Verse and interpretation
God Almighty said
But God bears witness to what was revealed to you
He sent it down with His knowledge and the angels bear witness
God is sufficient as a witness
With us, He revealed it with His knowledge
That is, this book is the Qur’an
It contains the knowledge of God, which He wanted to introduce into worship
In it are clear proofs, guidance, and the Criterion
It contains what God loves and is pleased with
What he hates and rejects
It contains knowledge of the unseen from the past and the future
It contains mention of God's holy attributes
What neither a sent prophet nor a close angel knows
Unless God knows it
As God Almighty said
They do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills
And he said
They do not take note of it
On the authority of Ata’ bin Al-Sa’ib, he said:
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami taught me the Qur’an
Whenever one of us recited the Qur’an to him, Abu Abd al-Rahman used to recite the Qur’an to him
He told him
You have received God's knowledge
No one is better than you except by work
Then he reads
But God bears witness to what was revealed to you
He sent it down with His knowledge and the angels bear witness
God is sufficient as a witness
And the meaning
The memorizer of the Qur’an is the one who knows it
I know the best people
No one is better than him
Except for those who combine this knowledge
Hard work
Whoever increases the work
Increased in credit
We ask God for His grace
