Surah al-Qamar (The Moon ) 54 : 16

Explanatory Note

This great event, with its well-known circumstances and results, is left as a sign and a reminder for future generations. Will any take heed? Then another gesture is added to awaken people's hearts telling them that the warnings given to them are all correct and the punishment that might be inflicted is severe indeed: "How grievous was My punishment and how true were My warnings."

It all took place as the Qur'an describes. The Qur'an remains present, available to all, easy to understand, attractive by its sincerity and straightforwardness, consistent with nature, full of wonders and always retaining its power. Never is it weakened by familiarity. But rather whenever it is contemplated, it gives more of its treasures. The more it is read, the better we are comforted by it.
