1. Al-Fussilat : 21- أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ⁠

وَقَالُوا لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمْ عَلَيْنَا ۖ قَالُوٓا أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ٢١

They will ask their skin ˹furiously˺, “Why have you testified against us?” It will say, “We have been made to speak by Allah, Who causes all things to speak. He ˹is the One Who˺ created you the first time, and to Him you were bound to return.

The Word- أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ( ⁠Meaning- Allah (SWT) made us to speak) occurs once in the Qur’an

Contemplation : On the Day of Judgement, the Sinners' Limbs will testify against them It is stated in the Quran that on the Day of Judgement a man’s skin, ears, eyes and limbs will testify to his deeds. Hadith: ⁃ Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I was hiding beneath the covering of the Ka`bah, and three men came along -- a man from the Quraysh and two of his brothers-in-law from Thaqif, or a man from Thaqif and two of his brothers-in-law from the Quraysh. Their bellies were very fat, and did not have much understanding. They said some words I could not hear, then one of them said, `Do you think that Allah can hear what we are saying now' The other said, `If we raise our voices, He will hear it, but if we do not raise our voices, He will not hear it.' The other said, `If He can hear one thing from us, He can hear everything.' I mentioned this to the Prophet , then Allah revealed the words: وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلاَ أَبْصَـرُكُمْ وَلاَ جُلُودُكُمْ (And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you) until; مِّنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ (of those utterly lost!) - At-Tirmidhi.

2. Surah Al-Fussilat :44-ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّۭ

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا أَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوا ……… ۖ ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّ وَعَرَبِىٌّ ۗ ………… ۚ أُولَـٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍۢ

Had We revealed it as a non-Arabic Quran, they would have certainly argued,………………What! A non-Arabic revelation for an Arab audience!”……….. It is as if they are being called from a faraway place.”

The Word : ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّۭ (Meaning: (is it) a foreign (language) once in the Qur’an
