Commentary 14:1 Kitâb كِتَابٌ “book” or “written document”. Without the suffix alال it can also indicate a decree, ordinance, prescription, or command (Tâj, Lisân, Lane;…
الر ۚ كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ
14:1 Kitâb كِتَابٌ “book” or “written document”. Without the suffix alال it can also indicate a decree, ordinance, prescription, or command (Tâj, Lisân, Lane; cf. 2:183; 15:4; 52:2-3). Here, the word kitâb is written in the indefinite form without the article al as in 2:2. Therefore, the more appropriate translation here would be “decree”, “ordinance”, or “command”. The Divine Commands brought by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) are for all humankind (cf. 7:158; 18:1; 21:10; 34:28).
