Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

81.19 Certainly His Word is a Holy message




إِنَّ = “inna”

“inna” definition:

One of the particles which annul the quality of the inchoative: it is a corroborative particle, corroborating the predicate; governing the subject in the accusative case and the predicate in the nominative case; and may generally be rendered by verily, or certainly, or the like; exactly agreeing with the Greek “hoti”, as used in Luke 7.16 and in many other passages in the New Testament; though it often seems to be nothing more than a sign of inception, which can hardly be rendered at all in English; unless in pronunciation, by laying stress upon the predicate, or upon the copula. It must be used when it occurs inceptively, having nothing before it upon which is syntactically dependent, with respect to the wording or meaning.

Summary of 81.19:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• Revelation tells us that the “logos”, or Word, of God, is Jesus
• 81.19 begins by informing us of something that is “inna”, or certain
• This thing that is certain is applied to “qawlu”, or Word, via the personal pronoun “hu”, or His, and possessive affirmative particle “la” – thus giving the Word as an inherent attribute of Him
• “laqawlu” occurs three times in the Koran, and in each occurrence it is beyond any reasonable doubt that it directly refers to Jesus
• 81.19 also informs us that His Word is a “kareemin”, or holy, “rasoolin”, or message
• Sura 81 acknowledges Jesus as the Word of God
