Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 26 Ash-Shu'ara, Ayat 193-193

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوۡحُ الۡاَمِيۡنُۙ‏ ﴿26:193﴾

(26:193) which the truthful spirit120 has carried down


Notes

120. That is, Angel Gabriel, as mentioned in (Surah Al- Baqarah, Ayat 97): Say to them: Whosoever is the enemy to Gabriel, he should understand that he has, by Allah’s command, revealed to your heart the Quran. Here the object of using the title of the trustworthy Spirit for Gabriel implies that the Quran is not being sent down by Allah through some material agency, which is subject to change and vacillation; but through a pure Spirit, having no tinge of materialism, and who is perfectly trustworthy. This Spirit conveys the messages of Allah precisely in the same form and with the same content as they are entrusted to him. It is not possible for him to tamper with the messages, or to make his own additions to them in any way.
