| Asad | VERILY, [O believer,] He who has laid down this Quran in plain terms, making it binding on thee, [According to Mujahid (as quoted by Tabari), the phrase farada alayka is almost synonymous with ataka, "He gave [it] to thee". This, however, elucidates only one part of the above complex expression, which, I believe, has here a meaning similar to that of faradnaha ("We laid it down in plain terms") occurring in the first verse of surah 24 An-Nur) and explained in the corresponding note. In the present context, the particle alayka ("upon thee"}, with its pronominal suffix, gives to the above clause the additional meaning of a moral obligation on the part of the recipient of the Quranic message to conform his or her way of life to its teachings; hence my compound rendering of the phrase.] will assuredly bring thee back [from death] to a life renewed. [The term maad denotes, literally, "a place [or "a state"] to which one returns", and, tropically, one's "ultimate destination" or "ultimate condition"; in the present context, it is obviously synonymous with "life in the hereafter". This is how most of the classical authorities interpret the above phrase. But on the vague assumption that this passage is addressed exclusively to the Prophet, some commentators incline to the view that the noun has here a specific, purely physical connotation - "a place of return" - allegedly referring to God's promise to His Apostle (given during or after the latter's exodus from Mecca to Medina) that one day he would return victoriously to the city of his birth. To my mind, however, the passage has a much deeper meaning, unconnected with any place or specific point in history: it is addressed to every believer, and promises not only a continuation of life after bodily death but also a spiritual rebirth, in this world, to anyone who opens his heart to the message of the Quran and comes to regard it as binding on himself.] Say [unto those who reject the truth]: My Sustainer knows best, as to who is right-guided [Lit., "as to who comes with guidance".] and who is obviously lost in error!" |
