 51.47

Dan langit Kami bangun dengan kekuasaan, dan Kami benar-benar meluaskannya.

(“And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are surely expanding it.”

The word lamūsiʿūn is in the active participle form, which can imply an ongoing action or continuous ability. Because of this, some modern readers relate the verse to the idea that the universe is expanding.)

51.49

Dan segala sesuatu Kami ciptakan berpasang-pasangan agar kamu mengingat

(pairing is a feature of creation itself, while Allah is unique and without a pair. Everything else exists with a counterpart or opposite, which highlights the Creator’s uniqueness.)

51.52-54

Demikianlah setiap kali seorang Rasul yang datang kepada orang-orang yang sebelum mereka, mereka pasti mengatakan, “Dia itu pesihir atau orang gila.” Apakah mereka saling berpesan tentang apa yang dikatakan itu. Sebenarnya mereka adalah kaum yang melampaui batas. Maka berpalinglah engkau dari mereka, dan engkau sama sekali tidak tercela.

("“Did they pass this statement down to one another?"

The verse asks rhetorically whether the earlier nations somehow instructed later generations to repeat the same accusations.)

51.55

Dan tetaplah memberi peringatan, karena sesungguhnya peringatan itu bermanfaat bagi orang-orang mukmin.

(Classical commentators often explain that when God swears by something in creation, it indicates that the object has special significance as a sign of divine power.)

52.1

(The word Ṭūr in Arabic refers to a mountain, but in Qur’anic usage it is commonly understood as a specific mountain: the mountain where revelation was given to Moses. Classical commentators explain that At-Ṭūr refers to Mount Sinai, the place where Moses spoke with God and received the Torah.

Mount Sinai is a place where:God spoke to Moses, the Torah was revealed, and the covenant with the Children of Israel occurred.)

52.2

(The phrase kitāb masṭūr literally means a written book or a record that has been carefully inscribed. The word masṭūr comes from the root meaning “to write in lines.”)

52.3

(The word raqq refers to parchment or thin writing material, traditionally made from treated skin or similar material used for manuscripts. The word manshūr means spread out, unfolded, or unrolled. So the phrase literally describes a written record that is openly spread out, not hidden or sealed.)

52.4

(The phrase al-Bayt al-Maʿmūr literally means “the inhabited or frequently visited house.” Classical tafsir almost unanimously explains this as a house of worship in the heavens. this is a celestial sanctuary located in the seventh heaven directly above the Kaaba. It is described as the heavenly counterpart of the Kaaba.

The identification of this house comes partly from narrations describing the Prophet’s ascension during the Isra and Mi'raj. During this journey, the Prophet Muhammad was shown al-Bayt al-Maʿmūr in the seventh heaven, where angels were worshipping.)

52.20

(“Reclining on lined couches, and We will marry them to ḥūr with large eyes.”

The second part of the verse mentions ḥūr ʿīn. In tafsir literature, ḥūr refers to purified companions in Paradise, and ʿīn refers to large, beautiful eyes.)

52.21

Setiap orang terikat dengan apa yang dikerjakannya.

52.26-27

Mereka berkata, “Sesungguhnya kami dahulu, sewaktu berada di tengah-tengah keluarga kami merasa takut. Maka Allah memberikan karunia kepada kami dan memelihara kami dari azab neraka."

52.29

Maka peringatkanlah

52.37

[Some words historically used the letter Sīn, but over time, the spelling shifted to Sād to match the "heavy" vowels surrounding it. Because the Quran is preserved through oral tradition, these tiny markers ensure that the reader uses the exact dialect and pronunciation passed down by the Prophet Muhammad.

In the word al-muṣayṭirūn (ٱلْمُصَۜيْطِرُونَ).

When a "light" letter (like Sīn) is right next to a "heavy" letter (like Tā ط), your mouth naturally wants to "prepare" for the heavy sound early.

The letter ط (Tā) is a very "heavy" emphatic letter.

Historically, this word comes from a root that could be spelled with a Sīn (س).

However, because of that heavy ط sitting right there, the pronunciation naturally "thickened" over time to a Sād (ص) to match the resonance of the word.

The little Sīn above the Sād is basically a historical "receipt." It acknowledges that the word could be light (Sīn), but the heavy Tā nearby has pulled it toward the heavy Sād sound.

In the most common recitation (Hafs 'an 'Asim), you have a choice. You can pronounce it as a Sād (ص) or a Sīn (س).

Sād (ص) is the preferred/primary choice. Most scholars and teachers will tell you to stick with the "Heavy S" (Sād) because it matches the written letter in the text and flows better with the "Heavy Tā" (ط) that follows it.

Sīn (س) is also correct. If you see the small س written above the ص, it is an explicit "permission slip" to use the whistling "S" sound instead.

This specific word comes from the root س-ط-ر (related to "writing" or "controlling/overseeing"). Because the Tā (ط) is so "heavy," the Sīn (س) naturally wants to transform into a Sād (ص) to make the word easier to say.

If you are reciting for an audience or in prayer and want to be safe, stick with the Sād (ص). It is the "default" for this verse in the standard Cairo/Medina Mushaf.]

52.48-49

Dan bersabarlah menunggu ketetapan Tuhanmu, karena sesungguhnya engkau berada dalam pengawasan Kami, dan bertasbihlah dengan memuji Tuhanmu ketika engkau bangun, dan pada sebagian malam bertasbihlah kepada-Nya dan pada waktu terbenamnya bintang-bintang 

53.14

(“Near the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary.”

The phrase Sidrat al-Muntahā refers to a specific tree in the highest part of the heavens. 

The word sidrah means a lote tree, a type of tree known in Arabia, while al-muntahā means the ultimate limit or boundary. The name indicates that it is a boundary beyond which creatures cannot pass.

it is called al-muntahā because many things reach their final limit there:The knowledge of angels stops there and cannot go beyond it. What ascends from the earth—such as the deeds of humans—reaches that point. What descends from the heavens also passes through that boundary. In other words, it represents a cosmic limit in the heavenly realm.)

53.29-30

Maka tinggalkanlah orang yang berpaling dari peringatan Kami, dan dia hanya mengingini kehidupan dunia. Itulah kadar ilmu mereka. Sungguh, Tuhanmu, Dia lebih mengetahui siapa yang tersesat dari jalan-Nya dan Dia pula yang mengetahui siapa yang mendapat petunjuk.

53.32

mereka yang menjauhi dosa-dosa besar dan perbuatan keji, kecuali kesalahan-kesalahan kecil. Sungguh, Tuhanmu Mahaluas ampunan-Nya. 

Dia mengetahui tentang kamu, sejak Dia menjadikan kamu dari tanah lalu ketika kamu masih janin dalam perut ibumu. Maka janganlah kamu menganggap dirimu suci. Dia mengetahui tentang orang yang bertakwa.

(Because of that complete knowledge, the verse concludes with a warning: “Do not claim yourselves to be pure.” this discourages people from declaring themselves righteous or morally superior)

53.36

Ataukah belum diberitakan apa yang ada dalam lembaran-lembaran  Musa?

53.39-41

bahwa manusia hanya memperoleh apa yang telah diusahakannya, dan sesungguhnya usahanya itu kelak akan diperlihatkan, kemudian akan diberi balasan kepadanya dengan balasan yang paling sempurna,

53.48

dan sesungguhnya Dialah yang memberikan kekayaan dan kecukupan.

(The second word, aqnā, has been interpreted in several ways by classical commentators. One explanation is that it means to grant possessions or property. Another interpretation says it means to give contentment, meaning that God not only gives wealth but also the inner satisfaction that allows someone to feel fulfilled. Some scholars also understood it as to make someone satisfied with what they have.

Because of these interpretations, the verse is often understood as conveying a complete idea: God is the one who provides both material means and the sense of sufficiency. A person may receive wealth, but true contentment and independence from need also come from God.)

53.49

(“And that He is the Lord of Sirius.”

In Arabic the star is called al-Shiʿrā. It is the brightest star visible in the night sky and was well known to ancient Arabian observers.)

54.49

Sungguh, Kami menciptakan segala sesuatu menurut ukuran.

54.52

Dan segala sesuatu yang telah mereka perbuat tercatat dalam buku-buku catatan. Dan segala yang kecil maupun yang besar tertulis.

55.5

Matahari dan bulan beredar menurut perhitungan

55.7

Dan langit telah ditinggikan-Nya dan Dia ciptakan keseimbangan, agar kamu jangan merusak keseimbangan itu, dan tegakkanlah keseimbangan itu dengan adil dan janganlah kamu mengurangi keseimbangan itu.

55.13

(“So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?”

This verse appears repeatedly throughout the surah in the Qur'an—in fact, it occurs 31 times.

The surah lists many blessings: creation of humans, the sun and moon, the balance of nature, fruits, seas, pearls, and the rewards of Paradise. After each group of blessings, the verse asks the same question again. the repetition functions like a refrain, repeatedly reminding the listener to reflect on these favors.

Second, the verse addresses two audiences simultaneously. The dual pronoun “rabbikumā” (“your Lord, both of you”) refers to humans and jinn together.)

55.14

(The phrase ṣalṣāl ka-l-fakhkhār describes dry clay that produces a sound when struck, like baked pottery. 

The Qur’an mentions several stages of this creation in different verses: soil or dust, then clay, then shaped clay that dried. The description in this verse highlights the stage where the clay had dried and hardened, producing a sound like pottery when touched.)

55.15

(mārij refers to a subtle, mixed, or intensely blazing flame. It is often described as a fire that is pure and without smoke, or a flame whose colors and currents intermingle.)

55.46

Dan bagi siapa yang takut akan saat menghadap Tuhannya ada dua surga.

(The phrase “fears the standing before his Lord” refers to the awareness that a person will one day stand before God for judgment. this fear is not merely terror, but reverent awareness and accountability. It motivates a person to avoid wrongdoing and to live with moral responsibility.)

55.58

Seakan-akan mereka itu permata yakut dan marjan.

(The verse refers back to the companions mentioned in the previous verse (55:56), often described in tafsir as the ḥūr, the pure companions of Paradise. Their beauty is compared to rubies and coral. In Arabic imagery, a ruby represents something clear, radiant, and precious, while coral symbolizes delicate beauty and vibrant color.

55.64

kedua surga itu hijau tua warnanya.

56.24

Sebagai balasan atas apa yang mereka kerjakan.

56.36-37

(“And We made them virgins,

Loving and of equal age.”)

56.39-40

(Earlier in the surah, another group called “the foremost” (al-sābiqūn) is mentioned, and for them the Qur’an says that many will come from the early generations but only a few from the later ones. 

In contrast, here describe the companions of the right and state that many will come from both earlier and later generations.

The “foremost” are those with the highest level of faith and devotion, so their number is relatively smaller, especially in later times. The companions of the right, however, include a much larger group of believers who lived righteous lives even if they did not reach the highest rank.

The phrase “former peoples” generally refers to believers from earlier communities and generations, including those before the Prophet Muhammad. The phrase “later peoples” refers to those who come afterward.

Thus these verses convey a reassuring message: although the highest rank of Paradise may be limited to a select group, a great multitude of believers from all periods of history will still enter Paradise among the companions of the right.)

56.45-47

Sesungguhnya mereka sebelum itu hidup bermewah-mewah,

dan mereka terus-menerus mengerjakan dosa yang besar, 

dan mereka berkata, “Apabila kami sudah mati, menjadi tanah dan tulang-belulang, apakah kami benar-benar akan dibangkitkan kembali?

56.75-76

Lalu Aku bersumpah dengan tempat beredarnya bintang-bintang. Dan sesungguhnya itu benar-benar sumpah yang besar sekiranya kamu mengetahui.

57.20

(“Know that the life of this world is only play, amusement, adornment, boasting among yourselves, and competition in wealth and children.

 It is like rain whose growth pleases the farmers; then it dries and you see it turn yellow; then it becomes debris. 

And in the Hereafter there is severe punishment and forgiveness from God and His pleasure. And the life of this world is nothing but a deceptive enjoyment.”

play and amusement. when people focus mainly on entertainment and passing pleasures. Next comes adornment, meaning the desire for beauty, appearance, and status. Then comes boasting among yourselves, where people compare achievements and social standing. Finally, it refers to competition in wealth and children, symbolizing the pursuit of material success and family prestige.

Rain falls and plants grow, pleasing the farmers who see the flourishing crop. Yet after some time the plants wither, turn yellow, and crumble into dry fragments. This image represents the temporary nature of worldly prosperity. What appears vibrant and permanent eventually fades.

The final statement describes worldly life as “a deceptive enjoyment,” meaning it can easily mislead people into thinking it is the ultimate goal rather than a temporary stage.)

57.22

Setiap bencana yang menimpa di bumi dan yang menimpa dirimu sendiri, semuanya telah tertulis dalam Kitab sebelum Kami mewujudkannya. Sungguh, yang demikian itu mudah bagi Allah. Agar kamu tidak bersedih hati terhadap apa yang luput dari kamu, dan jangan pula terlalu gembira terhadap apa yang diberikan-Nya kepadamu. Dan Allah tidak menyukai setiap orang yang sombong dan membanggakan diri.

(The concluding phrase condemns the type of person who becomes boastful and self-deluded, attributing success purely to their own ability. In this way, the verses encourage believers to cultivate humility, patience, and moderation in their reactions to both loss and gain, recognizing that all events occur within the knowledge and wisdom of God.)

57.27

(The statement in Qur’an 57:27 that God “placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him” refers to a particular moral and spiritual character that developed among the sincere followers of Jesus.

The two Arabic words used are ra'fah (compassion, tenderness) and rahmah (mercy). Scholars say these describe a disposition of the heart. They mean that the true followers of Jesus developed a strong tendency toward kindness, gentleness, and emotional sensitivity toward others. Their religious life emphasized humility, forgiveness, and care for people who were weak or suffering.

Part of this character is connected to the message associated with Jesus. In Islamic interpretation, his preaching strongly emphasized softness of heart, detachment from excessive worldly ambition, and concern for the oppressed. Because of this influence, many of his sincere followers became known for their gentle conduct, charity, and willingness to endure hardship for their faith.

Commentators also explain that compassion (ra'fah) refers to a deep tenderness that avoids harming others, while mercy (rahmah) refers to actively helping and benefiting others. Together they describe a community whose spirituality was expressed through moral kindness and empathy, not only ritual practice.)

(The verse then addresses monasticism—the practice of withdrawing from worldly life to live in strict religious devotion. This refers to practices that later developed among some followers of Jesus, such as monks living in isolation and renouncing marriage or ordinary social life.

The Qur’an says that this monasticism was not prescribed by God. Rather, it was something people introduced themselves, motivated by a desire to seek God’s pleasure. 

However, the verse also states that many did not uphold it properly, meaning that the ideal they created was not consistently practiced with sincerity. some scholars say the problem was institutional corruption—religious authority and wealth becoming attached to monastic institutions, which led to deviations from the original spiritual purpose.

some fell into ordinary sins or hypocrisy despite claiming the higher spiritual status of monastic life. In that sense, yes, some monks behaved in ways inconsistent with their vows.

This does not necessarily condemn all forms of spiritual devotion or discipline. Instead, many scholars interpret the verse as teaching that religious practices should remain within the guidance given by God, rather than inventing extreme forms of devotion that were not commanded.

The verse concludes by noting that among those followers of Jesus, some remained faithful and received their reward, while many others fell into wrongdoing. 

The passage therefore highlights both the sincere devotion of some believers and the tendency of religious communities to develop practices beyond what revelation originally prescribed.

The broader lesson emphasized in tafsir is that religion should remain within the guidance that God prescribed, because self-imposed religious systems can become distorted over time.)
