ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَاۜ ١

[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
The Revelation of the Qur'an brings both Good News and a Warning Allah praises His Holy Self;الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُ عِوَجَاAll praise is due to Allah, Who has sent down to His servant the Book, and has not placed therein any crookedness. In the beginning of this Tafsir, we mentioned that Allah, praises His Holy Self at the beginning and end of matters, for He is the One to be praised in all circumstances, all praise and thanks be to Him, in the beginning and in the end. He praises Himself for revealing His Mighty Book to His Noble Messenger Muhammad, which is the greatest blessing that Allah has granted the people of this earth. Through the Qur'an, He brings them out of the darkness into light. He has made it a Book that is straight, neither distorted nor confusion therein. It clearly guides to a straight path, plain and manifest, giving a warning to the disbelievers and good news to the believers. This is why Allah says:وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُ عِوَجَاand has not placed therein any crookedness.meaning, there is nothing twisted or confusing about it. But He has made it balanced and straightforward as He said
