So Remind
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٩
Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So remind, if the reminder benefits.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, a reminder benefits more or less, even if not everyone; so teach and remind people of the Qur’an’s teachings.
Reflect
Gently remind someone of something useful today.
