So Remind

فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرࣱ ۝٢١

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

So remind; you are only a reminder.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, if they still do not look and reflect, remind them and advise them; but be content with that and do not force them further.

Reflect

Today, gently remind someone, then leave the rest to them.
