Ayat 2. The revelation of the Book (this Qur’an) is from Allah the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.
Ayat 3. The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favour), La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return.
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) Ayat 01 to 03. Ha Mim. 2. The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge, and This verse is the same as 39:1, except for the last words describing the attribute of Allah. In S. 39:1, it was “Full of Wisdom”, because stress was laid on the wisdom of Allah’s Plan in ordering His World. In this Surah the stress is laid on Allah’s Knowledge, before which the shallow knowledge of men is vain (40:83). 3. Who forgives sin, accepts Repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things), there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal. Allah’s knowledge is supreme and all-reaching. But there are other attributes of His, which concern us even more intimately; e.g., He forgives sin and accepts our repentance when it is sincere and results in our change of heart and life: but He is also just, and strict in punishment; and so no loophole will be left for Evil except in repentance. And further, all His attributes reach forward to everything: His Mercy, as well as His Knowledge and Justice; His Bounties as well as His Punishments.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.”
[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 2910]
Lesson : as mentioned in Surah Maryam Ayat 97.”We have made this (the Qur’an) easy”. This Hadith urges us to recite the Qur’an and also mentions the great reward for reciting it.
