Linguistic Miracle - Quran Gems - Surah Al Layl (92) - Pronunciation

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Guidance is by Allah SubhanawaTaala the Most High!
And inspiration is by Bro Nouman Ali Khan!

The Quran is unique and unparalleled in it's literary style and content.

I was just reading Surah Al-Layl (The Night).

Something struck me when I was reciting verses 92:7 and 92:10

92:7 Fasanu-Yassiruhu-Lil-Yusraa (And we will ease him toward ease)
92:10 Fasanu-Yassiruhu-Lil-Usraa (And we will ease him toward difficulty)

If you recite these ayah, you will realise that when we recite lil yusraa, it is very easy on the tongue. There is no stress on the mouth or throat during recital.

But when you recite Lil -Usraa, it is an Ain in Arabic. There is extra stress on the throat while reciting the Usraa part.

Allah in these ayah is telling us on the state of man and how Allah puts him towards ease or difficulty depending on the path the person choses.

And SubhanAllah, all Praise is for Allah, on how beautifully the ease and difficulty in pronunciation also coincides with what Allah is saying in these words.

These are my thoughts alone and I have not read it from any scholar or any book.

Any evil from this is from my own self and anything good that I have said is from Allah.

May Allah guide us all. Ameen.

Inspired by the powerful Quranic verse:

اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُوۡنَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ‌ؕ وَلَوۡ كَانَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ غَيۡرِ اللّٰهِ لَوَجَدُوۡا فِيۡهِ

اخۡتِلَافًا كَثِيۡرًا
Surah 4:82
 Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.
