18فَإِذا قَرَأناهُ فَاتَّبِع قُرآنَهُMuhammad AsadThus, when We recite it, follow thou its wording [with all thy mind]:1Lit., "follow thou its recitation", i.e., its message as expressed in words. Since it is God who reveals the Qur'an and bestows upon man the ability to understand it, He attributes its "recitation" to Himself.
