The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
The questioner says: I hope you will explain the verse and stop with it, in the saying of the Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98]. [Al-Fatihah 1:1] [Al-Anbya 21:10]
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. In this noble verse, Allah the Exalted swears that He has sent down to us a Book, which is the Noble Qur'an, in which is your remembrance, meaning in which is your honor. So "remembrance" here means honor. The Noble Qur'an is an honor for this Ummah (Muslim community) because of the good things Allah has deposited in it, because it is the miraculous Book, and because it is the comprehensive Book for the interests of the servants, and the general Book for humanity. Just as the message of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is general for humanity, and the previous Books were each specific to a nation, because the messages of the previous prophets were specific to their nations, not general for humanity. But the message of this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is general for humanity.[Fatir 35:24] [Al-A'raf 7:158] [Saba 34:28] The message of this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is general for the two heavy ones, the jinn and mankind. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 335 And the Blessed and Exalted is He said: [Al-An'am 6:19] So whoever the Qur'an reaches and he understands its meaning, the argument is established against him, and he has no argument with Allah if he does not follow this Qur'an. Yes.

بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِIn the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِWe have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَThe Shaykh:

Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًاSay, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًاAnd We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind as a bringer of good tidings and a warner
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًاEvery Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.
