34. The word ‘Laa’ used here is to contradict the thought of the deniers. It is to say that your imagination that there will be no Resurrection is not correct. It is against reality.

35. The oath is in the sense of testimony. It means the signs of the occurrence of the Day of Judgment or Resurrection (Qiyamat) are very obvious in whatever you see. The Holy Quran has also explained them in detail. Regarding the things which are invisible to you now, the information has been given to you by the Holy Book. (for example angels, paradise, hell etc). Certainty about the Resurrection is created by pondering over these unseen things.

36. That is, these are the words uttered by Jibreel who is an honourable message-courier of Almighty Allah. In his capacity of the Divine Courier he is revealing God’s Word to His Prophet. This attribute about angel Jibraeel has been mentioned in Surah Takveer (ayah:19) also.

37. The Word being presented by the prophet is the Message brought by Jibraeel. It is no poetry.

38. It means you accept a part of Faith and leave some of it. The words of Quran, being the Truth, do appeal your conscience and they also create certainty in your hearts. But overwhelming worldly wishes and desires come in the way of your acceptance.

39. The explanation of ‘Kahin’ (sooth-sayer) has been given in Surah Shu’ara, Note: 180.

40. Quran is neither the whims of a poet nor the murmer of a sooth-sayer. But it is the word of God revealed to the Holy Prophet by the arch angel Jibraeel.

41. The prophet, while remaining on the high position held by him, can never attribute any false thing to God. He is responsible for conveying God’s Word as it is to people. Had he added anything of his own to the Divine word it would have been a big offence and a misuse of his position and hence WE would have killed him then and there so that people may not be misled. A picture of this punishment has been so drawn as if a king holds the hand of his courier who had attributed falsity to him, and then mows down his neck. This punishment is for him who may, despite being a prophet, make up something himself and then attribute it to God. However it does not mean that a false claimant to prophethood will get such punishment instantly and that if a liar does not get this punishment at once it is a proof of his being true. No such thing has been Said in this ayah. Hence the false imposters to prophethood cannot get any shelter thereby. What to talk of false claimants to prophet, some liars have claimed to be God too! Some have even abused God!! But Allah gives them time so that their cup of sins may be filled to brim.

42. That is the Holy Quran.

43. The unbelievers will repent on the Day of Resurrection and will realise that they made a very big mistake by disbelieving in the Holy Quran.

44. It means this Quran which enlightens us about the Resurrection presents a total and certain truth which is beyond any doubt. Why then don’t you accept it?

45. This is a Guidance to the Holy Prophet and, through him, to his followers that when truth has been described here in this Surah, do not care for the talks of the disbelievers and get engaged in the worship and hallowing of your LORD.
