Surah Yunus Tafseer

The Qur'an is an Admonition, Cure, Mercy and Guidance

Allah confers a great favor on His creatures in what He has sent down of the Gracious Qur'an to His Noble Messenger. He said:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ

O mankind! There has come to you good advice from your Lord.

A warning and a shield from shameful deeds.

وَشِفَاء لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

and a cure for that which is in your breasts,

A cure from suspicion and doubts. The Qur'an removes all the filth and Shirk from the hearts.

وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ

a guidance and a mercy,

The guidance and the mercy from Allah are attained through it.

لِّلْمُوْمِنِينَ

for the believers.

This is only for those who believe in it and have firm faith in what it contains. As Allah said:

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَأءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُوْمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّـلِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَارًا

And We send down of the Qur'an that which is a cure and a mercy to those who believe, and it increases the wrongdoers nothing but loss. (17:82)

and;

قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدًى وَشِفَأءٌ

Say:"It is for those who believe, a guide and a cure." (41:44)

Allah then said
