Blessed Is He
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ لِيَكُونَ لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ نَذِيرًا ١
Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His servant that he may be a warner to the worlds.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “tabaraka” is a verb not conjugated and attributed to none but Allah; it comes from the root of blessing and conveys abundance of good and exaltedness.
Reflect
Remember that Allah is the source of all blessing.
