What is the interpretation of the noble verses from Surat Al-Isra: {And with truth have We sent it down, and with truth has it descended. And We have not sent you except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And a Qur’an which We have separated by sections, that you may recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively}?
The pronoun in Allah Almighty’s saying: "And with the truth We have sent it down, and with the truth has it descended" refers to the Holy Quran. Its meaning is that We sent it down and it contains the truth, and its descent was with truth, which is divine wisdom. The address in "And We have not sent you" is to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it means that he was sent as a bearer of good tidings to the believers and a Warner to the disbelievers. As for the interpretation of "And a Qur’an which We have separated [into portions] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively," "separated [into portions]" is interpreted as it was detailed from the Preserved Tablet and descended gradually, little by little, to be recited to the people and recited to them bit by bit.
