The Consultation · Juz 25 · Page 489
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحٗا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِي مَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِن جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُورٗا نَّهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٥٢
And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path -

Commentary on 42:52
﴿وَكَذَلِكَ﴾ أيْ: كَما أوْحَيْنا إلى الرُسُلِ قَبْلَكَ، أوْ كَما وصَفْنا لَكَ،
﴿أوْحَيْنا إلَيْكَ﴾، إيحاءً كَذَلِكَ،
﴿رُوحًا مِن أمْرِنا﴾، يُرِيدُ: ما أوْحى إلَيْهِ، لِأنَّ الخَلْقَ يَحْيَوْنَ بِهِ في دِينِهِمْ، كَما يَحْيا الجَسَدُ بِالرُوحِ،
﴿ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي﴾، اَلْجُمْلَةُ حالٌ مِنَ الكافِ في "إلَيْكَ"،
﴿ما الكِتابُ﴾، اَلْقُرْآنُ،
﴿وَلا الإيمانُ﴾ أيْ: شَرائِعُهُ، أوْ: ولا الإيمانُ بِالكِتابِ، لِأنَّهُ إذا كانَ لا يَعْلَمُ بِأنَّ الكِتابَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ عالِمًا بِذَلِكَ الكِتابِ، وقِيلَ: اَلْإيمانُ يَتَناوَلُ أشْياءَ، بَعْضُها الطَرِيقُ إلَيْهِ العَقْلُ، (p-٢٦٣)وَبَعْضُها الطَرِيقُ إلَيْهِ السَمْعُ، فَعَنى بِهِ ما الطَرِيقُ إلَيْهِ السَمْعُ، دُونَ العَقْلِ، وذاكَ ما كانَ لَهُ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ، حَتّى كَسَبَهُ بِالوَحْيِ،
﴿وَلَكِنْ جَعَلْناهُ﴾ أيْ: اَلْكِتابَ،
﴿نُورًا نَهْدِي بِهِ مَن نَشاءُ مِن عِبادِنا وإنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي﴾، لَتَدْعُو، وقُرِئَ بِهِ،
﴿إلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ﴾، اَلْإسْلامِ.

42:53
صِرَٰطِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ ٥٣
The path of Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allāh do [all] matters evolve [i.e., return].

43:2
وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ٢
By the clear Book,
43:3
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَٰنًا عَرَبِيّٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ٣
Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur’ān that you might understand.
43:4
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِيٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ٤
And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book1 with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.2
43:5
أَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا أَن كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّسۡرِفِينَ ٥
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
43:6
وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٦
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
43:7
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٧
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
43:8
فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨
And We destroyed greater than them1 in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

43:9
وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٩
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,"
43:10
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٠
[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
