So, I call to witness what you see
So by oath of the things you see.
No! I swear by that you see
BUT NAY! I call to witness an that you can see,
I swear by that which ye see.
So I swear by whatsoever you see,
Indeed, I swear by what you see.
But no; I swear by what you see,
So, I swear by whatsoever you see,
But nay! I swear by all that ye see

I do not need to swear by what you see
But nay! I swear by that which you see,

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
Allah takes an oath on whatever you see.
Allah takes an oath on whatever you see.
<p>فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُ‌ونَ وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُ‌ونَ (I swear by what you see, and what you do not see….69:38-39). This comprehends the entire body of creation. Some say 'what you do not see' refers to the Being of Allah Ta` ala and His attributes. Others say 'what you see' refers to things of the mortal world, and 'what you do not see,' refers to things of the Hereafter. [ Mazhari ] And Allah, the Pure and Exalted, Knows best!</p>

<h2 class="title">The Qur'an is the Speech of Allah</h2><p>Allah swears by His creation, in which some of His signs can be seen in His creatures. These also indicate the perfection of His Names and Attributes. He then swears by the hidden things that they cannot see. This is an oath swearing that the Qur'an is His Speech, His inspiration and His revelation to His servant and Messenger, whom He chose to convey His Message, and the Messenger carried out this trust faithfully. So Allah says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ - وَمَا لاَ تُبْصِرُونَ - إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ </div><p>(So I swear by whatsoever you see, and by whatsoever you see not, that this is verily the word of an honored Messenger.) meaning, Muhammad . Allah gave this description to him, a description which carries the meaning of conveying, because the duty of a messenger is to convey from the sender. Therefore, Allah gave this description to the angelic Messenger in Surat At-Takwir, where he said,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ مُّطَـعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ </div><p>(Verily, this is the Word of (this Qur'an brought by) a most honorable messenger. Owner of power (and high rank) with Allah, the Lord of the Throne. Obeyed and trustworthy.) (81:19-21) And here, it refers to Jibril. Then Allah says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَمَا صَـحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ </div><p>(and your companion is not a madman. ) (81:22) meaning, Muhammad .</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِالاٍّفُقِ الْمُبِينِ </div><p>(And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon.) (81:23) meaning, Muhammad saw Jibril in his true form in which Allah created him.</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ </div><p>(And he is not Danin with the Unseen.) (81:24) meaning, suspicious.</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـنٍ رَّجِيمٍ </div><p>(And it (the Qur'an) is not he word of the outcast Shaytan.) (81:25) This is similar to what is being said here.</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ - وَلاَ بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ </div><p>(It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe! Nor is it the word of soothsayer, little is that you remember!) So in one instance Allah applies the term messenger to the angelic Messenger and in another instance He applies it to the human Messenger (Muhammad ). This is because both of them are conveying from Allah that which has been entrusted to them of Allah's revelation and Speech. Thus, Allah says,</p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ </div><p>(This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of all that exists.)</p>
