A reminder for all

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ٥١ وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٢

The meaning, simply

When the disbelievers hear the Quran, they almost strike you down with their looks out of hatred, and they say: he is mad. But the Quran is nothing but a reminder for all the worlds, humans and jinn.

Think with me

When something impresses you, say: Ma sha Allah, tabarak Allah. Why do we say it?
