Personal Scrolls
بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيࣲٕ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفࣰا مُّنَشَّرَةࣰ ٥٢
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Rather, each of them wants to be given scrolls spread open.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, none of them is content with a general reminder; each wants a personal invitation, as if invited to a banquet.
Reflect
Read the Qur’an knowing it speaks to you too.
