Versículo: 1

طسٓۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَكِتَابٖ مُّبِينٍ

1. Ta Seen¹. These are the recited Verses and a clear Book².

1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unmatched masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Although these disjointed Arabic letters are referring to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best its meaning.
2. Both the Book and the recitation of the Qur’an mentioned here refer to one and the same thing, the Qur’an itself; the Book that was to be and then present recited Verses. Its double mention, as given here, is meant to draw special attention to the evidences it provides to the Truthfulness of the Message.

4. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made fair-seeming to them their deeds, so they wander about blindly.

Versículo: 5

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡأَخۡسَرُونَ

4. Learn to smile. See the humor in life and laugh with joy.

He said: "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you."

The Qur'an and Sunnah focuses our attention on those who not only produce something beautiful but also redirect attention to the Glory of Allāh and teach others.

Allah's word will protect you. You will have wisdom. You will grow in your faith in Allāh. It heals your body. It is your weapon. The Qur’an contains the way of salvation, the misery of sinners, and the happiness of the believers. Its rules are obligatory, its precepts are binding, its histories are true. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be righteous.

Versículo: 93

وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَتَعۡرِفُونَهَاۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
