A Reminder
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةࣱ ١١
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No! Indeed, it is a reminder.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this “No!” means “do not do so”: do not neglect the eager seeker and turn to the self-sufficient. The Qur’an is a reminder for all.
Reflect
Remember that the Qur’an addresses everyone equally.
