Allah’s promise to His Prophet to teach him the Qur’an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a promise from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that He will teach him the Qur’an and that the Messenger will not forget it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be impatient when Jibril came to deliver the revelation to him.So Allah said to him: [Al-Qiyamah: 16-19], so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would listen until Jibril finished reciting the revelation, and then he would recite it.
And here He says: [Al-A'la: 6-7] meaning: except what Allah wills for you to forget,For the matter is in His hand, as He (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Ra'd: 39] and He said: [Al-Baqarah: 106-107] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might forget a verse from the Book of Allah the Exalted, but he would quickly remember it (peace and blessings be upon him).
and His saying, the Exalted: [Al-A'la: 7] meaning: that Allah the Exalted knows what a person says aloud and speaks audibly [Al-A'la: 7] meaning: what is hidden and not apparent,For Allah knows it, as He the Exalted said: [Qaf: 16] so He (Mighty and Majestic) knows the open and also knows what is hidden.
(16) Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an. (17) Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. (18) So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation. (19) Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
لا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ * إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ * فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ * ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُAnd here He says:
(6) We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget, (7) Except what Allah should will.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلا تَنسَى * إِلَاّ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُAllah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.
يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ(106) We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent? (107) Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allah any protector or any helper?
