Question: What is the ruling on reflecting upon the Holy Quran?

Meaning: A contradiction as in the speech of humans, or a variation in its level of eloquence, but the Holy Quran is impeccable which proves that it is the word of Allah.

He should study their writings until he comes to know that indeed the Holy Quran is free of contradictions. Ibn Juzay: 1/200.

How good it is that these verses follow the verse on Jihad, indicating that whoever offers peace, then we must stop fighting him, even in war. One of the implications of these two verses is that the structure of this Surah is based on encouraging kindness, compassion and communication, the greatest of which is gentle speech, because it reflects what is in the heart and manifests in intercession and greeting. Al-Biqai: 2/292.
Question: The verses on intercession and greeting follow the verses on Jihad. Why?

This is guidance to a type of noble morals and best of deeds. It means that if Allah bestows a favor upon you, then you should offer the best of it in His cause, give some of it to charity, and return some of it back to Allah through the needy. Indeed, Allah is the best of those who grant success. Al-Alusi: 5/104.
