At-Taariq • EN-TAFSIR-MAARIF-UL-QURAN
﴿ إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ﴾
“BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that between truth and falsehood,”
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ (this is a decisive word..86:13) In other words, the Qur'an is truly a Decisive Word that decides between truth and falsehood, and there is no room for any doubt in it. Sayyidna ` Ali ؓ says that he heard the Holy Prophet ﷺ as saying about the Holy Qur'an: کتاب فیہ خبرما قبلکم و حکم مابعدکم وھو الفصل لیس بلھزل '[ It is ] a book which describes the stories of past communities and [ it contains ] injunctions for future generations. It is truly a Decisive Word. It is no joke.' Alhamdulillah The Commentary on Surah At-Tariq Ends here
