7. Sura al-Araf


The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

المص ﴿١﴾

7:1. Alif Lam Mim Sad.

كِتَابٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلاَ يَكُن فِي صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِ...

7:2. A Book revealed unto thee, so let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account, that with it thou mightest warn (the erring)

C990. Heart: in the original, breast. I have used the word most appropriate to the English idiom.

The meaning is that Al-Mustafa is consoled for all the difficulties which he encountered in his mission, with the fact that he had clear guidance in the Book for his preaching.

...وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢﴾

and teach the believers.
