Commentary on 3:1–2
مائتا آية وهي مدنية
الم قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما: أنا الله أعلم اللَّهُ يعني، هو الله الذي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ الذي لا يموت ولا يزول أبداً.
ويقال الحي الذي لا بادئ له الْقَيُّومُ يعني القائم على كل نفس بما كسبت. ويقال:
القائم بتدبير الخلق.
وروى الضحاك عن ابن عباس أنه قال: الحي قبل كل حي، والحي بعد كل حي، الدائم الذي لا يموت ولا تنقضي عجائبه، والقائم على العباد بأرزاقهم وآجالهم. ويقال: الحي القيوم هو اسم الله الأعظم. ويقال: أن عيسى ابن مريم عليهما السلام، كان إذا أراد أن يُحيي الموتى، يدعو بهذا الاسم يا حي يا قيوم. ويقال: إن آصف بن برخيا لما أراد أن يأتي بعرش بلقيس إلى سليمان- عليه السلام- دعا بقوله يا حي يا قيوم- ويقال: إن بني إسرائيل، سألوا موسى- عليه السلام- عن اسم الله الأعظم فقال لهم: قولوا اهيا- يعني يا حي- شراهيا- يعني يا قيوم- ويقال: هو دعاء أهل البحر إذا خافوا الغرق يدعون به، ثم قال تعالى:

3:3
نَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ ٣
He has sent down upon you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
3:4
مِن قَبۡلُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ ٤
Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh will have a severe punishment, and Allāh is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.1

Indeed, from Allāh nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.
3:6
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٦
It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
3:7
هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۡهُ ءَايَٰتٞ مُّحۡكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٞۖ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٞ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنۡهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ تَأۡوِيلِهِۦۖ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَأۡوِيلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِي ٱلۡعِلۡمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلّٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ رَبِّنَاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٧
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.1 As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding,
