who will be secure from it by entering Paradise?
And it will be said to the wrongdoers, namely, the disbelievers of Mecca:
‘Taste [now] what you used to earn’, that is, [taste] the requital for it.

God made them taste disgrace, abasement and humiliation, in the way of being
transformed [into swine] and being killed and otherwise, in the life of this
world. And the chastisement of the Hereafter will surely be greater, had they,
that is, the deniers, known, [the nature of] the chastisement thereof, they
would not have denied.

Allah

exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah ! But
most of them do not know.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
God
strikes, for the idolater and the believer in God’s Oneness, a similitude: a
man (rajulan, substitutes for mathalan, ‘a similitude’) shared by several
[masters], quarrelling, disputing, ill-mannered, and a man belonging
exclusively to one man. Are the two equal in comparison? (mathalan, for
specification), in other words, the slave of many [masters] is not the same as
the slave of a single person. For in the case of the former, if all of his
masters were to demand his service simultaneously, he would be confused as to
whom of them he should serve — which is the similitude of the idolater; the
latter [the slave of one] is the similitude of the one who believes in the One
God. Praise be to God!, alone. Nay, but most of them, that is, the people of
Mecca, do not know, the chastisement in which they will end up and so they
associate others with God.

the soul [containing the force] of life is able to remain [temporarily] — but
this cannot be the other way round. Truly in that, mentioned, there are signs,
indications, for a people who reflect, and then realise that the One with the
power to do this also has the power to resurrect — Quraysh, however, never
reflected on this [fact].
