አንቀጽ: 1

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ

1. Saad¹. By the Qur’an, full of Admonition².

1. The Qur’an is made up of such letter from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unrivalled masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Despite this fact, the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best the meaning of these disjointed Arabic letters.
2. That the matter is not as the pagans assume that God has partners with Him.

አንቀጽ: 2

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ

4. They (the pagans) wonder that there has come to them a warner (Muhammad) from among themselves. The deniers said: "This is a sorcerer, a liar."³

3. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, performed many miracles because He was the last and final messenger of God to all mankind, but yet this did not convince the pagans who declared that they rather die than to let someone change their lives and ancestral customs of idol worshipping. Despite that the Prophet Muhammad was able to open the eyes of the blind, and the ears of the deaf to the Truth through the great miracle, the Qur’an, that God revealed to him. But the eminent ones of the deniers insisted in their worshipping of the idols.

አንቀጽ: 5

أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ

5. Has he (Muhammad) condemned all other gods except One (the Supreme) God (of perfect and absolute Oneness - Allah)? This is certainly a strange thing.

7. We never heard of (a claim like) this in any faith of latter days⁵. This is nothing but the invention (of a mortal man).

5. Referring to the faith of Jesus or possibly the pagan religion.

አንቀጽ: 8

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ

8. Has the Reminder (the Qur’an) been sent down to him (alone) from among us?" Rather, they are in doubt as to My reminder. Rather, they have not yet tasted My torment.

جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ

11. (They will be) defeated armies (all), like the allies (of disbelievers) of old times.

አንቀጽ: 12

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

12. Before them, the people of Noah, ‘Aad, and Pharaoh, who possessed mighty armies and a great kingdom, rejected (the messengers of God).

21. Has there come to you the story of the disputants, when they climbed the walls of the prayer room (of David)?

አንቀጽ: 22

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ خَصۡمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعۡضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَٱهۡدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ

22. When they entered in upon David, he was frightened of them, they said: "Fear not." We are two disputants, of whom one has acted wrongfully towards the other, so judge between us with truth and do not act unjustly, and guide us to the right path.

24. (David) said: "He has certainly been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes. Most partners act wrongfully towards one another, except those who believe (in Allah) and do good deeds, and they are very few." David realized that We had tried him, so he sought the forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing and turned (to Allah) in repentance.

አንቀጽ: 25

26. David, We have made you a ruler on earth⁹; so judge between the people with justice and do not follow (your own) desire, lest it should lead you astray from the Way of Allah. Those who go astray from the Way of Allah (i.e., Islam) they will suffer a severe torment as they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

አንቀጽ: 27

65.Say (Muhammad): "I am only a warner¹⁴, and there is no (true) God except Allah, the One, the Subduer (of All),

14. While warnings might not always provoke positive thoughts or feelings, they often serve to spare us from unnecessary hardships and pain. In fact, the act of warning others is actually a demonstration of familial love and care for the people. The Prophet Muhammad warned us of associating partners with Allah and sins, of killing, the danger associated with sexual immorality, unkind words that is, speech that is destructive and not redemptive toward others, ungodliness, rather to live a sensible and righteous life before Allah (God), he warned us of stealing, and, instead, advised to work for the things that we need in this life. He warned us of the threat that the devil poses to the people. They must resist the devil and draw near to Allah. The Muslim highest allegiance must be to Allah and Allah alone. In keeping with the last warning, The Prophet Muhammad addressed us to humble ourselves before Allah and to do nothing that is motivated by selfishness, but rather in humility considering others as more important, and our need to submit to Allah and humble ourselves before Him, so that we might be exalted by Allah. Allah gives grace to the humble ones. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, the right response is always humility before Allah.
