[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
[الر تِلْكَ ءايَـتُ
الْكِتَـبِ الْحَكِيمِ - أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَى رَجُلٍ
مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ النَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ ءامَنُواْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ
قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ الْكَـفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـذَا لَسَـحِرٌ
مُّبِينٌ ]
(1. Alif-Lam-Ra. These are the verses of the Book (the Qur'an) Al-Hakim.) (2.
Is it a wonder for mankind that We have sent Our revelation to a man from among
themselves (saying): "Warn mankind, and give good news to those who believe that
they shall have with their Lord the rewards of their good deeds'' (But) the
disbelievers say: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!'') The isolated letters
in the beginning of this Surah, as well as in others, have been previously
discussed at the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah. Allah said:
[تِلْكَ ءاَيَـتُ
الْكِتَـبِ الْحَكِيمِ ]
(These are the verses of the Book (the Qur'an) Al-Hakim.) This indicates that
these are verses of the Qur'an, in which the wisdom of judgment is clear.
