Allah says to His Prophet Muhammad :
[قُلْ]
(Say) O Muhammad to these disbelievers concerning what you have brought to
them of this Glorious Qur'an:
[ءَامِنُواْ بِهِ
أَوْ لاَ تُؤْمِنُواْ]
("Believe in it (the Qur'an) or do not believe (in it).) meaning, it is all
the same whether you believe in it or not, for it is true in and of itself. It
was revealed by Allah, Who mentioned it previously in the Books that He revealed
to other Messengers. Hence He says:
[إِنَّ الَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِ]
(Verily, those who were given knowledge before it,) meaning righteous people
among the People of the Book, who adhered to their Books and appreciated them
without distorting them.
[إِذَا يُتْلَى
عَلَيْهِمْ]
(when it is recited to them,) means, when this Qur'an is recited to them,
[يَخِرُّونَ
لِلاٌّذْقَانِ سُجَّدًا]
(fall down on their chins (faces) in humble prostration. ) means, to Allah,
in gratitude for the blessing He has bestowed on them by considering them fit to
live until they met this Messenger to whom this Book was revealed. Hence they
say:
[سُبْحَانَ
رَبِّنَآ]
(Glory be to our Lord!), meaning, they extol and glorify their Lord for His
perfect power and for not delaying the fulfillment of the promise which He made
through His earlier Prophets, that He would send Muhammad . Hence they said:
[سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَآ
إِن كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولاً]
(Glory be to our Lord! Truly, the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled.)
[وَيَخِرُّونَ
لِلاٌّذْقَانِ يَبْكُونَ]
(And they fall down on their chins (faces) weeping) means, in submission to
Allah, may He be glorified, and in expression of their belief and faith in His
Book and His Messenger .
[وَيَزِيدُهُمْ
خُشُوعًا]
(and it increases their humility.) means, it increases them in faith and
submission. As Allah says:
[وَالَّذِينَ
اهْتَدَوْاْ زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَءَاتَـهُمْ تَقُوَاهُمْ ]
(While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and
bestows on them their Taqwa. ) (47:17).
[وَيَخِرُّونَ]
(And they fall down) is a description rather than an action (i.e., this is a
further description of their humility as referred to in Ayah 107; it does not
imply that they prostrate twice).
[قُلِ ادْعُواْ
اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُواْ الرَّحْمَـنَ أَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُواْ فَلَهُ الاٌّسْمَآءَ
الْحُسْنَى وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ
ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً - وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَم
يَكُنْ لَّهُ شَرِيكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ وَلِىٌّ مَّنَ الذُّلِّ
وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًا ]
(110. Say: "Invoke Allah or invoke Ar-Rahman (the Most Gracious), by whatever
name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names. And
offer your Salah (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way
between.) (111. And say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not
begotten a son, and Who has no partner in (His) dominion, nor is He low to have
a supporter. And magnify Him with all magnificence.'')
