Thus He Reveals
كَذَٰلِكَ يُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٣
Thus Allah the Mighty, the Knower inspireth thee (Muhammad) as (He inspired) those before thee.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Thus has He revealed to you and to those before you, Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
Insight
Elmalılı relates from al-Kashshaf: the meanings in this surah were revealed to earlier prophets too; the essence of revelation is one.
Reflect
Read the Qur’an as the final link in the chain of prophets.
