تَنۡزِيۡلُ الۡكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ
(39:1) The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most
Wise.1
1. This is a brief introduction to the Surah which only stresses the point
that the Quran is not Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) word, as the disbelievers
assert, but it is Allah’s Word, which He Himself has sent down. Along with this,
two of Allah's attributes have been mentioned to warn the listeners of two realities
so that they do not underestimate this Word but understand its full importance:
(1) That Allah Who has sent it down, is All-Mighty; that is, He is so powerful
that no power can prevent His will and decisions from being enforced and none
can dare resist Him in any way. (2) That He is All-wise; that is, the guidance
He is giving in this Book, is wholly based on wisdom, and only an ignorant and
foolish person can turn away from it. (For further explanation, see
(E.N. 1 of Surah As-Sajdah).
