Translation: A Revelation from (Allah), 4463 Most Gracious, Most
Merciful;-
Commentary:
4463 In the last Surah (40:2-3) the revelation was described with reference to
some of the qualities of Allah from Whom it came. Here it is described mainly
with reference to its subject matter. (1) It brings the Message of Grace and Mercy;
(2) it is not merely a book of Dark Sayings, but everything is explained clearly and
from various points of view; (3) it is in Arabic, the language of the people among
whom it was first promulgated, and therefore easily intelligible to them if they take
the trouble to understand; and (4) it opens the way to Forgiveness through
Repentance and gives warning of all spiritual Dangers.
