Al-Qamar 54:25
The Moon · Meccan · Juz 27 · Page 529
Was It Sent to Him?
أَءُلۡقِيَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ ٢٥
Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means: “Are we not human like him? Is there none among us more worthy than he?”
Reflect
Don’t begrudge anyone Allah’s grace.
