Is It Not Enough?
أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِهِمۡ أَنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَرَحۡمَةࣰ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِقَوۡمࣲ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥١
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, for those demanding another miracle, the Qur’an itself, revealed to an unlettered prophet, is miracle enough.
Reflect
Feel today that the Qur’an is enough for you.
