Allah points out the noble status of the Qur'an and urges them to recognize its worth:

﴿لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَـباً فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ﴾

(Indeed, We have sent down for you a Book in which there is Dhikrukum). Ibn `Abbas said: "Honor for you.''

﴿أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ﴾

(Will you not then understand) means, will you not understand this blessing, and accept it This is like the Ayah:

﴿وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَلُونَ ﴾

(And verily, this is indeed a Reminder for you and your people, and you will be questioned.) ﴿43:44﴾
