(Ashoora) 42 : 2
عسق

Ain, Seen, Qaaf.

‘Ain’ denotes the first alphabet of Eisa in Arabic, ‘Seen’ denotes the second letter of Moosa in Arabic, and ‘Qaaf’ denotes the first letter in the Quran which means repeated reading. That means, as told in verse 13 of this Surath, the way of life which was commanded to be established to the Messengers Moses (Moosa) and Jesus (Eisa), and the only way of life which Allah is satisfied with for His entire mankind from the first to the last, is what Adhikr submits as explained in verse 3:19. All the Books revealed from Allah are for repeated reading as explained in verses 15:90–91; and the Book revealed to all Messengers is Adhikr as told in verses 4:163–164 and 41:41–43. See explanation 2:136; 4:136 and 5:48.
