Overall meaning : Whatever is in the heavens and the earth extols Allah’s limitless glory and declares Him free from all defects and imperfections. He is the True Sovereign, the All-Pure and the All-Perfect; the All-Mighty, who holds absolute sway over all that exists; the All-Wise, who places everything in its perfect place.
It is He who has raised up amidst the Arabs an unlettered messenger from amongst themselves to recite to them the verses of the Qur’an, to purify them from evil, corrupt manners and deviant beliefs and to teach them the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah (the Prophet’s practice), for indeed they have been before his advent clearly far astray from the truth. He has also sent His Messenger to others—both illiterate and literate, Arabs and non-Arabs alike—yet to come after them. He is the All-Mighty, who holds absolute sway over all that exists; the All-Wise, who places everything in its perfect place. Such is Allah’s grace, which He bestows on whomever He pleases of His servants. Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
