Quran - Discussed in English - Verses 6:151 until 6:165

[@Someone-ct2ck]

I think "your lord is swift in punishment" does not mean God will punish people as soon as they do bad. I think it means when God wants to pusnish, he is swift in doing so. Nothing can stop God. In the same surah God says: "When they became oblivious to warnings, We showered them with everything they desired. But just as they became prideful of what they were given, We seized them by surprise, then they instantly fell into despair!" Quran 6:44 it sayig Bagtah which is means sudden. God in my opinion is so forbearing but is so swift when and firm when enough is enough. That is just perfection. "Such is the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is ˹terribly˺ painful and severe." Quran 11:102

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful perspective. I agree.

"He has no partner. So I am commanded, and so I am the first to submit." I believe it meant, like the prophet saying that I will be the first to submit and follow the Lord's command. Like God had commanded us to do this and that, and I will be the first to follow these commands. That's what I believe it meant, if that makes sense to you. I'm not a scholar, so I'm not sure, but God knows best.

Good point. Since the Quran was a new command, the prophet was the first to submit to this new command. Rather than thinking of him submitting in general. Thanks for sharing!

I think it is a just a way of saying, I will follow it quickly. People say I will be the last person to do this or that. They don't mean like the last one in the list. They just mean they are reluctant to do it/

@@Someone-ct2ck Yeah I thought this might be as well. It's an expression of intent to do it immediately.
