Transliteration:( Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem )
14. It means the Holy QURAN was not revealed in the written form like the Injeel and Tauraat, but in a recitation form i.e. Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) came and recited For this reason it is called the QURAN, i.e. a recited book. It should be remembered that the Holy QURAN was first recited by Jibraeel (On whom be peace) and the Holy Prophet . ? to the Holy Prophet was the very first to act upon it. This QURAN is the work of Allah Almighty, recited by Hazrat Jibraeel and acted upon by the Holy Prophet and the believers. It should be remembered that Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) is the Messenger of Allah Almighty, so too is the Holy Prophet but there are many differences in them:
1. Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) is the messenger for the Prophets only, while the Holy Prophet ? is for the entire creation.
2. The Messengership of Jibraeel came to an end after the demise of the Holy Prophet, while it is that of the Holy Prophet for eternity.
3. The Holy Prophet is a Messenger with full authority while Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) is without any authority like the postman and the envoy. Therefore Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) is from the followers of the Holy Prophet .and not opposite to this.
The tafsir of Surah Takwir verse 19 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Takwir ayat 15 which provides the complete commentary from verse 15 through 29.
(81:19) Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer;[14]
14. A noble messenger: the Angel who brought down revelation, as becomes explicit from the following verses. The word of a noble messenger does not mean that the Quran is the word of the Angel himself, but, as the context shows, of Him Who appointed him a messenger. In (Surah Al-Haaqqah, Ayat 40), likewise, the Quran has been called the word of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and there too it does not mean that it is the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) own composition, but describing it as the word of an honorable messenger, it has been made clear that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is presenting it in his capacity as the Messenger of God and not as Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace be upon him). At both places, the word has been attributed to the Angel and to Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the ground that the message of Allah was being delivered to Muhammad (peace be upon him) by the Angel and to the people by Muhammad (peace be upon him). For further explanation, see (Surah Al-Haaqqah, ayat 39).
