Human Speech
إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ ٢٥
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“This is nothing but the word of a human.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is in the end what stubborn deniers say about the Qur’an and the Prophet: “It is not what Allah revealed but Muhammad’s own words.”
Reflect
Read the Qur’an with reverence as the word of Allah.
