Tafheem-ul-Quran - Abul Ala Maududi translation for Surah Ya-Sin — Ayah 5

36:5
تَنزِيلَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٥
(and this Qur'an) is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate1
Footnotes
  • [1] Qira’at: Hamza, Al-Kesa’i and Khalaf read it as: “. . . their prayer . . .”
  • [2] Here, two of the attributes of the Sender of the Quran have been mentioned. First, that He is All-Mighty; second, that He, is All-Merciful. The first attribute is meant to impress the reality that the Quran is not the counsel of a powerless preacher, which if you overlook or ignore, will not bring any harm to you; but this is the Edict of that Owner of the Universe, Who is All-Mighty, Whose decrees cannot be withheld from being enforced by any power, and Whose grasp cannot be avoided by anyone. The second attribute is meant to make one realize that it is all due to His kindness and mercy that He has sent His Messenger for your guidance and instruction and sent down this great Book so that you may avoid errors and follow the right path which may lead you to the successes of the world and the Hereafter.
