Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Except as a reminder for whoever fears. A revelation from the One who created the earth and the highest heavens."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :[Taha 20:3] Who does he fear? He fears Allah (Mighty and Majestic). "Tanzilan" means that it was revealed gradually in specific intervals. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Furqan 25:32] The answer is meaning We revealed it in that manner, in parts. [Al-Furqan 25:32] With every verse that is revealed, there is a strengthening of the heart. If the Qur'an had been revealed all at once, the strengthening would have been only the first time. But it is revealed gradually. Now, and He the Exalted said: What? [Al-Isra 17:106] For this reason He said "Tanzilan" from the One who [Taha 20:4] Reflect with me for a moment. The norm is that the heavens are mentioned before the earth: the creation of the heavens and the earth. But here the earth is mentioned first to accommodate the rhymes. This is a linguistic benefit. And because the Qur'an was revealed to whom? What? To the people of the earth. So He began with the earth, whose people the Qur'an was revealed for. [Taha 20:4] That is, the lofty, exalted ones. So they are high in place and high in meaning, because the creation of the heavens is more difficult than the creation of the earth, as Allah the Exalted said: [An-Naba 78:12] And He the Exalted said: [Adh-Dhariyat 51:47] That is, with power. [Adh-Dhariyat 51:47-48] So the highest heavens are high in place, or high in place and meaning. High in place and meaning. [Taha 20:4]
