A Reminder to the Worlds
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٢
When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And it is not but a reminder to the worlds.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the Qur’an is not only for them but a reminder for all beings with awareness and understanding; only those of unclear mind fail to benefit from it.
Reflect
Act today on one counsel the Qur’an gives you.
