1 From the truth or the straight path.
Al-Kahf (the Cave) Meccan, except for verses 28, and from [verses] 82 to the end of 101, which are Medinese; it consists of 110 or 115 verses, revealed after soorat al-Ghaashiya. Praise - which is the attribution [to a person] of that which is beautiful - is established [as something that], belongs to God [alone], exalted be He. Now, is the intention here to point this out for the purpose of believing in it, or to praise [God] thereby, or both? All are possibilities, the most profitable of which is [to understand] the third [as being the intention behind this statement]; Who has revealed to His servant, Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, the Book, Al-Qur'an, and has not allowed for it, that is, [He has not allowed that there be] in it, any crookedness, [any] variance or contradiction (the [last] sentence [wa-lam yaj'al lahu 'iwajan] is a circumstantial qualifier referring to al-kitaab, 'the Book');
