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.…
Behold, the apostles came
To them, from before them
And behind them, (preaching):
"Serve none but God."
They said, "If our Lord
Had so pleased, He would
Certainly have sent down angels
(To preach): now we reject
Your mission (altogether)."
And among His Signs
In this: thou seest
The earth barren and desolate;
But when We send down
Rain to it, it is stirred
To life and yields increase.
Truly, He Who gives life
To the (dead) earth
Can surely give life
To (men) who are dead.
For He has power
Over all things.
Now then, for that (reason),
Call (them to the Faith),
And stand steadfast
As thou art commanded,
Nor follow thou their vain
Desires; but say: "I believe
In the Book which
God has sent down;
And I am commanded
To judge justly between you.
God is our Lord
And your Lord. For us
(Is the responsibility for)
Our deeds, and for you
For your deeds. There is
No contention between us
And you. God will
Bring us together,
And to Him is
(Our) final goal.
It is God Who has
Sent down the Book in truth,
And the Balance
(By which to weigh conduct).
And what will make thee
Realise that perhaps the Hour
Is close at hand?
And in the alternation
Of Night and Day,
And the fact that God
Sends down Sustenance from
The sky, and revives therewith
The earth after its death,
And in the change
Of the winds,—are Signs
For those that are wise.
They said, "O our people!
We have heard a Book
Revealed after Moses,
Confirming what came
Before it: it guides (men)
To the Truth and
To a Straight Path.
Those who believe say,
"Why is not a Sūra
Sent down (for us)?"
But when a Sūra
Of basic or categorical
Meaning is revealed,
And fighting is mentioned
Therein, thou wilt see those
In whose hearts is a disease
Looking at thee with a look
Of one in swoon at
The approach of death.
But more fitting for them—
It is He Who sent
Down Tranquillity
Into the hearts of
The Believers, that they may
Add Faith to their Faith;—
For to God belong
The Forces of the heavens
And the earth; and God is
Full of Knowledge and Wisdom;—
God's Good Pleasure
Was on the Believers
When they swore Fealty
To thee under the Tree:
He knew what was
In their hearts, and He
Sent down Tranquillity
To them; and He rewarded
Them with a speedy Victory;
While the Unbelievers
Got up in their hearts
Heat and cant—the heat
And cant of Ignorance,—
God sent down His Tranquillity
To his Apostle and to
The Believers, and made them
Stick close to the command
Of self-restraint; and well
Were they entitled to it
And worthy of it.
And God has full knowledge
Of all things.
These are nothing but names
Which ye have devised,—
Ye and your fathers,
For which God has sent
Down no authority (whatever).
They follow nothing but
Conjecture and what
Their own souls desire!—
Even though there has already
Come to them Guidance
From their Lord!
We sent aforetime
Our apostles with Clear Signs
And sent down with them
The Book and the Balance
(Of Right and Wrong), that men
May stand forth in justice;
And We sent down Iron
In which is (material for)
Mighty war, as well as
Many benefits for mankind,
That God may test who
It is that will help,
Unseen, Him and His apostles:
For God is Full of Strength,
Exalted in Might
(And able to enforce His Will).
Those who resist God
And His Apostle will be
Humbled to dust, as were
Those before them: for We
Have already sent down
Clear Signs. And the Unbelievers
(Will have) a humiliating Penalty,—
Had We sent down
This Qur-ān on a mountain,
Verily, thou wouldst have seen
It humble itself and cleave
Asunder for fear of God.
Such are the similitudes
Which We propound to men,
That they may reflect.
God has prepared for them
A severe Punishment
(In the Hereafter).
Therefore fear God,
O ye men of understanding—
Who have believed!
For God hath indeed
Sent down to you
A Message,—
