Transliteration:( 'Allamal Quran )
2. This means Allah Almighty has taught His all the Beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم words of the Holy Qur'aan, meanings of the Holy Qur'aan, laws of the Holy Qur'aan. mysteries of the Holy Qur'aan and the secrets of the Holy Qur'aan in a most excellent way. When did He teach all this? The truth of the matter is that these were taught to him before he was sent into the world. Hazrat Isa(On whom be peace) was taught the Book before he came into the world.
From this we understand that the knowledge of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is the direct bestowal of Allah Almighty without the medium of the creation. Thus, man cannot understand its estimation and calculation. Just as no instrument has yet been invented to measure the water of the ocean, the power of the word or the light of the sun, although electricity and water consumption from water works can be calculated through a meter, as man invented this. But, all His other discourses can only be understood through His Divine Book. From this we also learn that there is given the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم knowledge of all the metaphorical verses; because since the entire Qur'aan is taught to him then in it these metaphorical verses are included as well.

1. That is, the teaching of this Quran is not the production of a man’s mind but its Teacher is the Merciful God Himself. Here, there was no need to tell as to whom Allah had imparted this Quranic teaching for the people were hearing it from the tongue of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Therefore, the situation by itself made it evident that the teaching had been imparted to Muhammad (peace be upon him).
To begin the discourse with this sentence is meant, first of all, to tell that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself is not its author, but its Teacher is Allah Almighty. Furthermore, there is another object also to which the word Rahman (Merciful) is pointing. If the purpose was only to say that that teaching is from Allah, and not the production of the Prophet’s mind, there was no need to use an attribute of Allah instead of His proper name, and for that purpose any attribute from among the divine attributes could have been adopted, But when, instead of saying that Allah, or the Creator, or the Provider, has taught this, it was said: The Merciful (Ar- Rahman) has taught this Quran, it by itself gave the meaning that the revelation of the Quran for the guidance of mankind was nothing but Allah’s mercy and grace, As He is most kind and Merciful to His creation, He did not like that He should leave them wandering in the darkness, and His mercy demanded that He should send down this Quran to bless them with the knowledge on which depends their right guidance and conduct in the world and their success and well-being in the Hereafter,
