Surah Ghafir — 40:2

تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

Tanzeelul Kitaabi minal laahil Azeezil 'Aleem

Kitap'ın indirilmesi, güçlü ve bilgin olan Allah katındandır.

The sending down of this Book is from God, the Mighty, the All-Knowing,

Reflection

Four surahs open with this same clause about the Book's sending down: 39:1, 45:2, 46:2 and this one. The other three all close on the Mighty, the Wise, while here the second name is the All-Knowing, and the sentence keeps running through forgiveness of sin, acceptance of repentance and severity in punishment before it stops. The Book is introduced by way of a description of its sender.
