Say, [Mohammed]: "I seek protection [of God] the Lord a [and Creator] of men," [3] 2.
"The King [and Owner] of men," b [5] 4.
"From the evil of the invisible whispering d," [6] 5.
"That whispers e
in the breasts of men," [Then God – be glorified – explained from whom such whispering

The word in the Arab language is the chief who has the sovereignty on his
people. 2 b While any other king: his kingdom
will inevitably disappear. 3 c The ‘god’ means the deity or the
worshipped one. 4 d Or that which slinks away from
the sight! 5 e The whispering or suggestion
issues from devils and evil souls, and the implication of the words reaches
to the memory so man will perceive it and understand its meaning. 6 f Devils in fact are the
disobedient genies. 6 g It means: the spirits of the
disobedient and hypocritical men. |

The interpreter of the
Quran and the Bible: Mohammed Ali Hassan Al-Hilly said: By God's help, the interpretation of the
Glorious Quran entitled (The interpretation of the Revelation) is completed;
written by Mohammed-Ali, son of Hassan, son of Mahmood,
Al-Hilly by residence, the Iraqi by country. So praise be
to God: for His guidance and for granting us success to achieve this, and for
His Grace and favor on us. The Translator E. A. Nassir
said: God – be glorified – honored me to
translate this valuable interpretation of the Quran; for His surplus is so
tremendous on us: to see whether we will be grateful or ungrateful; so all
praise and gratitude is due to Him: the Praiseworthy, the Most Gracious. |
