Tafseer: Read, And the Most Generous Will Teach You!

Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
[Surah al-‘Alaq 96:3]

Imaam al-Qoortubee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] explained:

Al-Akraam means He is al-Kareem[1]

Some of the commentators of the Qur’aan said that this Aayah means, Read, oh Muhammad! And Your Lord will Assist you and Give you understanding, even though you are illiterate.

[Tafseer al-Qurtoobee (22/377)]



[1]  Al-Kareem, al-Akram, Dhu Jalaal wal-Ikraam means He is, the Glorified and Exalted, the Possessor of Glory and Generosity. He is the Possessor of Power and Magnitude, Honour and Majesty. The One Who has Magnitude and is Revered and Glorified, and because of it He is al-Ikraam, the One Who Gives from His Favours and Generosity. He is extremely vast in Graciousness and Splendor. The One Who is Generous (al-Kareem) to His slaves that obey Him, those that glorify Him, praise Him and love Him.  [Taken from Tafseer as-Sa’dee (Pg. 830)]
