Its root in the classical dictionaries
النزول في الأصل هو انحطاط من علو.
النون والزاء واللام كلمة صحيحة تدل على هبوط شيء ووقوعه. ونزل عن دابتهنزولا. ونزل المطر من السماء نزولا. والنازلة: الشديدة من شدائد الدهر تنزل. والنزال في الحرب: أن يتنازل الفريقان. ونزال: كلمة توضع موضع انزل. ومكان نزل: ينزل فيه كثيرا. ووجدت القوم على نزلاتهم، أي منازلهم. قاله ابن الأعرابي. والنزل: ما يهيأ للنزيل.…
And let nothing keep thee
Back from the Signs of God
After they have been revealed
To thee: and invite (men)
To thy Lord, and be not
Of the company of those
Who join gods with God.
And dispute ye not
With the People of the Book,
Except with means better
(Than mere disputation), unless
It be with those of them
Who inflict wrong (and injury):
But say, "We believe
In the Revelation which has
Come down to us and in that
Which came down to you;
Our God and your God
Is One; and it is to Him
We bow (in Islam)."
And thus (it is) that We
Have sent down the Book
To thee. So the People
Of the Book believe therein,
As also do some of these
(Pagan Arabs): and none
But Unbelievers reject Our Signs.
And is it not enough
For them that We have
Sent down to thee
The Book which is rehearsed
To them? Verily, in it
Is Mercy and a Reminder
To those who believe.
He created the heavens
Without any pillars that ye
Can see; He set
On the earth mountains
Standing firm, lest it
Should shake with you;
And He scattered through it
Beasts of all kinds.
We send down rain
From the sky, and produce
On the earth every kind.
Of noble creature, in pairs.
When they are told to follow
The (Revelation) that God
Has sent down, they say:
"Nay, we shall follow
The ways that we found
Our fathers (following)."
What! even if it is
Satan beckoning them
To the Penalty
Of the (Blazing) Fire?
And those of the people
Of the Book who aided
Them—God did take them
Down from their strongholds
And cast terror into
Their hearts, (so that)
Some ye slew, and some
Ye made prisoners,
And those to whom
Knowledge has come see
That the (Revelation) sent down
To thee from thy Lord—
That is the Truth,
And that it guides
To the Path of the Exalted
(In Might), Worthy
Of all praise.
Seest thou not that
God sends down rain
From the sky? With it
We then bring out produce
Of various colours
And in the mountains
Are tracts white and red,
Of various shades of colour,
And black intense in hue.
"What! Has the Message
Been sent to him—
(Of all persons) among us?"…
But they are in doubt
Concerning My (own) Message!
Nay, they have not yet
Tasted My Punishment!
(Here is) a Book which
We have sent down
Unto thee, full of blessings,
That they may meditate
On its Signs, and that
Men of understanding may
Receive admonition.
He created you (all)
From a single Person:
Then created, of like nature,
His mate; and He
Sent down for you eight head
Of cattle in pairs:
He makes you,
In the wombs
Of your mothers,
In stages, one after another,
In three veils of darkness.
Such is God, your Lord
And Cherisher: to Him belongs
(All) dominion. There is
No god but He: then
How are ye turned away
(From your true Centre)?
Seest thou not that God
Sends down rain from
The sky, and leads it
Through springs in the earth.?
Then He causes to grow,
Therewith, produce of various
Colours: then it withers;
Thou wilt see it grow yellow;
Then He makes it
Dry up and crumble away.
Truly, in this, is
A Message of remembrance to
Men of understanding.
Verily We have revealed
The Book to thee
In Truth, for (instructing)
mankind.
He, then, that receives guidance
Benefits his own soul:
But he that strays
Injures his own soul.
Nor art thou set
Over them to dispose
Of their affairs.
