Surah 69

It is not the word of a poet: little is that you believe!

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller): little is that you remember!

This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

And if he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allâh جل جلاله),

We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),

And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),

And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him.

And verily, this (Qur’an) is a Reminder for the Muttaqûn (the pious. See V.2:2).

And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur’ân). (Tafsir At-Tabarî)

And indeed it (this Qur’ân) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).[2]

And verily, it (this Qur’ân) is an absolute truth with certainty.[3]

So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.[4]
