The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (( Ham * A revelation from the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy * A Book whose verses have been detailed, a Qur'an in Arabic for a people who know ))

Among the benefits of these verses is that the revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, as He said:
And among its benefits is that the sending down of the Qur'an is from the manifestations of the mercy of Allah, where He said:
And among its benefits is the affirmation of two of the names of Allah, namely al-Rahman (the Most Merciful) and al-Rahim (the Bestower of Mercy).
And among its benefits is the affirmation of what these two names indicate regarding the attribute of mercy. We mentioned in the exegesis that the people of denial (ta'til) denied that Allah has mercy. Did we not say this? And we said: They interpret mercy either as doing good and reward, which is separate, or as the will to do good and reward, because they used to affirm the will. We clarified the invalidity of this statement and that the correct view is that mercy is among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but it is not like the mercy of the created beings.
And among the benefits of these verses is that the verses of the Qur'an have been detailed. The detailing, perhaps we said, is both linguistic and semantic. The linguistic detailing is through the pauses between the verses, and the semantic detailing is through the detailing in meaning: when Allah the Exalted mentions a command, He mentions a prohibition; when He mentions reward, He mentions punishment; when He mentions the people of good, He mentions the people of evil, and so on, in pairs.
And among the benefits of these noble verses is that every verse of the Qur'an is considered a proof of the truthfulness of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as He said: This is a plural that encompasses every individual separately and encompasses the whole.
And among its benefits is that the Qur'an was revealed in the Arabic language, so in it is a merit for the Arabs, because this Qur'an was revealed in their language. And in it is the revival of the Arabic language, because this Qur'an will remain until Allah permits the destruction of the world. And it is known that if it remains in the Arabic tongue, the Arabic language will live and remain. This is among the effects of the Qur'an, as Abdullah Awad says. What did I say?
The student: ... the century means ... that the Qur'an will remain until Allah permits the destruction of the world, and this is evidence that the Arabic language will remain alive.
The Shaykh : Did I say it like that? No, no, this is not the meaning. We mentioned that in this is a merit for the Arabs, is it not, where it was revealed in their language, and that in it is the revival and preservation of the Arabic language, because it was revealed in it and it remains until Allah permits the destruction of the world.
And among the benefits of this noble verse is that one does not understand this Qur'an, even if it is in the Arabic language, except those who possess knowledge, as He said: As for the one who is not a person of knowledge, he does not benefit from this Book at all, because he is unlettered. And the one who reads the Qur'an without understanding the meaning is unlettered, even if he recites it, as Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:78] So the one who does not know the Qur'an except by reading only is like the one who does not read the Qur'an, and there is no difference.
The revelation is from the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
