Editing: Ta Ha

Description <p><strong>Explanatory Note</strong></p> <p>These opening verses give the sūrah a tender start beginning with two letter sounds, Ţā Ha, to indicate that this sūrah, like the entire Qur’ān, is made up of letters from the Arabic alphabet, as we have explained in earlier volumes. The two letters chosen here have the same sound-ending as the verses of the sūrah.</p> <p>We then have a reference to the Qur’ān, in the same way as other sūrahs commencing with separate letters, but the reference here is made in the form of an address to the Prophet [peace be on him] .<strong> “We did not bestow this Qur’ān on you from on high to cause you distress.</strong>” (Verse 2) We have not revealed this Qur’ān so that it leads you to a state of distress. We do not want to make things hard for you requiring that you recite it in worship going beyond the limits of human ability. In fact, the Qur’ān is made easy for remembrance, and whatever requirements and duties it imposes are easy for people to fulfil. It only imposes duties that are well within human ability. Reciting it during worship is a blessing, providing us with an opportunity to be in touch with the Supreme Society from whom we derive strength, reassurance, contentment and a feeling of companionship.</p>
