Surah Taha — Ayah 114 (20:114)

English translation (Saheeh International)

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign,¹ the Truth.² And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

1. And owner of everything in existence.
2. Or "the True Reality," i.e., the real and permanent existence upon which all other existence depends.

Brief commentary

Allah is High above and Exalted from what the idolaters describe Him with of deficiencies and from what they attribute as partners to Him. He is the Majestic King, to whom belongs the kingdom of everything, and who is the Truth and speaks the truth. Do not hasten, O Messenger, in reciting the Qur’ān with Gabriel before it is completely conveyed to you, and say: O Lord, increase me in knowledge, on top of what You have already taught me.
