al-Ḥajj 22:16

The Qurʾān · Sūra 22: al-Ḥajj · verse 16

This commentary was written by Claude (Anthropic); it carries no religious authority and should be checked against the classical sources.

22/16

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يُرِيدُ

Wa kadhālika anzalnāhu āyātin bayyināt · Wa anna'llāha yahdī man yurīd

"Thus have We sent it down as clear signs. And God guides whom He wills."

The verse closes the second block. One of the three grounds refused in the eighth verse was kitābin munīr (an illuminating book). The sixteenth verse reports that that book has been sent down.

I record this as an observation about word order, and its ground is the shared vocabulary of the two verses: munīr (illuminating) and bayyināt (clear) do the same work. What was lacking in the eighth verse is therefore supplied in the sixteenth: the ground is not absent — it has not been taken up.
