Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Hadid 57:9

Word by word

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦٓ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

It is He who sends down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] verses of clear evidence that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And indeed, Allāh is to you Kind and Merciful.

هو الذي ينزل على عبده محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم آيات مفصلات واضحات من القرآن؛ ليخرجكم بذلك من ظلمة الكفر إلى نور الإيمان، إن الله بكم في إخراجكم من الظلمات إلى النور لَيَرْحمكم رحمة واسعة في عاجلكم وآجلكم، فيجازيكم أحسن الجزاء.
