CH. 25 PT. 18 ركوعاتها ٦ سُورَةُ الْفُرْقَانِ مَيْتَةُ ٢٥ ہاتھا ٧٨ بسمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ (AL-FURQAN) 1. "In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2640 تَبْرَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ Blessed is He Who has sent. 2 down the Discrimination to His servant, that he may be Warner to all the worlds- 2640. Commentary: See 1:1. 2641. Commentary: 2641 a "Seel:1. The word means, highly exalted, far removed from every defect, impurity, imperfection, or from everything derogatory, and possessing abundant good (6:156 & 24:36). This attribute has been very appropriately used in connection with the revelation of the Quran as it possesses all the qualities and attributes implicit in this word. The Quran is not only completely free from every defect and imperfection but possesses all the conceivable excellent qualities that the last Divine Law for the whole of mankind must possess and it possesses qualities in an abundant measure. these The word (Discrimination) is applied to something which differentiates between what is true and what is false. It also means an argument, a proof, or evidence, because an argument or a proof also serves to discriminate between right and wrong. The word also means, morning or dawn, because dawn لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَلَمِيْنَ نَذِيرَان distinguishes the day from night. It also means, aid or support, because a person who receives help and support from another person becomes marked from him against whom help is sought to be given. See also 2:54. The Quran has been called "The Discrimination" in the verse under comment because it possesses all the various qualities and attributes which flow from the root from which the word has been derived. Among the multifarious and multitudinous beauties and excellences that distinguish the Quran from other revealed books and which establish its superiority over them all, two stand out most marked, viz. it makes no statement or claim in support of which it does not bring forward sound and solid proofs and arguments, and it makes truth so distinguishable from falsehood as day is from night. The Quran has been called in the verse under comment while, in the preceding chapter, Divine revelation had been compared to (light) because the functions of both and are the same. Both mark out truth from 2302
