The Soul Is Beyond Human Knowledge


Surah Al-Isra (85–89)

🔹 Introduction

Surah Al-Isra verses 85 to 89 address some of the deepest questions of human existence: the reality of the soul, the limitation of human knowledge, the divine origin of the Qur’an, and humanity’s response to guidance. These verses clearly distinguish between human curiosity and divine wisdom, reminding mankind that true knowledge belongs only to Allah.

🔍 Explanation (Verse-wise)

Verse 85 – Knowledge of the Soul

Allah responds to questions about the soul by declaring that it belongs to His command alone. Humans are given only a small portion of knowledge, teaching humility and submission.

Key lesson: Not everything can be grasped by science or intellect.

Verse 86 – Power Over Revelation

Allah reminds that the Qur’an itself is a divine gift, and He has full power to withdraw revelation if He wills.

Key lesson: Revelation is mercy, not entitlement.

Verse 87 – Mercy of Allah

The Qur’an remains only due to Allah’s great mercy upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and humanity.

Key lesson: Guidance is a sign of Allah’s favor.

Verse 88 – Challenge to Humanity and Jinn

Allah issues an open challenge: even if all humans and jinn unite, they cannot produce anything like the Qur’an.

Key lesson: The Qur’an is an eternal miracle.

Verse 89 – Repeated Examples, Continued Rejection

Despite clear examples and repeated explanations, most people persist in disbelief.

Key lesson: Rejection is often due to arrogance, not lack of evidence.

📝 Description

These verses collectively emphasize that while humans constantly seek answers, divine knowledge surpasses all limits. The Qur’an addresses intellect, heart, and soul together. It is not merely a book of information but a source of guidance, mercy, and truth. Those who reflect benefit from it; those who reject do so by choice.

📌 Summary

The soul is known only to Allah

Human knowledge is limited

The Qur’an is divine mercy

No creation can imitate the Qur’an

Clear guidance does not benefit those who choose denial

True wisdom lies in humility before Allah.
