Commentary

‘Ansha-‘a – (He brought you forth), it is past tense, origin of which is nasha-‘un, it means “to grow, to germinate, to rise, to set in”. ‘In-shaa-‘un means “to cause to grow, to raise, to bring into being”.

‘Ista’-mara – (settled, made a place habitable and populous, colonized), it is also past tense from the word ‘isti’-maara. Origin of this word is ‘amrun, which means “to inhabit, to dwell, to be peopled. ‘Ista’maara has been derived from the same word. ‘Ista’-mara means “made you dwell in the villages and taught you “how to live altogether, co-operating with one another”.

From the people of Thamud, Allah Almighty appointed Salih (peace be upon him) as His Prophet. He (peace be upon him) said to the people of his tribe: there should be no Worshipped (God) of you save Allah Almighty. He is, Who brought you forth from the particles of the earth. Then you should ask forgiveness of Him and turn unto Him in all matters. He is Lord of mine and yours, is the Nearest, hears of every individual and Replies properly.
