confess themselves defeated in trying to penetrate to the ultimate mysteries. We shall find no defect in Allah's
handiwork: it is our own powers that we shall find fail to go beyond a certain compass. (67.4)
67:26 - Say: "As to the knowledge of the time it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly
in public." 5586
5586 The Judgment is certain to come. But when it will exactly come, is known to Allah alone. The Prophet's duty is to
proclaim that fact openly and clearly. It is not for him to punish or to hasten the punishment of evil. Cf. xxii. 47-49.
(67.26)
70:4 - The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty
thousand years: 56775678
5677 Ruh: "The Spirit". Cf. lxxviii. 38, "the Spirit and the angels"; and xcvii. 4, "the angels and the Spirit". In xvi. 2, we have
translated Ruh by "inspiration". Some Commentators understand the angel Gabriel by "the Spirit". But I think a more
general meaning is possible, and fits the context better. (70.4)
5678 Cf. xxxii. 4-5, and notes 3632 and 3634 (70.4)
76:1 - Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was nothing--(not even)
mentioned? 58305831
5830 The undoubted fact is mentioned in the form of a question, to get the assent of man. It is certain that the physical
world existed long before man was ever heard of or mentioned, as geological records prove. It is also true that the
world existed long before man came on the scene: see ii. 30-31. Man is here taken in a generic sense. (76.1)
5831 Dahr is Time as a whole, or for a long period. (76.1)
103:1 - By (the Token of) time (through the Ages) 6262
6262 Al-Asr may mean: (1) Time through the Ages, or long periods, in which case it comes near to the abstract idea of
Time, Dahr; (2) or the late afternoon, from which the Asr canonical prayer takes its name (see n. 271 to ii: 238). An
appeal is made to Time as one of the creations of Allah, of which everyone knows something but of which no one can
fully explain the exact significance. Time searches out and destroys everything material. No one in secular literature
has expressed the tyranny of "never-resting Time" better than Shakespeare in his Sonnets. For example, see Sonnets
5 ("never-resting Time"), 12 ("Nothing gainst Time's scythe can make defence"), and 64 ("When I have seen by Time's
fell hand defaced The rich proud cost of outworn buried age"). If we merely run a race against Time, we shall lose. It is
the spiritual part of us that conquers Time. See verse 3 below. For the "afternoon" idea see next note. (103.1)
