Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (this is the path of thy lord) this is the doing of your lord, (a straight path) a just path; it is also said this means: this islam is the religion of your lord which he is pleased with; it is straight and well established. (we have detailed our revelations) i.e. the qur'an, by explaining the commands and prohibitions, the causes of humiliation and the reasons for honour (for a people who take heed) for a people who understand and therefore believe. it is also said that (and whomsoever it is allah's will to guide) was revealed about the prophet (pbuh) and abu jahl; it is also said to have been revealed about 'ammar ibn yasir and abu jahl.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and this, [path] that you follow, o muhammad (s), is the path of your lord, a straight one, with no crookedness therein (mustaqīman, ‘straight’, is in the accusative because it is a circumstantial qualifier emphasising the [previous] statement, and it is operated by the import of the demonstrative noun [hādhā, ‘this’]). we have detailed, we have elucidated, the signs for a people who remember (yadhdhakkarūn: the original tā’ has been assimilated with the dhāl), that is to say, [a people] who heed admonition — such [people] are singled out for mention because they are the ones to profit [from the signs].
