Gathering It Is on Us

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٧

Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Upon Us is its collection and its recitation.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, gathering the Qur’an completely, fixing it and having it recited is a task Allah has undertaken; He who sent it down will have it recited.

Reflect

Ask Allah for help in memorising the Qur’an.
