Sura 54
Aya 17
17
وَلَقَد يَسَّرنَا القُرآنَ لِلذِّكرِ فَهَل مِن مُدَّكِرٍ

Ali Unal

And, indeed, (by revealing it through human language) We have made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance (of God, and taking heed). Then is there any that remembers and takes heed?1
  • That is, God revealed the Qur’ān through human language so that people could understand it. Although the Qur’ān has unfathomable depths of meaning, it has such styles that it satisfies everyone, from the most ordinary to the most advanced in sciences. What is necessary for everybody is to recognize the essentials of faith and a good life, so even the most ordinary people can derive from the Qur’ān what they must believe in and what they must do in order to gain eternal happiness, and can take from it the necessary lessons. However, this in no way means that everybody can understand all of the Qur’ān perfectly only by reading it or by studying a translation of it.
