Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Say O Muhammad (s) ‘Praise be to God for the destruction of the disbelievers of past communities and peace be on His servants whom He has chosen’. Is God read a-Allāhu pronouncing both hamzas; or by substituting an alif for the second one; or by not pronouncing the second one but inserting an alif between the one not pronounced and the other one or without such an insertion better for those who worship Him or the partners which they ascribe? read either tushrikūna ‘you ascribe’ or yushrikūna ‘they ascribe’ they being the people of Mecca the partners they ascribe to Him in other words are such gods better for those who worship them?

(Say) O Muhammad: (Praise be to Allah) thanks and gratitude to Allah for their destruction, (and peace) happiness and safety (be on His slaves whom He hath chosen!) whom He selected for prophethood; it is also said that this means: Allah selected them for Islam, and these are the community of Muhammad (pbuh) (Is Allah best) say, O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: is the worship of Allah better, (or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)) or the worship of the idols which they associate with Allah?
