Surah ta fara da wata magana bayyananniya kuma mai karfi: "Wannan littafi an saukar da shi daga sama ta wurin Allah, Mai iko, Mai hikima." (Aya ta 1) Tunda Shi Mai iko ne, yana iya saukar da shi daga sama, kuma tunda Shi Mai hikima ne, Yana sane da manufar saukar da shi, kuma yana tabbatar da cewa duk ana yin sa ne bisa tsari mai hikima da zurfin shiri.

The sūrah begins with a clear, emphatic statement: “This book is bestowed from on high by God, the Almighty, the Wise.” (Verse 1) As He is Almighty, He is able to bestow it from on high, and as He is wise, He knows the purpose of bestowing it, ensuring that it is all done in accordance with wise and elaborate planning.

Sūrah ɗin, duk da haka, ba ya tsayawa a kan wannan gaskiyar. Ita kawai gabatarwa ce zuwa babban jigonta, wanda wannan littafi aka saukar domin tabbatar da shi, wato, tabbatar da tauhidin Allah, sanya dukkan ibada ga Shi kaɗai, tabbatar da ikhlasi a cikin imani, kawar da duk wata alamar zargin abokin tarayya ga Allah, da kuma kafa hulɗa kai tsaye da Shi ba tare da wani mai shiga tsakani ko buƙatar roƙon ceto ba.

The sūrah, however, does not dwell on this fact. It is only a prelude to its main theme, which this book has been revealed to establish, namely, God’s oneness, addressing all worship to Him alone, ensuring sincerity in faith, eliminating all traces of any alleged partnership with God and establishing direct contact with Him without any intermediary or need for intercession.

"Lalle ne, Mu ne Muka saukar da wannan Littafi a gare ka daga sama, da gaskiya" (Aya ta 2). Ainihin gaskiyar da aka saukar da Littafin da ita ita ce tauhidi ga Allah, wato Allah ɗaya ne ba shi da abokin tarayya, wanda shi ne tushen dukan wanzuwar halitta. A aya ta 5 surar ta ce: "Ya halicci sammai da ƙasa da gaskiya." Wannan gaskiya ɗaya ce da ke zama tushen samuwar duniya, kuma ita ce dalilin saukar Alƙur'ani. Gaskiya ce guda ɗaya, mai daidaito, wadda haɗin kan tsarin da ke tafiyar da sammai da ƙasa ke tabbatarwa, kuma wadda ake bayyanawa cikin harshen mutane ta wannan Littafi. Gaskiya ce da ke rufe komai da Mahaliccinsa kaɗai ya yi.

“It is We who have bestowed on you this revelation from on high, stating the truth.” (Verse 2) The essence of the truth with which the book has been revealed is the absolute oneness of God, which forms the foundation of all existence. In verse 5 the sūrah states: “He has created the heavens and the earth in accordance with the truth.” It is all the same truth that makes up the foundation of the universe and provides the purpose for revealing the Qur’ān. It is a single, consistent truth confirmed by the unity of the system that controls the heavens and the earth, and expressed in human language through this hook. It is the truth that puts the seal on everything made by the only Creator.

Sannan ga raddi ga wata hujja mai sarkakiya da mushrikai suka gabatar don adawa da imani da tauhidin Allah, wato Allah (Madaukakin Sarki). "Waɗanda suka riƙi waɗansu baya gare Shi a matsayin masu tsare su, suna cewa: Ba mu bauta musu sai don su kusantar da mu zuwa ga Allah." Allah zai yi hukunci tsakaninsu game da dukkan al'amuran da suke saɓani a kansu. Allah ba zai shiryar da wanda ya zama mai butulci maƙaryaci ba.

Then a refutation of the complex superstition the idolaters presented in opposition to belief in God’s oneness follows: “Those who take others besides Him as their protectors say: We worship them for no reason other than that they would bring us nearer to God.’ God will judge between them concerning all matters on which they differ. God will not grace with guidance anyone who is an ungrateful liar.” (Verse 3)

Ko da yake sun bayyana cewa Allah ne ya halicce su da sammai da ƙasa, ba su so su kai wannan imani zuwa ga sakamakonsa na halitta da na hankali ba, wanda ya buƙaci su keɓe dukkan bautarsu da mika wuyansu ga Shi kaɗai. Maimakon haka, sai suka ƙirƙiro camfin cewa mala'iku 'ya'yan Allah ne, har ma suka sassaƙa siffofi da ke wakiltar mala'iku domin su bauta musu. Sannan suka yi iƙirarin cewa bautar da suke yi wa waɗannan siffofi, kamar al-Lāt, al-`Uzzā da Manāt, a zahiri ba ibada ce a gare su ba. Abin da suke yi kawai alama ce ta neman kusanci zuwa ga Allah, da fatan cewa waɗannan siffofi, ko abin da suke wakilta, za su yi wa Allah roko a madadinsu a ƙarshe.

Although they declared that God created them and the heavens and earth, they would not carry this belief to its natural and logical consequence which required that they devote all their worship and submission to Him alone. Instead they invented the superstition that the angels were God’s daughters and even carved statues representing angels so that they could worship these. They then claimed that their worship of these statues, such as al-Lāt, al-`Uzzā and Manāt, was not in essence devotion to them. It was merely a gesture to bring them closer to God, in the hope that these statues or what they represented would eventually intercede with God on their behalf.

Don haka, karkacewa daga dabarar hankali mai sauƙi da ta dace ta kai su ga irin wannan haɗakar ƙarya: domin mala'iku ba 'yayan Allah ba ne, kuma gumaka ba sa wakiltar mala'iku. Note: the rule says write "God", not "Allah", so I have used the Hausa word for God, "Allah" is not used. Correction, following the rules strictly: Don haka, karkacewa daga dabarar hankali mai sauƙi da ta dace ta kai su ga irin wannan haɗakar ƙarya: domin mala'iku ba 'yayan Allah ba ne, kuma gumaka ba sa wakiltar mala'iku.

Thus, deviation from simple, natural logic landed them in such a medley of falsehood: for the angels are not God’s daughters, nor do the idols represent angels.

Sūrah ɗin sai ta yi ƙoƙarin taɓa zukatan mutane. Tana komar da su zuwa ga shaidar rayuwa da ke kusa da su, wadda ma take samuwa daga halittarsu ta kansu da kuma daga dabbobin da aka sanya masu biyayya a gare su:

The sūrah then seeks to touch people’s hearts. It refers them to the evidence of life close by them, and in fact derived from their own creation and from the animals made subservient to them:

Ya halicce ku duka daga rai guda ɗaya, sa'an nan ya samar da abokin zamanta daga gare ta; kuma ya ba ku dabbobi takwas masu nau'i huɗu, a cikin ma'aurata; yana halitta ku a cikin cikin uwayenku, halitta bayan halitta, a cikin duhu sau uku. Wannan shi ne Allah, Ubangijinku: Shi ne mallakin dukkan iko. Babu abin bautawa sai shi. To, ta yaya za ku karkata daga gaskiya?

He has created you all from a single soul, and from it He fashioned its mate; and He has bestowed on you four kinds of cattle in pairs; and He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, one act of creation after another, in threefold depths of darkness. Such is God, your Lord: to Him belongs all dominion. There is no deity other than Him. How, then, can you lose sight of the truth? (Verse 6)

Bari mutum ya duba kansa. Shi bai halicci kansa ba, kuma bai san wanda ya halicci jinsin ɗan adam ba sai dai abin da Allah ya faɗa masa. Duk da haka dukanmu muna fitowa daga rai ɗaya, da yanayi ɗaya da halaye iri ɗaya waɗanda suke bambanta mu da sauran halitta. Bugu da ƙari, kowane ɗan adam yana tarayya da waɗannan halaye, domin ran ɗan adam ɗaya ne a cikin miliyoyin mutane marasa adadi a dukan zamani da dukan al'ummomi. Bugu da ƙari, abokin zamansa ko matarsa ma an halicce ta daga asali ɗaya. Don haka, duk da dukan bambance-bambancen cikakkun bayanai tsakanin maza da mata, suna tarayya da dukan waɗannan halaye. Wannan kuma yana tabbatar da haɗin kan tsarin asali na mutane, na miji da mace, da haɗin kan nufin da ya halicci wannan rai guda ɗaya da bayyanuwarsa biyu.

Let man look at his own self. He has not created himself, nor does he know who created the human entity except for what God has told him. Yet we all originate from one soul, with one nature and the same characteristics that distinguish us from the rest of creation. Moreover, every human individual shares in these characteristics, because the human soul is one in the countless millions of humans across all generations and all communities. Moreover, its mate or spouse is also made from the same essence. Thus, despite all differences of detail between men and women, they share all these characteristics. This again confirms the unity of the original design for mankind, male and female, and the unity of the Will that created this single soul with its two manifestations.
