Surah at-Takwir (The Wrapping ) 81 : 23

Explanatory Note

This verse counters this attitude by a reference to the surpassing beauty of God’s creation, noticeable everywhere in the universe, and by portraying some universal scenes, as they appear, full of life. This method of reply suggests that the Qur’an comes from the same creative power which has endowed the universe with matchless beauty. It also tells them about the two messengers entrusted with the Qur’an, the one who brought it down and the one who delivered it to them, i.e. their own friend whom they knew to be sane, not mad. This verse tells them that he has indeed seen the other noble and mighty messenger, Gabriel, with his own eyes, on a clear horizon where no confusion is possible. He is faithful to his trust and cannot be suspected of telling anything but the truth.
