52:1 CONSIDER Mount Sinai !1
Note 1
For my rendering of the adjurative particle wa as "Consider", see first half of note 23 on 74:32. The expression at-tur (lit., "the mountain") is used in the Qur'an exclusively to denote Mount Sinai , on which Moses received his decisive revelation. In the present context it signifies, metonymically, revelation as such, to which the next verse calls attention.

This is the 52nd Surah of the Qur’an and it has 49 verses. God watched very closely the person, the character, the actions and the Mission of the exalted Messenger. This Surah is a great example of Tasreef, how beautifully the Qur’an displays its Uniform message, repeating its verses from different vantage points and in diverse facets, filling our sight and mind with décor rather than a colorless monotony.
With the Glorious Name of God, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness
That this Qur’an is a Divine Writ as was the scripture of law bestowed upon Moses

As explained by Razi in his comments on the above verse as well as on 18:31 and 55:54, the "reclining on couches" or "on carpets" in paradise is a symbol of inner fulfillment and peace of mind; and he points out that this is also alluded to in the identity of the verbal root sarra ("he was [or "became"] happy") in both the nouns surur ("happiness") and sarir ("couch").

Note 7
As explained by Razi in his comments on the above verse as well as on 18:31 and 55:54, the "reclining on couches" or "on carpets" in paradise is a symbol of inner fulfillment and peace of mind; and he points out that this is also alluded to in the identity of the verbal root sarra ("he was [or "became"] happy") in both the nouns surur ("happiness") and sarir ("couch").
