20:1 Tâhâ طه is not a combination of two letters of Arabic alphabets but a meaningful expression of its own signifying “O man! be at rest” (Jarîr; Râzî; Kathîr). Tâhâ is one of the names of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) (Bahr al-Muhît). Ibn ‘Abbâs said upon the explanation of Allâh’s saying: TâHâطه, “We have not revealed unto you (Muhammad) this Qur’ân that you should be distressed. We have not revealed the Qur’ân to you that you should toil”. This verse was revealed when the Prophet (pbuh) used to stand in prayer at night vigil until his feet swelled up, and so Allâh alleviated this for him through this verse. He said, TâHâ, which in the dialect of Makkah means ‘O perfect man’.The title is particularly appropriate in three ways:

1) It is a word of comfort to the Holy Prophet (pbuh).

2) It is a direct and personal address to a perfect human being, a personal appeal to face the realities of life.

3) It takes up the narration from the last chapter, describing the human being as a spiritual being.
