The text of the book is the exclusive Intellectual Property of Allah the Exalted.

Further, there is a concept of "Great Books". Mortimer Adler lists three criteria for including a book on the list

the book has contemporary significance; that is, it has relevance to the problems and issues of our times;

the book is inexhaustible; it can be read again and again with benefit; "This is an exacting criterion, an ideal that is fully attained by only a small number of the 511 works that we selected. It is approximated in varying degrees by the rest."

the book is relevant to a large number of the great ideas and great issues that have occupied the minds of thinking individuals for the last 25 centuries.

Another criterion which should rather be the first to earn the title of great for a book is that it will speak from an important original setting but is not trapped in its original setting. It is alive in every-present. The only book that has inbuilt claim of being the greatest, par excellence book is the Qur’ān

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٟكَ سَبْعٙا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِـى

And indeed Our Majesty have given to you the Messenger — Seven explicit Aa'ya'at Verbal Passages selected-excerpted from the Binary-Symmetrical-analogous Miscellany —

وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيـمَ .٨٧

And Our Majesty have given the Grand Qur’ān to you the Messenger .

The Qur’ān is adjectivally portrayed by Adjective resembling participle ٱلْعَظِيـمَ on فَعِيْلٌ measure . The resembling participle is that noun derived from intransitive verb which indicates on the root meaning being an attribute. And this attribute is usually perpetual or intrinsic. It means the all time great, the exalted. It is an unprecedented description, because ordinarily it is the reader and critiques who acts as judge to evaluate and regard a book great when it meets the criteria that earn the title of great for a book. It is reiterated with reference to Principle Book

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِـىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِـىٌّ حَكِيـمٌ .٤

And further know, it (Qur’ān) is certainly the most exalted within the contents of Mother/Principal Book which is safe in Our custody. It (Qur’ān) is the holder of wisdom the knowledge of invisible-secreted-infolded, judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct.

Quote
Breaking 'the covenant'
distorting the words from their places/context, forgetting what we have been reminded of
to sever what God has commanded to be joined, making corruption in the land

By reversing what constitutes breaking we can perhaps simplify what constitutes upholding
to remember God's message, conveying it truthfully
to join what God has commanded to be joined, making good in the land

Interesting correlation between above and upholding salat and bring forth zakat

Introduction

Communication is the process a message or communication is sent by the sender through a communication channel to a receiver, or to multiple receivers. The Communicator has to encode the message - the information being conveyed into a form that is appropriate to the communication channel and the receiver/s who then decode the message to understand its meaning and significance. Since all communication has a context, communication happens for a reason; the desired outcome or goal is mutual understanding.

Communication channel is the term given to the way - the method used to transmit the message to a recipient. Effective communication aims at avoiding and minimising potential misunderstanding and barriers at each stage in the communication process.

Different categories of communication include Spoken or Verbal Communication which is either Written Communication; or face-to-face speech or through a media; and Non-Verbal Communication (رَمْزٙا-sign language); and Visualizations like charts and graphs. Verbal Communication is the use of words of a language to share information with other people. It, therefore, includes both spoken and written communication. It is all about the words chosen and interwoven in string by the sender and how they are heard and interpreted.

The Last Divine Communication is كَلَٟمُ ٱللَّهِ the Speech, the Parlance—verbal Message, the Discourse spoken by Allah the Exalted exclusively to His elevated universal Messenger. It is then declared as كِتَٟبُ ٱللَّهِ the Book of Allah the Exalted which is the verbatim transcription of كَلَٟمُ ٱللَّهِ in black and white on papers by the right hand of the elevated universal Messenger Muhammad (Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) as its First Publisher, and given the title Qur’ān which means a composition covering/warping space-time. One of its epithets ٱلذِّكْرُ describes it as Grand Memoir

صٓۚ

Sād Fifteenth-middle letter of the 29 letter Arabic Alphabet, with ancillary glyph/prolongation sign which stretches the sound value of the letter to which it is added. As a numeral, it denotes 90-reflecting the entire range from 0 to 9. Interestingly, its head part is used in Grand Qur’ān as a sign to suggest linkage in recitation.

وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ .١

And swearing is by the Qur’ān; its peculiarity is that it is the holder of the Memoir, portraying history eternity to eternity.

The diction in the very beginning of the Chapter is amazing which encodes much more information than the literal meanings of words. What sort of rhetoric is there in pairing a consonant of alphabet with the Qur’ān, for oath of emphasis? Arabic Alphabet comprises of 29 units and this is exactly the middle, 15th consonant. It is said that it has the meaning of "Homogeneity, Consistent, Full - a Solid Block". The attribute of Qur’ān is ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ, the holder/possessor of Grand Memoir, the container of history covering both the past and the future while it always remains in the middle ever-present. Interesting statistical information is that this consonant is used exactly 29 times in the Chapter. Deep reflection may indicate the Universal Messenger and Qur’ān is ever-present; and if we analytically read it we may realize that universe is but a theatre where documentary is being replayed/ released. Only the past can be recollected, revisited and visualized. The events and conversations in what is in our perception the future and the Hereafter are described in the past tenses. The Writer of the Book has thus already seen it and this documentary is His Memoir - historical account - biography written from personal knowledge. It is the exhibit of the infinite knowledge of Allah the Exalted

لَّـٟكِنِ ٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيْكَۖ أَنزَلَهُۥ بِعِلْمِهِۦۖ

But Allah the Exalted is testifying in time and space you being the Messenger by that which He the Exalted has compositely sent to you (Muhammad ). He the Exalted has sent it (Qur’ān) as exhibit of His knowledge —

وَٱلْمَلَٟٓئِكَـةُ يَشْهَدُونَۚ

And the Angels stand as witnesses to testify this fact —

وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدٙا .١٦٦

Although Allah the Exalted suffices to testify.

The text of the book is the exclusive Intellectual Property of Allah the Exalted.

Further, there is a concept of "Great Books". Mortimer Adler lists three criteria for including a book on the list

the book has contemporary significance; that is, it has relevance to the problems and issues of our times;

the book is inexhaustible; it can be read again and again with benefit; "This is an exacting criterion, an ideal that is fully attained by only a small number of the 511 works that we selected. It is approximated in varying degrees by the rest."

the book is relevant to a large number of the great ideas and great issues that have occupied the minds of thinking individuals for the last 25 centuries.

Another criterion which should rather be the first to earn the title of great for a book is that it will speak from an important original setting but is not trapped in its original setting. It is alive in every-present. The only book that has inbuilt claim of being the greatest, par excellence book is the Qur’ān

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٟكَ سَبْعٙا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِـى

And indeed Our Majesty have given to you the Messenger — Seven explicit Aa'ya'at Verbal Passages selected-excerpted from the Binary-Symmetrical-analogous Miscellany —

وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيـمَ .٨٧

And Our Majesty have given the Grand Qur’ān to you the Messenger .

The Qur’ān is adjectivally portrayed by Adjective resembling participle ٱلْعَظِيـمَ on فَعِيْلٌ measure . The resembling participle is that noun derived from intransitive verb which indicates on the root meaning being an attribute. And this attribute is usually perpetual or intrinsic. It means the all time great, the exalted. It is an unprecedented description, because ordinarily it is the reader and critiques who acts as judge to evaluate and regard a book great when it meets the criteria that earn the title of great for a book. It is reiterated with reference to Principle Book

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِـىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِـىٌّ حَكِيـمٌ .٤

And further know, it (Qur’ān) is certainly the most exalted within the contents of Mother/Principal Book which is safe in Our custody. It (Qur’ān) is the holder of wisdom the knowledge of invisible-secreted-infolded, judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct.

The subject of Verb-like particle is the third person masculine pronoun referent to Qur’ān. Its first predicate is لَعَلِـىٌّ comprising of لَ Prefixed particle of emphasis + Adjective resembling participle on فَعِيْلٌ measure Indefinite; Masculine; singular; nominative. It stems from Root ع ل و which encodes perception of "to raise, exaltation, loftiness, honour, elevation and grandeur. It refers to upper part or surface of a thing or place".

The statement that Qur’ān is all time the greatest and most exalted book has the value of a claim - to say, without proof or evidence, that something is true. Since a critical reader must have the habit of evaluating a statement to judge its value, quality, importance and extent; its study, with reference to standards and criteria set by the scholars that earns title of great for a book, will reveal it the most exalted and par excellence book.

All communication is sharing information. It is the Will of a Living Who desires to share information with others. Information, thus, arises only through an intentional, volitional act of the Living Being. Therefore, information is but a variable quantity depending on the desire and decision of the Holder of Information and Knowledge

وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٛ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚۚ

But they can not comprehensively grasp any physical or abstract entity loaded with partial information of the Knowledge of Him the Exalted. Exception is only to that information which He the Exalted desired to share - acquaint them with.

"Information" is not just "abstract entity" but is a physical - concrete reality. In fact it is "information - knowledge" that exists while what we think exists actually subsists. Knowledge is Infinite; all that persists is finite, whereby certain quantity of information and knowledge is always retrievable and acquirable.

The Universe is like the screen of the Computer displaying limited amount of knowledge stored in its RAM (Random Access Memory) which can instantly be acquired but much more information is already there in its Permanent Memory that will come to access once transferred to RAM and displayed. So the Source of Knowledge is Unitary. Whatever amount of knowledge the ٱلْعَلِيـمُ ,the au fait source of knowledge - Allah the Exalted did wish to share, it is displayed in the observable form of universe that can be obtained equally by everybody who has passion for knowledge; but also has rendered it exploitable (سَخَّرَ) by humans.

The other method of communication - conveyance of information and knowledge is verbal, orally and in writing. Whatever and to whatever extent the Unitary Source of Knowledge wished to share, He has already shared with His Spokesperson closing the chapter of any further communication of information and knowledge

إِنَّـآ أَعْطَيْنَٟكَ ٱلْـكَـوْثَرَ

Our Majesty have since personally granted you the Messenger the unique - ultimate profundity.

Henceforth, there shall be no communication and sharing of information. Onwards, it will only be exposure of realities to visual faculty. The fact about existing realities is that not all are visible to human naked eye. The Primal Creator as well as the knowledgeable, observant-scientists convey the knowledge about realities not apparent to human eye by using the metaphors. Descriptions by metaphors enable people perceive a general idea-image of invisible fact by relating it to features of the metaphor.

Knowledge acquired by human beings, until seventh century, was through naked eye observation. Naked eye observation of an object and reality grants conviction about its existence. Thought of invisible realities was all along there in human mind that kept him busy in developing theories to gain a perception about various phenomena.

Turning point was when the Creator of all that exists, Allah the Exalted Who had initiated creation with self-imposed obligation of Mercy, personified Mercy for all in the person of Muhammad , His Last Messenger. The Grand Qur’ān, life sustaining and path illuminating Visible Light came to humanity along with him . It disclosed that a new era of observation of invisible realities is ushering in. It advised humanity to break away from the ideas of the Greeks, who were mired in the belief that they could theorize and deduce underlying principles; and to believe in empirical observation and measurement

وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُـرِيكُـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ فَتَعْـرِفُونَـهَاۚ

Moreover, you the Messenger pronounce "The Infinite Glory and Praise eternally stands specified entirely and exclusively for Allah the Exalted. He the Exalted will henceforth keep visually showing you people His Aa'ya'at realities in the Universe and your own bodies. Thereat, you people will keep recognizing them as were verbally mirrored." —

وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٟفِلٛ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ .٩٣

And warn that your Sustainer Lord is indeed never unmindful/neglecting of what acts you people perform."

سَنُرِيـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا فِـى ٱلْءَافَاقِ وَفِـىٓ أَنفُسِهِـمْ

Our Majesty will henceforth keep intermittently exposing visually Our tangible realities prevalent in the Universe-horizons and in their own bodies to them (who accept not the Divine origin of Qur’ān) —

حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّـنَ لَـهُـمْ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّۗ

The purpose of this visual manifestation is that it (Qur’ān) being Infallible Discourse of Reality itself explicitly explicates to have been sent for them by their Sustainer Lord.

Grand Qur’ān informed that Allah the Exalted will henceforth keep bringing to human visual access the knowledge about universe and human body, whereby the fact that Grand Qur’ān mirrors Proven Fact-absolute reality might become self manifest to the people who keep denying it. Why a first time observation of hitherto unseen thing manifests that the Qur’ān is a statement of proven fact? This is possible only if the same thing finds mention in the Qur’ān. Verbal specification and visual observation are two aspects of identification of a tangible fact of real existence as denoted by Arabic word ءَايَةٚ. The visual observation of an earlier unseen fact by humans will manifest a book written earlier in time as Book of Facts which contains its verbal presentation. This will establish that the Book really contains verbal statements of physical-scientific facts and is not conjectural, hypothetical and presumptive in its contents.

Divine Communication Methodology Foretold

(a) Guidance هُدٙى shall arrive encoded in ءَايَٟتُ ٱللَّهِ, the transmitters of Allah conveying information and knowledge, explicitly and implicitly.
(i) Meanings of هُدٙى;
(ii) Meanings of ءَايَٟتُ ٱللَّهِ

We do not belong to this Universe comprising of Earth and the Sky, each layered in seven segments. Our origin is partly terrestrial; some constituent elements are earthly but the primary and vital element is water which is extraterrestrial matter, flash descended in measured quantity and stored in the Earth . We came into existence in areas beyond the space of Universe of Earth and Skies.

However, a happening caused us to leave that place and we came down to the Earth. Perhaps, all those present on the Earth would have observed, for the first time, a UFO-Unidentified foreign object landing with the first Man and the First Lady on board as governors of their destiny enjoying freewill, autonomy and discretionary powers to self administer their affairs .

فَأَزَلَّـهُـمَا ٱلشَّيْطَٟنُ عَنْـهَا

Thereat, through devious manipulation Shai'taan caused both slip off her (the given advice).

فَأَخْرَجَهُـمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِۖ

Thereby, he (Shai'taan) caused the exile of both of them from state of felicity-comfort in which they had been—

وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟

And Our Majesty directed "You all descend.

بَعْضُكُـمْ لِبَعْضٛ عَدُوّٚۖ

Some of you people will be acting as enemy for some other.

وَلَـكُـمْ فِـى ٱلۡأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرّٚ وَمَتَٟعٌ إِلَـىٰ حِيـنٛ.٣٦

Know it, comfortable dwelling and livelihood is arranged in the Earth for you people for a duration to an appointed moment of termination".

We were told that this descent and sojourn on the Earth is for a limited period and that we might be ascended back to our ancestral abode, the Paradise, subject to we follow certain conditions. Our Universe, an Enclave comprising of seven Skies and the Earth, was created and subjected to the service of Human Beings. The impossibility to traverse and move out, or escape its frontiers is like this

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـٔ�َايَـٟتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْـبَـرُوا۟ عَنْـهَا

Certain fact about those who publicly contradicted Our Aa'ya'at Verbal Passages of the Book -Unprecedented Displays and arrogantly deviated from them puffed and obsessed with pride of superiority and grandeur

لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَـهُـمْ أَبْوَٟبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ

The Doors of the Sky will not be opened for them —

وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَـتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِـى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِۚ

And they cannot enter into the Paradise. Their entrance therein is as impossible as that a Rope of the ship or the Camel might pass through the eye of the needle.

وَكَذَٟلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِيـنَ .٤٠

Be mindful, this is how Our Majesty will requite the Criminals - the proven guilty.

It should be noted that Sky is the one which was stretched and made as seven Skies. Therefore, the doors of the Sky mean the exit points for leaving our Universe and entering into foreign domain-extraterrestrial space. It should further be noted that the information regarding non opening of the Doors of the Sky is only about the Criminals-Convicts. Thus it is the man who is master of his destiny that stands decided at the time of his death in Earthly world, and in the Hereafter it is just judicial formality for conviction.

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٟبٙا .١٩

And the Sky would have been opened, whereby it will be having exit doors.

Man was sent to the Earth with full honours and protocol as self-governing entity of freewill and autonomy. Before seen off it was plainly told that he will be communicated in timeline the guidance to follow which will enable him to come back to the Paradise with honour and as Permanent Resident with rights of ownership, not merely as guest.

قُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِنْـهَا جَـمِيعٙا

Our Majesty said "You go down out of this place, jointly-together.

فَإِمَّا يَأْتِـيَنَّكُـم مِّنِّى هُدٙى

Thereby, having settled and become a society, whenever guidance would have reached to you people, initiated, reiterated and dispatched from Me

فَمَن تَبِــعَ هُدَاىَ

Whereupon whoever would have followed My Guidance in such manner that nothing else influences in between —

فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْـهِـمْ

Thereby, fear will not overshadow-haunt such class of people —

وَلَا هُـمْ يَحْـزَنُونَ.٣٨

And neither will they have a cause to feel sad and grieved".

The episode is repeated which clarifies that the descent to the Earth was as distinguished gentleman with an air of distinction and dignity

ثُـمَّ ٱجْتَبَٟهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ .١٢٢

Afterwards his feel of shame for thoughtless act and genuine repentance (refer 237; 723; 20115), his Sustainer Lord declared him distinguished, thereby attended to him and guided him (how to attain eternity and kingdom that never falls/decays-20120).

قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْـهَا جَـمِيعَاۢۖ

He the Exalted said "You both go down to Earth, jointly departing from her (Paradise) —

بَعْضُكُـمْ لِبَعْضٛ عَدُوّٚۖ

There some of you people will become enemy - antagonistic for some others —

فَإِمَّا يَأْتِـيَنَّكُـم مِّنِّى هُدٙى

Thereby, having settled and become a society, whenever guidance would have reached to you people, initiated, reiterated and dispatched from Me

فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ

Thereat, whoever affectionately acted upon My Guidance in letter and spirit in such manner that nothing else influences in between —

فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ .١٢٣

Thereby, having acted on My Guidance neither would he go stray - neglectful - unrewarded nor would he face trouble - difficulty - inconvenience."

However, it was not explicitly mentioned as to the method and intermediary of this communication. But it was disclosed that the guidance shall be through Signs verbal passages and unique displays

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَـروا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـٔ�َايَٟتِنَآ

And those who would have refused believing and publicly contradicted Our Aa'ya'at verbal communications (passages of the Divine Book/and or supernatural displays-delivered through the Messenger) —

أُو۟لَـٟٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٟـبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ

They are the people who will be the resident inmates of scorching Hell-Prison —

هُـمْ فِيـهَا خَٟلِدُونَ.٣٩

They will abide therein permanently.

It is thus evident that the guidance, advice or information aimed at resolving a problem, difficulty and conflict and giving the direction towards a path, shall be encoded in ءَايَٟتٚ, singular ءَايَةٚ. The juxtaposition of upshot of two types of response to Divine Communication (238-39) renders it manifest that the guidance shall be public and apply to all the audience, individually and collectively. Although not stated explicitly, it is implied that for communication from Allah the Exalted to humanity and species Jinn there shall be an intermediary in space-time. It is thus a tripartite arrangement.

Warping spacetime, Qur’ān takes us from descent to ascent in the Paradise where its residents (أَصْحَـٟـبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ) affirmed

وَقَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِـهَـٟذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَـهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُۖ

And they said "Glorifying praise is for Allah the Exalted Who guided us for this achievement. And guiding ourselves aright would not have been possible had Allah the Exalted not guided us (by verbal passages of Divine Book) —

لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّۖ

Undoubtedly the Messengers of our Sustainer Lord had come along with infallible verbal discourse."

وَنُودُوٓا۟ أَن تِلْـكُـمُ ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُـمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُـمْ تَعْمَلُونَ .٤٣

And they will be addressed; this is the Paradise; you people have indeed deserved and rendered it inheritance with what you people kept doing.

They called upon (perhaps by video link 3754-55) the Inmates of Hell-prison (أَصْحَـٟـبُ ٱلنَّارِ) and enquired about the Word of Allah the Exalted at the time of descent to the Earth

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَـٟـبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَـٟـبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقّٙا

And the residents of the Paradise called the inmates of the Hell-Prison telling them "We have indeed found it an established fact what our Sustainer Lord had promised with us.

فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّـم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُـمْ حَقّٙاۖ

Accordingly, have you found that a fact what your Sustainer Lord had promised for you?"

قَالُوا۟ نَعَمْۚ

They replied, "yes."

They further explained the cause of being Inmates of Hell-Prison

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ

Listen it; they further said in pitiful tone "Had we the habit of attentive listening, or applying intellect-reasoning —

مَا كُنَّا فِـىٓ أَصْحَٟبِ ٱلسَّعِيـرِ .١٠

We would not have been in the company of inmates of scorching Hell-Prison."

فَٱعْتَـرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِـهِـمْ

Thus they self confessed the guilt of their criminal charge sheet —

فَسُحْقٙا لِّأَصْحَـٟـبِ ٱلسَّعِيـرِ .١١

Thereby the upshot of the Inmates of the scorching Hell-Prison is the life of regret and woe in the state of remaining discarded and condemned.

Hi,

My understanding of the verses is that Adam, his wife and other somehuman beings were created outside our planet but in our universe. It was(their paradise) not the abode of immortality called Indallah/Rabbin's Floor, the Hereafter Universe. And that is why Satan deceived them by promising them immortality.

The Hereafter Universe, which is called the Floor of the Lord, is the immortal and material universe with the abodes of immortality.

Seven heavens means many universes. The number seven in Arabic also means more than one. So, seven is not just a number.

And right now there are people living in the Hereafter Universe called the Lord's Floor.

I explain it in detail in this article

(a) Guidance هُدٙى shall arrive encoded in ءَايَٟتُ ٱللَّهِ, the transmitters of Allah conveying information and knowledge, explicitly and implicitly.
(i) Meanings of هُدٙى;

The subject هُدٙى of the verb in the dependent clause (238 and 20123 quoted above) is an indefinite noun that is specified by the prepositional phrase مِّنِّى clarifying that it will always be initiated by the Speaker, Allah the Exalted; and it will reach you people from time to time in future (يَأْتِـيَنَّكُـم). Thereby, the Source - Fountain of Guidance is Unitary. Preposition denotes (إبتداء الغاية) commencement and signifies motion proceeding from or away from a place towards a destination and rest in it.

The basic perception encoded in its Root ھ د ى is to direct or guide to the way or cause to take, or to follow a right way; or course or direction. It denotes a way, course, method, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct, or proceeding or the like. The day is called هُدٙى because of its brightness, visibility and making every thing prominently evident for the vision. And هادية is that rock which is visible from a distance in the ocean. Thereby, it serves the purpose of giving information about one's location and serves as guide for further proceedings.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَـكُـمُ ٱلنُّجُومَ

Moreover, He the Exalted has rendered for you people certain Stars as Pointers -direction finders

لِتَـهْتَدُوا۟ بِـهَا فِـى ظُلُمَٟتِ ٱلْبَـرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِۗ

So that you people self find the direction with their help while you people are in darkness-clueless locations-unmarked spaces-bewilderment of the Desert-Land and the Ocean.

قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا ٱلْءَايَـٟتِ لِقَوْمٛ يَعْلَمُونَ .٩٧

Indeed Our Majesty has rendered the Aa'ya'at verbal passages - linguistic tokens (of Qur’ān) into distinct semantic frames individuating each subject matter for the people in pursuit of knowing-knowledge.

The first object of the verb is definite plural ٱلنُّجُومَ, "the Stars", and its second rendered-as object is manifestly understood from verbal sentence with preposition interpreted in the meaning of verbal noun اِهْتِدَاءٌ. The plural on the pattern of فُعُولٌ indicates abundance. Certain Stars are declared as helping people in finding direction in the bewilderment of oceans and deserts, no-clue places. But later particular Star is mentioned by which people self find the direction towards destined location

وَعَلٟمَٟتٛۚ

And He the Exalted has placed in land marks-pointers —

وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُـمْ يَـهْتَدُونَ .١٦

And they people get the direction-guidance with the help of the Star - North pole.

Since ancient times, humans have knowledge about determining directions and paths with the help of stars. But the source of guidance is always unitary, the North/Pole Star. Other stars, Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) point to the North Star. The Grand Qur’ān is declared as ٱلْحَقُّ, the statement of absolute fact, established reality in time and space. It once said that Allah the Exalted has rendered/appointed peculiar Stars, and later it is said that people get direction-orientation with the help of one Specific Star. Grand Qur’ān was meant, not only for those Arabs who were to listen it first, but is for the entire humanity in time and space. Therefore, its language is such that it contains and narrates a fact in such manner that it should seem and could have been perceived as an absolute truth by its first listeners, and proves to be an absolute fact for the posterity for whom the knowledge of the universe will keep unfolding. The above statement of the Grand Qur’ān is a fact from whatever angles it may be seen. In common knowledge, people perceive that North/Pole Star is the one but that is not the fact. Today North Star is Polaris but prior to it Thuban (derived from the Arabic word ثعبان thuʿbān) was at its location.

This mention has defined the objective of Arabic word هُدٙى that it is to rescue, and escaping out of the layers of darkness, uncertainty and bewilderment by knowing the direction of the desired destination.

يَـهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٟنَهُ ۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٟم

Allah the Exalted guides with it (Qur’ān); the pursuits that lead to eternal peace, whoever diligently sought the approval and appreciation of Him the Exalted.

وَيُخْرِجُهُـم مِّنِ ٱلظُّلُمَٟتِ إِلَـى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ

And he the Messenger moves them out of the depths of darkness into the Visible light enlightenment (Qur’ān) with the prior approval-permission of Him the Exalted.

وَيَـهْدِيـهِـمْ إِلَـىٰ صِـرَٟطٛ مُّسْتَقِيـمٛ .١٦

And he (the Universal Messenger) guides them towards the High road Course that keeps heading safely and stably to the destination of peace and tranquility.

If people loose their way in the desert and sea, then "guidance", the decision of adopting the direction of the path is to be taken from the North Star. If someone insists to follow the way by his imagination and wishful thinking, can anyone save him the risk of wandering in the vastness of desert and ocean? The source of guidance is always unitary. It is strange that majority does not accept this simple and straightforward rule and still rely on hearsay sources. Perhaps the drug of imagination and mystery has been taken down very deep in their veins, which has stagnated their minds and heart.

Leading them towards the High Road of the Dominant Supreme Sovereign, the magnificently Praised—

It is incumbent upon the person who invites towards a vision and course to be at the head for guidance - direction and keep leading and showing the way to the followers. Allah the Exalted personally confirmed to him about this fact

وَكَذَٟلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ رُوحٙا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَاۚ

Let it be on record that in the same manner through Angel Messenger and directly when you visited beyond the Skies, Our Majesty has communicated to you the Messenger the Life Breathing and Sustaining Guarantor Vital Principle (Grand Qur’ān) a promised affair of Ours - guidance being exclusively Our task —

مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى مَا ٱلْـكِـتَٟبُ وَلَا ٱلْإِيمَٟنُ

(Let it be known) In your past life you the Messenger was not in habit of inquiring/asking (the People of Book) regards neither the specific Book and nor for specific belief (they were pursuing).

وَلَـٰكِن جَعَلْنَٟهُ نُورٙا

The assertion that you have compiled plagiarizing old myths is baseless; on the contrary Our Majesty have declared it (Grand Qur’ān) as the Visible Light-the Sustainer of Life.

نَّـهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَاۚ

Our Majesty guide with it (Grand Qur’ān) anyone for whom We so intend-decide —who is desirous of guidance among Our subjects.

(ii) Meanings of ءَايَٟتُ ٱللَّهِ

However, it was not explicitly mentioned as to the method and intermediary of this communication. But it was disclosed that the guidance shall be through Signs verbal passages and unique displays

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَـروا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـٔ�َايَٟتِنَآ

And those who would have refused believing and publicly contradicted Our Aa'ya'at verbal communications (passages of the Divine Book/and or supernatural displays-delivered through the Messenger) —

أُو۟لَـٟٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٟـبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ

They are the people who will be the resident inmates of scorching Hell-Prison —

هُـمْ فِيـهَا خَٟلِدُونَ.٣٩

They will abide therein permanently.

It is thus evident that the guidance, advice or information aimed at resolving a problem, difficulty and conflict and giving the direction towards a path, shall be encoded in ءَايَٟتٚ, singular ءَايَةٚ. Its Root is "ء ى ى" which embeds Semantic frame Sign. Sign is defined as an object, corporeal and real thing having dimensions; or a discernible sign which one can perceive and save in memory with reference to its surroundings and dimensions; and event or phenomenon whose presence or occurrence indicates the existence, presence or occurrence of something else, the relationship being asymmetric. Phenomenon is a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question. Nothing can be perceived and stored in memory without relating it to something else. Moreover, everything has two aspects, one apparent and visible perceivable through sensory organs; and the other is invisible but integral part of that thing. Therefore, this Root signifies as Er-Rághib stated, any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent so that when one perceives the former he perceives the other to a certain extent which he cannot otherwise perceive.

Ibn Faris stated it signifies "وهو النَّظَر" noticing, viewing, looking and perceiving by sight. A Sign, in Arabic ءَايَةٚ is in fact a mirroring transmitter of truthful information which exists as an indication about some invisible existence, reality, fact, and phenomenon, the Indicated. It has in it an element of news. Thereby, what is achieved is a bit or more of information. It is neither synonym nor synonymous to عَلَامَةٌ which is derived from Root ع ل م that denotes such mark, representation, symbol, or figure about which it is already known as to what it features - portrays. The relationship between Indicator and Indicated in عَلَامَةٌ is that of symbolization or iconicity.

This is the visual side of learning knowledge. It thereby refers to unprecedented displays that are strange to known causality phenomena termed in common parlance as "miracle". This resembles communication through the medium of visualizations like charts and graphs. The other source of knowing and perceiving things is verbal. In Grand Qur’ān the word ءَايَةٚ is firstly used to refer to the Divine communication through linguistic tokens, the verbal Passages of the Divine Speech - Book that indicate information and guidance. These passages are Indicators indicating the Existence of Invisible Author - Speaker. Text is a Sign indicating the Existence of its Creator exercising Volition. When the creator of a thing; who knows absolutely the visible and invisible aspect of that thing, verbally narrates about that thing, such verbal statement is "ءَايَةٚ" in the true sense of the word since it mirrors established realities and facts.

Thus ءَايَٟتٚ is the fundamental and only source of learning including both methods of acquiring knowledge by observation - experiencing and through "teacher" and study of book.

Divine Communication Methodology Intermediary the galaxy of exalted men (ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ) and Timing.

The juxtaposition of upshot of two types of response to Divine Communication (238-39) renders it manifest that the guidance shall be public and apply to all the audience, individually and collectively. Although not stated explicitly, it is implied that for communication from Allah the Exalted to humanity and species Jinn there shall be an intermediary in space-time. It is thus a tripartite arrangement. Who were to act intermediary?

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٙ وَٟحِدَةٙ

The people used to be a singular harmonious unit-group.

فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ مُبَشِّـرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ

Thereby, , Allah the Exalted brought into the world (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ) the Chosen and elevated allegiant - subjects to appoint them Messengers assigning the responsibility to assure-guarantee glad tidings and to caution - awaken the people.

وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ

And He the Exalted compositely sent the respective Book along with all of them, to meet the exigency, incorporating infallible facts —

لِيَحْكُـمَ بَيْـنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِۚ

The purpose was that it (the Book) might decide-adjudge amongst people of that society in matters in which they mutually differed.

The choice of the verb بَعَثَ is very meaningful since it is semantically heavily loaded. Its Root "ب ع ث" denotes, as Ibn Faris stated

1- الإثارة bringing up, raising into the world; act of presenting on the scene; awaking; and stated it signifies;

2- (وتأْويلُ البَعْثِ إِزالةُ ما كان يَحْبِسُه عن التَّصَرُّف والانْبِعاث) "Its final outcome - interpretation is the removal of what was holding him back from conduct, disposition; and signifies rejuvenate, resurrection".

The dependent clause begins with particle (الفاء الفصيحة) which signifies cause and effect and conjuncts to an elided element whereby it adds fluency and reveals the elided element. The timing and objective of physical appearance - presentation of ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ AnNabiyyeena on the scene of world is later explicitly mentioned. It is reiterated by referring, it was but to fulfil the word given to man at the time of his descent to the Earth

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةٙ وَٟحِدَةٙ فَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ۚ

Be aware that there has been a time when people were but like minded singular harmonious unit. Sequel to social divide, thereby, they mutually differed when they put together another ideology besides the previous one. They became bi-polar instead a unity.

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٚ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَـهُـمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ .١٩

And had a word of promise not preceded (communication of guidance, and granting a respite period) by the Sustainer Lord of you the Messenger, the matter would have been ended between them regarding what they diligently differ.

The verbal sentence فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ occurs only twice in the Discourse; its repetition exposes its exact signification

فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُـرَابٙا يَبْحَثُ فِـى ٱلۡأَرْضِ

Self-aggrandizement got over and problem of disposal of body of brother overtook him; whereat Allah the Exalted brought a raven/crow there who kept scratching and digging the Earth —

لِيُـرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٟرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِۚ

The objective was that He the Exalted show him the method as to how he can bury the body of his brother.

The restraining of free action makes things dormant, static, heedless, negligent, unmindful, captivated; deep unconsciousness and in its extreme meanings death, which converts the living into matter that is fond of inertia . Removing of the restraint implies and results in the revival, which is the basic concept folded in this Root. Therefore, all the words of Root will share this basic concept in whatever manner they are shaped and employed in a sentence. And its words must have a relation with the restraint that restrained the free action.

The object of verb (فَبَعَثَ) is ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ the sound plural Adjective resembling participle, derived from Verbal Noun نَبْوَةٌ and نَبَاوَةٌ on the measure "فَعِيلٌ". Its nominate form is ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ, and plural of paucity ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ, and singular ٱلنَّبِىُّ. It has additional consonant termed يَآءُ النِسْبَةِ the consonant of relative association denoting each member belongs to a unique group. Adjective resembling participle, or termed as Verbal Adjective, is a noun derived from an intransitive verb. It indicates on the root meaning being an attribute. And this attribute is usually perpetual or intrinsic.

It stems from Root ن ب و. Ibn Faris stated "يدلُّ على ارتفاعٍ في الشيء عن غَيره أو تَنحٍّ عنه that it signifies perception of eminence, elevation, ascension, exaltation of something in relation to others, or distinguished from others". Allah the Exalted has mentioned some of them by name

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَٟقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۚ

And Our Majesty granted him Ies'hauqe and Ya'qoob

كُلّٙا هَدَيْنَاۚ

Our Majesty guided each one of them.

وَنُوحٙا هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْلُۖ

--And foretimes, Our Majesty had guided Noah --.

وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِۦ دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَٟنَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَـىٰ وَهَٟرُونَۚ

And guided out of his posterity; Da'ued; and Sulie'maan; and Ayub; and Yusuf; and Musa and Ha'roon .

وَكَذَٟلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِيـنَ .٨٤

And in this way Our Majesty reward those who conduct moderately, gracefully and generously.

وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلْيَاسَۖ

And Our Majesty had guided Zakariyya, and Yahya and Easa and Ilyas —

كُلّٚ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٨٥

Each one of them is confirmed as the member of the Righteous- Perfectionists.

وَإِسْـمَٟعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٙاۚ

And Our Majesty had guided Iesma'eile and Al-Yasa'a and Yunus and Luet .

After mentioning the names the status they are bestowed is pronounced

وَكُلّٙا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَـى ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ .٨٦

Know it; Our Majesty has granted each one of them the uniqueness-sanctity-preference over the humanity- manifested realm.

These four Ayahs 684-87 comprising of 69 words, though appear like a paragraph in English language, but it is like a Complex-Compound Sentence a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. And by purpose-type it is a Declarative Sentence –Used to make a simple statement. The favour, preference, and relative benefaction and blessing bestowed upon them are elaborated

وَمِنْ ءَابَآئِـهِـمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِـهِـمْ وَإِخْوَٟنِـهِـمْۖ

And Our Majesty blessed and guided some of their fathers - forefathers; and some of their progenies and their brothers.

وَٱجْتَبَيْنَٟهُـمْ وَهَدَيْنَٟهُـمْ إِلَـىٰ صِـرَٟطٛ مُّسْتَقِيـمٛ .٨٧

Stay informed; Our Majesty had personally selected them (afore-named personalities) as a distinct group and had guided them to call the people to the High Road Course that keeps heading safely and stably to the destination of peace and tranquillity.

The Form-VIII verb ٱجْتَبَيْنَٟهُـمْ includes doing an action gracefully and carefully with predetermined objective. It stems from Root ج ب و. Ibn Faris stated"(يدل على جَمْع الشيء والتجمُّع) it leads to the perception of collection of thing, accumulation and rendering it a cluster, group". In Form-VIII it signifies collecting in the way of choice or selection in preference. It thus signifies them as the Galaxy of Men of the personal choice of Allah the Exalted. The يَآءُ النِسْبَةِ consonant of relative association also declares them a unique group of determined number of Men who were to appear in the world in succession.

The narrative is interrupted by a parenthetical statement to amalgamate the past in the present scenario before making a concluding statement about the eighteen named members of the exalted Galaxy

ذَٟلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ

-- This Book (Grand Qur’ān) is now the Guidance of Allah the Exalted.

يَـهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۚ

He the Exalted guides through it a person about whom He decides to be guided out of His subjects-people --.

وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَحَبِطَ عَنْـهُـم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ .٨٨

Know it, had they assigned partners with Allah the Exalted; indeed the acts they had earlier performed would have become voided, weightless froth --. (read with 380)

Their further distinction and exalted status is pronounced

إِنَّـآ أَخْلَصْنَٟهُـم بِخَالِصَةٛ ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ .٤٦

Know the fact; Our Majesty had made them exclusive to remain sincerely at Our service; giving them in return the repute of the purest and the sincerest exclusive example for repeated mentioning - veneration in the World.

The Supreme Sovereign of the Universes emphasised about them أَخْلَصْنَٟهُـم. The Form-IV verb renders the object reverted from one state to another giving it the attribute and character inherent in its verbal noun اِخْلاَصٌ and Root خ ل ص. It signifies they were selected and exclusively chosen as service providers with absolute sincerity, purity and piety. The affect of the verb renders the members of this galaxy as ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ which is Form-IV Passive Participle. The first time use of this Passive Participle in the episode of Yu'suf alahissalam affirms that this selective character is since birth and before appointment as the Messenger

وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِۦۖ

(But she did not care) And indeed she had already become determined to associate with him to appease her emotional disquiet—

وَهَـمَّ بِـهَا لَوْلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرْهَٟنَ رَبِّهِۦۚ

-- And had he not seen the veracity of statement of his Sustainer Lord , he might have inclined-floated in passion associating with her —

كَذَٟلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءَۚ

That was the reason of restraint. The grant of discriminative intelligence was for Our Majesty intended averting from him the evil and the illicit sexual activity —

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ .٢٤

Indeed he (Yu'suf alahissalam) was selected since birth as being one of Our exclusively chosen allegiant servant--.

The Passive Participle ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ is adjectival description of possessive phrase عِبَادِنَا "the allegiant servants of Our Majesty". Ieb'lees (Satan) is the first who used this participle acknowledging their steadfast, resolute and staunch loyalty and selflessness

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى

He (Ieb'lees) said "My Sustainer Lord! Your Majesty has since condemned and ruined me because of human being —

لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَـهُـمْ فِـى ٱلۡأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّـهُـمْ أَجْـمَعِيـنَ .٣٩

I swear, I will certainly make for them fascination in the Earth by false hopes, desires and lust and of course I will certainly distract and thereby ruin them, all collectively —

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْـهُـمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ .٤٠

Exception to my promised Endeavour against humanity is only with regard to those of them (human beings) who are exclusively chosen as absolutely sincere allegiants of You the Exalted, and those who would have become embodiment of sincerity."

Responding to the grant of respite he had boasted but repeated his resolve of not trying upon ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ which refers ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ the galaxy of Men declared prominently exalted over the created realm and selected to exclusively serve Allah the Exalted

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّـهُـمْ أَجْـمَعِيـنَ .٨٢

He (Ieb'lees) said, "Since You have given me respite I swear by Your Dominance and Dignity; I will certainly distract and thereby ruin them, all collectively —

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْـهُـمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ .٨٣

Exception to my promised Endeavour against humanity is only with regard to those who are exclusively chosen as absolutely sincere allegiants of You the Exalted."

The Accomplisher of the Galaxy of ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ, which refers ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ, who is appointed the Universal Messenger, is asked to elaborate this distinguishing characteristic of selection for service with reference to his own person

قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِـى وَنُسُكِـى

You the Messenger pronounce - make it public for humanity "It is a fact that my Sa'laat time bound Protocol of servitude and allegiance, and all my physical conduct-protocols—

وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِـى

And my entire life and my natural death—

لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ .١٦٢

Were and are administered exclusively and solely for Allah the Exalted, the Sustainer Lord of the Universes-all that exists.

"My living and my natural death" covers every single moment from taking existence to last breath. This is the complete biography of the elevated Messenger before and after having been given the Grand Qur’ān, succinctly summed up in a single sentence. As we continue analytically studying Qur’ān, we will find that it describes the life of our Leader including his privacies of bed room quite explicitly that we can see it even today as moving. We know impressions of movement do not fade.

This pronouncement covers every moment from thought of creating physical realm to eternity. This is peak and sublime actualization of the concept and content encoded in the passive participle ٱلْمُخْلَصِيـنَ. Grand Qur’ān seems embodiment of the person of the exalted Messenger and his life seems personification of Grand Qur’ān.

They all are personification of sincerity and white light with no black dot. Their reward for serving as Personal Servants of the Supreme Sovereign of the Universes is that they are declared worthy of veneration in the World

إِنَّـآ أَخْلَصْنَٟهُـم بِخَالِصَةٛ ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ .٤٦

Know the fact; Our Majesty had made them exclusive to remain sincerely at Our service; giving them in return the repute of the purest and the sincerest exclusive example for repeated mentioning in the World.

The preposition بـِ in the phrase is for العوض أو المقابلة compensation. The semantic function carried by this is the sense of rewarding, in that something is given or taken in return for something else. Alternatively it can be estimated as لِلمُصَاحَبَةِ for accompaniment in the meaning of مع along with. The best reward is mentioned by equivalent appositive ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ which is a definite possessive phrase signifying the ever revolving repute, remembrance, and mention. It is specifically mentioned

قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

You the Messenger pronounce "The Infinite Glory and Praise eternally is entirely and exclusively for Allah the Exalted.

وَسَلَٟمٌ عَلَـىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓۗ

And/while paying homage, respects and salutations upon those is prescribed whom He the Exalted has personally declared as elevated and exalted in creations."

ءَآللَّهُ خَيْـرٌ أَمَّا يُشْـرِكُونَ .٥٩

Do they realize not, Allah is the Superb and Exalted than what they associate with Him?

The second nominal sentence has indefinite topic and predicate is elided. This happens either when preceded by circumstantial (واو الحال) conjunction particle, or sentence is supplication, greeting; or saluting with acknowledgement of elevated and honoured position. Lastly it can be for rhetorical benefit. The meanings of the topic and elided predicate are self evident by the mention of specified allegiant - servants that people are put under an obligation to pay homage and salutation recognizing them worthy of veneration.

The distinct feature of these servants of Allah the Exalted, the Supreme Sovereign of kingdom extending beyond the Universe to infinite boundaries, is depicted by the verbal sentence ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ, where verb is Form-VIII from verbal noun اِصْطِفَاءٌ, and Root ص ف و. It embeds perception of clarity, purity and sincerity void of all sorts of mixtures, combinations and commingling. It signifies to choose someone in preference to others and distinguish him particularly or specially. It exalts him above, or exclusively of others by something. Why are they declared distinguished and venerated in entire timeline is revealed and emphasised by rhetoric device of repetition of topic sentence at another place at the close of speech

سُبْحَٟنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .١٨٠

The Sustainer Lord of you the Messenger, the Absolutely Dominant Sustainer Lord, is Infinitely Glorious and the focus of all effort; above all what they conjecturally attribute.

وَسَلَٟمٌ عَلَـىٰ ٱلْمُـرْسَلِيـنَ .١٨١

And paying homage, respects and salutations upon those is prescribed whom He the Exalted sent as Messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ .١٨٢

And the Infinite Glory and Praise stands specified eternally, entirely and exclusively for Allah the Exalted, the Sustainer Lord of the Known-Multiple universes - All that exists.

Who and why are they distinguished and venerated is explained that they were sent as the Messengers - spokespersons of Allah the Exalted and were at His service. With regard to repute and their remembrance and oft-mention the Universal Messenger is informed

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ .٤

And Our Majesty have exalted for you the Messenger your mention/remembrance/repute —

The distinct feature of these servants of Allah the Exalted depicted by the verbal sentence ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ makes them

وَإِنَّـهُـمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْـنَ ٱلۡأَخْيَارِ .٤٧

And this is a fact that they are, in the judgment of Our Majesty, certainly the members of the galaxy of best choice, distinguished and venerated are perpetually the Best Persons.

وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْـمَٟعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْـكِفْلِۖ

And you the Messenger mention Iesma'eile and Al'Yas'aa and Zal-Kif'le .

وَكُلّٚ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَخْيَارِ .٤٨

And each one of them (persons here before mentioned) without exception shall remain perpetually the member of galaxy of the Best Persons.

Allah the Exalted has declared and described them (ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ) in this circumstantial clause by adjectival phrase ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْـنَ ٱلۡأَخْيَارِ comprising of definite plural passive participle and adjective resembling participle (الصفة المشبهة) which refers intrinsic and perpetual attribute. Circumstantial expression often expresses nuances of purpose or finality and describes the state of the object only while the sentential verb (ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ) was under enactment. Both the attributes are evaluative and judgmental and are adjudged (عِندَنَا) by His Majesty, Allah the Exalted. It declares them embodiment and personification of the highest standards of perfection in the created Realm whereby they are ever the great and exalted over the entire creation, an honour not bestowed upon any other creation.

A mere semantic analysis of the words associated with this Galaxy of Men would suffice to know their greatness and enable us acknowledge, revere and salute them. The concept encoded in the Root, Verbal Noun, and the peculiar feature of the adjective resembling participle ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ declare them galaxy of those Men who have the permanent attribute of distinctly elevated and exalted above all others in the created realm; dignified and distinguished over all others creation. Their par excellence attribute is that they are the personal choice of the Creator of all that exists, Allah the Supremely Exalted, Who is pleased to pronounce that they are for ever the best selection in the judgment of Him the Exalted.

They constitute exclusively a Unique Group, distinct and exalted from all members of rational species. We are not given the exact number of Men who are the Members of this Unique Group. However, we are informed that Allah the Exalted has granted distinction to some Members of this Group upon its other Members.

وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۦنَ عَلَـىٰ بَعْضٛۖ

And fact remains that Our Majesty have granted unique distinction-peculiarity-individuality to members of the Galaxy of Chosen, Dignified and Exalted Sincere Allegiants upon some others.

Mazhar

The choice for grant of exalted stature is since their "Abstract existence", thus born with declaration as the great. Allah the Exalted pronounced

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٙ وَٟحِدَةٙ

The people used to be a singular harmonious unit-group.

فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ مُبَشِّـرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ

Thereby, , Allah the Exalted brought into the world (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ) the Chosen and elevated allegiant - subjects to appoint them Messengers assigning the responsibility to assure-guarantee glad tidings and to caution - awaken the people.

The choice of the verb بَعَثَ is very meaningful since it is semantically heavily loaded. Its primary, conceptual meaning (also called "denotative" or "cognitive" meaning) is bringing up, raising into the world; act of presenting on the scene; awaking. Its analogy is like seeds that generally "wake up" and germinate when soil moisture and temperature conditions are favourable for them to grow. It has built-in connotative meaning of prior existence of the object in dormant state. The communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its conceptual meanings is termed connotative meaning.

The first question of Metaphysics or first philosophy is existence and first cause. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy which Aristotle called as "first philosophy". It deals with the nature of existence, the being and the world and it is a subject that deals with "first causes and the principles of things". So the study of metaphysics has but to start from Man's own existence. It is no coincidence that the first occurrence of the word of semantic domain خ ل ق "creation" is about creation of humanity, reflecting the honour it has in the physical realm, and being the cause behind all created realm, though he was made to emerge/take existence in physical form when all arrangements commensurate to his status and security were set in place (2317). The cause behind "creation" is the "intent" (اِرَادَةٌ; أَرَادَ) of the Creator

بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٟوَٟتِ وَٱلۡأَرْضِۚ

He the Exalted is the Primal Originator and Accomplisher of the Skies and the Earth.

وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرٙا

Be informed, Provided He the Exalted has finalized-decided-completed any matter-thing, individual event —

فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُنْ

Thereat, He the Exalted merely expresses verbally for that thing-matter-affair-person, saying; "You become in evident-tangibly existing state".

فَيَكُونُ .١١٧

In compliance thereof and in determined natural course that (abstract but effected thing- matter - affair - person) takes existence in physical realm (which can be known- cognizable by others).

It is thus explicit that before creation, any object - affair is decided and accomplished which becomes an abstract reality described by Adjectival Phrase أَمْرٙا مَّقْضِيّٙا. It will become a physical reality whenever asked to take existence in the physical realm because

وَكَانَ أَمْـرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولٙا .٤٧

Be mindful; the decision and commands of Allah the Exalted is bound to get executed and become physically accomplished.

It is thus evident that Allah the Exalted is referring to; let us presume for convenience of our perception, an "idea/thought" of a thing that has yet to emerge in its physical shape-existence as an "object". It indicates that the "image" or "verbal specification" of the object-thing exists prior to its physical manifestation. This also holds true for such human creators who develop or invent something from the already existing matter, though it may be vague at idea stage.

Our knowledge is dependent upon the existence of matter and awareness of its name-code, which verbally mirrors it through words composed with letters and consonants of a language making us cognizant of it. Cognizant is he who can verbally mirror the image of that thing for others. This being the ground reality, We could not say with certainty regarding whether thought-idea-image-name-word mirroring the physical object is the first in existence, or the object mirrored by that Word was first in existence. Grand Qur’ān has clarified for us in simple words that the idea, thought, wish and will of a Living Being precedes the emergence of a physical reality. The idea, thought and perception and verbal description of the thing precedes its taking physical existence. It comes into Physical Realm only in compliance to a Word.

There is mention of 23 Members of Galaxy in the Divine Discourse by name. After mentioning 18 of them by name they are described

أُو۟لَـٟٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحُكْـمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَۚ

They (aforementioned 18 Messengers) are the Men whom Our Majesty had given the Book; and the faculty of distinguishing wisdom and decision power (in childhood) and the Elevated status and distinction over all other creation (at birth by simultaneously descending the book earmarked for them-2213).

The sequencing of granted (ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ) three objects is by time frame moving from present to remote past; from state of strengthen maturity to their childhood and birth. The status of elevation and distinction (ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ) is their intrinsic feature on birth; and were granted the Book (ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ) on being assigned the responsibility of the Messenger; while in between they were granted ٱلْحُكْـمَ, the faculty of wisdom of restraining doing an evil, injustice and wrongful act. It is verbal noun that signifies the occurrence of an action or a state without association with a tense of time; therefore, it is situational. The fact that the Members of Galaxy were so selected and existed in Abstract Realm before (فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ) they were given existence in the physical realm. They were thus born with intrinsic identity of great and exalted over other creation. It is made explicit by mention of biography of some members of this Galaxy

فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَٟٓئِكَـةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٚ يُصَلِّـى فِـى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ

His prayer was accepted whereby the Angels called upon him (Zakaria alai'his'slaam), while he was standing for As-sa'laat Time Bound Protocol of Servitude and allegiance, in the Secluded Chamber —

أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّـرُكَ بِيَحْيَـىٰ

That, "Indeed, Allah the Exalted congratulates you with good news of Yahya —

مُصَدِّقَـاۢ بِكَلِمَةٛ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ

He will be an affirmer and testifier; this news conveyed to you is with the word- promise of Allah the Exalted.

وَسَيِّدٙا وَحَصُورٙا وَنَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٣٩

And he will be honoured as distinguished dignitary and encircled by people in attendance; and at birth would be Elevated-Chosen Servant , one of the distinguished righteous".

It is again mentioned

يـٟزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّـرُكَ بِغُلَٟمٛ ٱسْـمُهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ

"O Zakaria! Indeed Our Majesty are conveying you good news of a son, his name is Yahya —

لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ سَـمِيّٙا .٧

Our Majesty have not declared in foretimes this cognition of name to anyone for his sake."

Upon receiving gladdening information of son named Yahya and his exalted stature at birth, he could not resist inquisitiveness, a natural urge in such circumstances, and enquired for further information.

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّـىٰ يَكُونُ لِـى غُلَٟمٚ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِىَ ٱلْـكِـبَـرُ وَٱمْرَأَتِـى عَاقِرٚۖ

He said "My Sustainer Lord! I am curious to know how a boy- male child would take existence for me in circumstances while old age has already overtaken me to its extremity; and further my wife is infertile?"

قَالَ كَذَٟلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ .٤٠

He the Exalted conveyed; "Exactly in the same circumstances it will happen as promised. Allah the Exalted does innovatively- new and creative—unprecedented whatever that He desires and decides."

It is indicated that his extreme old age was not the handicap and the handicap suffered by his wife was rectified/cured

وَزَكَرِيَّآ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ

And mention about Zakaria when he called his Sustainer Lord —

رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِـى فَرْدٙا وَأَنتَ خَيْـرُ ٱلْوَٟرِثِيـنَ .٨٩

"My Sustainer Lord, do leave me not in the state of a solitary individual, while the fact remains that You are the best of the inheritors."

فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ

Whereupon Our Majesty responded for him, and We bestowed for him Yahya —

وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُۥ زَوْجَهُۥٓ

And Our Majesty perfected—cured for him his wife .

The other two exclusive features - attributes of the life after birth of the member of said Galaxy were

يـٟيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ بِقُوَّةٛۖ

"O Yahya! You hold the Book implementing it with firmness".

وَءَاتَيْنَـٟهُ ٱلْحُكْـمَ صَبِيّٙا .١٢

And earlier Our Majesty had given him the faculty of distinguishing wisdom, decision power, while he was still a child —

The childhood of another two members of the Galaxy, i.e. Iesma'eile and Yusuf is also mentioned in the Discourse that reflects they were bestowed wisdom and decision power very early to keep their lives spotless of any blame or shame- worthy instance.

The fact that the Members of this Galaxy are endowed this exalted characteristic since birth is explicit from another mentioned instance

وَبَشَّـرْنَٟهُ بِإِسْحَٟقَ نَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .١١٢

And Our Majesty delighted him (Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam) with the news of Ies'hauq to be born as Elevated and Chosen Allegiant, one of the distinguished Perfectionists.

The son was born in similar circumstances

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ قَآئِمَةٚ فَضَحِكَتْ

While his wife was standing , Hearing the news of a son she laughed,

فَبَشَّـرْنَـٰـهَا بِإِسْحَٟقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَٟقَ يَعْقُوبَ .٧١

Thereat, Our Majesty had given her the good news of Ies'hauq and after Ies'hauq grandson Ya'qoob .

قَالَتْ يَٟوَيْلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۟ عَجُوزٚ وَهَـٟذَا بَعْلِـى شَيْخٙاۖ

She exclaimed; "how serious a thing for me! Will I give birth to a child while I am aged woman and this, my husband, is in very old stage.

إِنَّ هَـٟذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِىبٚ .٧٢

Indeed this would certainly be a strange, unheard, amazing phenomenon."

It is further explained

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْـهُـمْ خِيفَةٙۖ

Thereat, (finding them not taking food) he felt the perception of slight apprehension from them (without exhibiting on face) —

قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْۖ

They said, "Please be not apprehensive —

وَبَشَّـرُوهُ بِغُلَٟمٛ عَلِيـمٛ .٢٨

And they gave him the good news of birth of a highly knowledgeable son.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِـى صَرَّةٛ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا

Sequel to listening this, his wife came in face to face in a contracted/wrapped state, immediately realizing having reflexively entered, feeling shy she covered her face with hand—

وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيـمٚ .٢٩

And said, "An old barren woman! "

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٟلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ

They replied to her, "This will happen in this condition; because, Madam, this has been said by the Sustainer Lord of you —

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيـمُ ٱلْعَلِيـمُ .٣٠

Indeed He the Exalted is Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realms; the Fountain and Setter of knowledge - science of visible and invisible domains.".
