English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
He is the Gracious God Who has settled Himself on the Throne.
English - Five Volume Translation
He is the Gracious God Who has settled Himself firmly on the Throne.
Important Words:
For a detailed explanation of عرش (Throne) see 7:55 and 10:4. Briefly, the word represents the transcendent attributes of God, i.e. the attributes which are technically known as صفات تنزیھیة. These attributes which are eternal and unchangeable and are God’s exclusive possession are manifested through God’s other attributes which are known as صفات تشبیھیة i.e. such attributes as are found more or less in other beings also. The former attributes i.e. transcendent attributes, are said to constitute God’s Throne and the latter attributes i.e. صفات تشبیھیةare the bearers of His Throne.
Commentary:
The verse continues the theme of the previous and the succeeding verses—the theme of the Almightiness and Majesty of God.
As this chapter, like its predecessor, Surah Maryam, primarily contains a repudiation of Christian dogmas and doctrines, the Divine attribute الرحمن (the Gracious) has been repeatedly mentioned in both of them because this attribute demolishes the basic Christian doctrine of Atonement. It further points to the fact that the revelation of the Quran, in fact of all Divine Scriptures, is subject to this attribute. This subject has also been dealt with in some detail in vv. 55:2-3.
