اِنَّا Indeed We نَحْنُ [We] نَزَّلْنَا [We] revealed عَلَیْكَ to you الْقُرْاٰنَ the Quran تَنْزِیْلًاۚ progressively فَاصْبِرْ So be patient لِحُكْمِ for (the) Command رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord وَ لَا and (do) not تُطِعْ obey مِنْهُمْ from them اٰثِمًا any sinner اَوْ or كَفُوْرًاۚ disbeliever وَ اذْكُرِ And remember اسْمَ (the) name رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord بُكْرَةً morning وَّ اَصِیْلًاۖۚ and evening 76. Al-Insan Page 580 وَ مِنَ And of الَّیْلِ the night فَاسْجُدْ prostrate لَهٗ to Him وَ سَبِّحْهُ and glorify Him لَیْلًا a night طَوِیْلًا long اِنَّ Indeed هٰۤؤُلَآءِ these یُحِبُّوْنَ love الْعَاجِلَةَ the immediate وَ یَذَرُوْنَ and leave وَرَآءَهُمْ behind them یَوْمًا a Day ثَقِیْلًا grave نَحْنُ We خَلَقْنٰهُمْ created them وَ شَدَدْنَاۤ and We strengthened اَسْرَهُمْ ۚ their forms وَ اِذَا and when شِئْنَا We will بَدَّلْنَاۤ We can change اَمْثَالَهُمْ their likeness[es] تَبْدِیْلًا (with) a change اِنَّ Indeed هٰذِهٖ this تَذْكِرَةٌ ۚ (is) a reminder فَمَنْ so whoever شَآءَ wills اتَّخَذَ let him take اِلٰی to رَبِّهٖ his Lord سَبِیْلًا a way وَ مَا And not تَشَآءُوْنَ you will اِلَّاۤ except اَنْ that یَّشَآءَ wills اللّٰهُ ؕ Allah اِنَّ Indeed اللّٰهَ Allah كَانَ is عَلِیْمًا All-Knower حَكِیْمًاۗۖ All-Wise یُّدْخِلُ He admits مَنْ whom یَّشَآءُ He wills فِیْ to رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ His mercy وَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ but (for) the wrongdoers اَعَدَّ He has prepared لَهُمْ for them عَذَابًا a punishment اَلِیْمًا۠ painful
23. (O Messenger!) 33 WE have revealed the Quran to you gradually. 34
24. So await your Lord’s decision 35 and obey not of them any sinner or ungrateful.36
25. Remember the Name of your Lord, morning and evening. 37
26. Also prostrate before Him during night38 and hallow (glorify) Him in long hours of night. 39
27. These people love a fast-gaining world and leave behind them a very Severe Day. 40
28. It is WE Who Have created them and fastened their limb-joints and WE may change their faces whenever WE will. 41
29. This is an admonition. So whoever may wish may take the path leading to His Lord. 42
30. And you cannot wish unless Allah wishes 43 Verily Allah is knowing the wise.
31. HE makes to enter His Mercy whomever He wills 44 and for the wrong doers HE has prepared a torment painful.45
33. Now the address turns toward the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). Divine instructions are being given to him and, through him, to the Muslim [his followers].
34. For explanation please see Surah Bani Israil, note: 140.
35. That is, wait patiently and see what Almighty Allah does to the disbelievers.
36. ‘Aathim’ (offender) means the one who commits impermissible things and ‘Kufoora’ (thankless) means who does not appreciate the Divine bounties.
The meaning of this ayah is that a sinner will tell you to do only sinful deeds and the one who thankless will also deny God’s bounties. So do not be misled by the talks of such people nor submit to their pressure.
Here, though the address is to the Prophet, the original address is to his followers.
37. The commandment to remember Allah’s Good Name in the morning and in the evening is a general one. It means recite God’s Good Names, keeping their meanings in mind every morning and every evening. The best way of doing it is in the morning and evening prayers (Salat).
38. Since sajdah (prostration) is an important part of salat this word (sajdah) is used to indicate salat. What is said is that perform salat during night also.
39. In the beginning, the Holy Prophet was asked to hallow (glorify) Allah in a greater part of the night. Soon after it, it is asked in Surah ‘Muzzammil’ that a large part of night be spent in performing salat. For details please see Surah ‘Muzzammil’, notes 2 and 4.
40. That is, in the eyes of these deniers and disbelievers, the benefits of this world are so dear that they care the least for the Day of Resurrection, though that Day will be very tough one. Every offender will be carrying the load of his sins on his or her own head and will be terribly worried about his or her salvation.
41. When it is WE who have created him and fastened his body joints it is quite possible for US to erase their faces. How do they then forget their is LORD Creator? How and why they are proud of their present shape? Why do they not fear HIM?
Here, also keep in view the ayah 67 and note: 72 of Surah Yaaseen.
42. That is, this Quran is all in all an admonition by accepting which man can adopt the path leading to his Lord.
43. For explanation please see Surah Takveer, note: 30.
44. It is Allah who decides, as per His knowledge and strategy, as to who among His slaves should be admitted to His Mercy.
45. By wrongdoers is meant the deniers of the Unity of Allah (Tawheed), and the Hereafter. Their entire lives became deviated due to this denial and they lost the True Path. To give them a painful punishment is the demand of Divine wisdom and justice. Hence HE has prepared Hell.
