Fāṭir 35:31

The Qurʾān · Sūra 35: Fāṭir · verse 31

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

35/31

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

"The Book We have revealed to you is the truth itself, confirming what came before it."

مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْه — "confirming what is before it".

The same expression was treated in al-Aḥqāf at 46/12 and 46/30 — there it occurred both from the text itself and from the mouths of the jinn as an attaching to the chain. I rely on that treatment.

And the place of the verse within this sūra is worth recording: the next verse (32) will speak of the Book's being left as an inheritance. That is: first the Book's relation to the preceding link, then its handing on to the following one.

I record this as an observation about the word order: together the two verses hold the two ends of a chain — confirmation backwards, inheritance forwards.
