an unerringly Straight Book, meant to warn of a stern punishment from Allah, and to proclaim, to those who believe and work righteous deeds, the tiding that theirs shall be a good reward
— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Theek theek seedhi baat kehne wali kitaab, taa-ke woh logon ko khuda ke sakht azaab se khabardar karde, aur iman laa kar neik amal karne walon ko khush khabri de de ke unke liye accha ajar hai
