LessonsSupplementary Practice 28 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat al-Aʿlā and Sūrat al-GhāshiyahQuiz

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۞ وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Who created and proportioned, and who determined and guided. (87:2–3)

Alladhī characterizes the previously named Lord. In “created then proportioned” and “determined then guided,” fāʾ conveys an ordered connection; it should not be treated as interchangeable with wāw.

The repeated relative construction introduces a further divine description. The four verbs form an integrated sequence—creation, fashioning, determination, guidance—giving distinct but related aspects of the same lordship rather than unrelated facts.
