Commentary on 17:108
﴿وَيَقُولُونَ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إنْ كانَ وعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولا﴾ لِقَوْلِهِ ﴿آمِنُوا بِهِ أوْ لا تُؤْمِنُوا﴾ [الإسراء: ١٠٧] أيْ: أعْرِضْ عَنْهم فَإنَّهم إنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ ولَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا بِالقُرْآنِ فَإنَّ خَيْرًا مِنهم وهُمُ العُلَماءُ الَّذِينَ قَرَءُوا الكُتُبَ قَدْ آمَنُوا بِهِ وصَدَّقُوهُ فَإذا تُلِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وسَبَّحُوا اللهَ تَعْظِيمًا لِأمْرِهِ ولِإنْجازِهِ ما وعَدَ في الكُتُبِ المُنَزَّلَةِ وبَشَّرَ بِهِ مِن بَعْثَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وإنْزالِ القُرْآنِ عَلَيْهِ وهو المُرادُ بِالوَعْدِ المَذْكُورِ "إنْ" بِمَعْنى "إنَّهُ" وهي تُؤَكِّدُ الفِعْلَ كَما أنَّ إنَّ تُؤَكِّدُ الِاسْمَ وكَما أُكِّدَتْ إنَّ بِاللامِ في "إنَّهم لَمُحْضَرُونَ تَأكَّدَتْ "إنْ" بِاللامِ في لَمَفْعُولًا.

وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا ١٠٥
And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
17:106
وَقُرۡءَانٗا فَرَقۡنَٰهُ لِتَقۡرَأَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكۡثٖ وَنَزَّلۡنَٰهُ تَنزِيلٗا ١٠٦
And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.
17:107
قُلۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦٓ إِذَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ يَخِرُّونَۤ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ ١٠٧
Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it1 - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration,

17:110
قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَۖ أَيّٗا مَّا تَدۡعُواْ فَلَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ وَلَا تَجۡهَرۡ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتۡ بِهَا وَٱبۡتَغِ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلٗا ١١٠
Say, "Call upon Allāh or call upon the Most Merciful [ar-Raḥmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.
17:111
وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمۡ يَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٞ فِي ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِيّٞ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّۖ وَكَبِّرۡهُ تَكۡبِيرَۢا ١١١
And say, "Praise to Allāh, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."
