Tafsir — Al-Kahf 7

Say: "Believe in it or do not believe (in it). Verily, those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall down on their chins (faces) in humble prostration. (107)And they say: "Glory be to our Lord! Truly, the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled. (108)And they fall down on their chins (faces) weeping and it increases their humility (109) Those Who were given Knowledge before truly admit the Qur'an Allah says to His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: قُلْ (Say) O Muhammad to these disbelievers concerning what you have brought to them of this Glorious Qur'an: آمِنُوا بِهِ أَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوا ("Believe in it (the Qur'an) or do not believe (in it).) meaning, it is all the same whether you believe in it or not, for it is true in and of itself. It was revealed by Allah, Who mentioned it previously in the Books that He revealed to other Messengers. Hence He says: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِ (Verily, those who were given knowledge before it,) meaning righteous people among the People of the Book, who adhered to their Books and appreciated them without distorting them. إِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ (when it is recited to them,) means, when this Qur'an is recited to them, يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًا (fall down on their chins (faces) in humble prostration.) means, to Allah, in gratitude for the blessing He has bestowed on them by considering them fit to live until they met this Messenger to whom this Book was revealed. Hence they say: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا (Glory be to our Lord!), meaning, they extol and glorify their Lord for His perfect power and for not delaying the fulfillment of the promise which He made through His earlier Prophets, that He would send Muhammad ﷺ. Hence they said: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِن كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولًا (Glory be to our Lord! Truly, the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled.) وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ يَبْكُونَ (And they fall down on their chins (faces) weeping) means, in submission to Allah, may He be glorified, and in expression of their belief and faith in His Book and His Messenger ﷺ. وَيَزِيدُهُمْ خُشُوعًا (and it increases their humility.) means, it increases them in faith and submission. As Allah says: وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَآتَاهُمْ تَقْوَاهُمْ (While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and bestows on them their Taqwa.)(47:17). وَيَخِرُّونَ (And they fall down) is a description rather than an action (i.e., this is a further description of their humility as referred to in Ayah 107; it does not imply that they prostrate twice).

(ऐ रसूल) आप कह दें : तुम इसपर ईमान ले आओ, पर तुम्हारे ईमान से इसमें कुछ भी वृद्धि नहीं होगी। या तुम इस पर ईमान न लाओ, पर तुम्हारे कुफ़्र से इसमें कोई कमी नहीं होगी। निःसंदेह जिन लोगों ने पिछली आसमानी पुस्तकें पढ़ रखी हैं और वे वह़्य तथा नुबुव्वत का ज्ञान रखते हैं, जब उनके सामने क़ुरआन पढ़ा जाता है, तो वे आभार प्रकट करते हुए अपने चेहरों के बल सजदे में गिर जाते हैं।

使徒よ、言え。「それを信じよ。しかしあなた方の信仰によって、そこに何か付け加えられるわけではない。また、それを信じなくても、あなた方の不信仰によって、そこから何か減らされるわけでもない。過去の啓典を読み、啓示と預言者について知っている者たちは、クルアーンが読誦されれば感謝し、顔を伏せてアッラーにサジダする。
