﴿ كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًۭا ﴾

“THUS DO WE relate unto thee some of the stories of what happened in the past; and [thus] have We vouchsafed unto thee, out of Our grace, a reminder.”

(Thus relate Who unto thee) in this way we sent you, O Muhammad, Gabriel with (some tidings of that which happened of old) with the events of past nations, (and We have given thee from Our presence a Reminder) We have honoured you with the Qur'an which contains the events of past and future generations.
