Commentary:
The expression, Read thy book, used figuratively means, "take thy punishment". The words, Sufficient is thy own soul this day as reckoner against thee, clearly show that punishment is not something that comes from outside but it takes its birth within man himself. In fact, the punishments and rewards of Heaven and Hell will only be so many embodiments and representations of the deeds, good or bad, of man. Thus in this life man is the architect of his own destiny and in the next he will be his own rewarder or punisher.

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ
اِقْرَاء (Iqra’) 这个字的意思是阅读; 诵吟; 传布; 公开赞美或收集, 所以这节经文的含意是: «古兰经» 旨在加以诵读、宣告、收集和汇集, 然后向全世界传播。提到安拉的常德 رَبّ (Rabb), 是说明人的道德是逐步发展的, 一直到穆圣才臻于尽善尽美的境界。Rabb 意思是哺育者, 支持者, 发展者, 支持人类经历各阶段发展者。这节经文的含义是: 爱戴安拉, 在人的天性中是根深蒂固的; 很自然, 应该有一个这种本能欲望可以在自身得到完全显示的人。
مفسرین اور مسیحیوں نے اس جگہ ایک غلطی کی ہے اور لکھا ہے کہ فرشتہ نے غارِ حرا میں ریشم پر لکھی ہوئی ایک تحریر دکھا کر کہا تھا کہ ’’پڑھو‘‘ مگر اصل بات یہ ہے کہ اِقْرَأْ کے معنے عربی زبان میں صرف پڑھنے کے نہیں بلکہ دوسرے کی بات دہرانے کے بھی ہیں۔ پس اس سورت میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ جب فرشتہ پہلی دفعہ خدا کی وحی لایا تو اس نے آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے کہا کہ جو کچھ میں کہتا جاؤں اسے دہراتے جاؤ۔ اس معنے سے غفلت کی وجہ سے ایک بیہودہ قصّہ بن گیا۔
The word Iqra’ meaning read, recite, convey, proclaim or collect, the verse signifies that the Qur’an was meant to be read and proclaimed, to be collected and put together and then conveyed to the whole world. The mention of the Divine attribute Rabb, (Nourisher, Sustainer and Developer, Who sustains man through all the stages of his development), shows that man’s moral development was to be gradual till it was to find full consummation in the Holy Prophet.
23:15; 40:68; 75:39.
Important Words:
اقرأ (proclaim) is derived from قرء which means, he collected together the thing; put it together part to part. قرأت القرآنmeans, I recited or read the Quran uninterruptedly or recited it chanting (syn. أنشد). قرء علیه القرآن means, he read or recited to him the Quran. قرأعلیهالسلام means, he conveyed or delivered to him the salutation. Thus اقرأ means, read, recite, convey, proclaim or collect (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The very first word of the verse shows that the Quran was meant to be read and proclaimed, to be collected and put together and conveyed to the whole world. Moreover, the verse embodies a prophecy that the Quran will be written and repeatedly read and recited. It is an undeniable fact of history that as soon as a portion of the Quran was revealed it was committed to writing and that among all religious Scriptures the Quran is the most widely read. The mention in the verse of the Divine attribute رب (the Lord) Who cherishes and sustains man through all the different stages of his development signifies that the spiritual development of man was to be gradual and in stages till it was to find its full consummation in the Holy Prophet.

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ
越是诵读 «古兰经», 越是向世界宣告 «古兰经», 安拉的神圣性和人的尊严就越被认识和赏鉴。
یعنی جتنا تو قرآن پڑھ کر لوگوں کو سنائے گا‘ اتنا ہی تیرے رب کا شرف اور انسان کا شرف ظاہر ہوگا۔
The more the Qur’an is read and proclaimed to the world, the more the holiness of God and the dignity of man are recognised and appreciated.
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that the more the Quran is read and proclaimed to the world, the more the Holiness of God and the dignity of man will be recognised and appreciated. The verse may also imply a prophecy that through the reading, preaching and proclaiming of the Quran a place of great honour will accrue to the Holy Prophet and his followers.
