فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَا أُوْلِي الاْاَلْبَابِ

So have Taqwa of Allah, O men of understanding,

meaning, `O you who have sound understanding, do not be like them because if you do, you will suffer what they suffered, O people of comprehension,'

الَّذِينَ امَنُوا

who believe,

meaning, in Allah and His Messengers,

قَدْ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا

Allah has indeed sent down to you a Reminder.

Allah also said,

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَـفِظُونَ

Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr and surely, We will preserve it. (15:9)
