A Decisive Word
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلࣱ فَصۡلࣱ ١٣
Lo! this (Qur’an) is a conclusive word.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Indeed, it is a decisive word.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the Qur’an, which tells of the beginning and the return, is a definite word, a sharp judgement separating truth from falsehood.
Reflect
When undecided, look for a measure in the Qur’an.
