Al-Muddaththir 74:52–56
Worthy of fear and forgiveness
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ ٥٢ كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ٥٣ كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ٥٤ فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥ وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ٥٦
The meaning, simply
Each of them wants open pages sent down to him. No! They do not fear the Hereafter. No! The Quran is a reminder, so whoever wills will remember it, and they will not remember unless Allah wills. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
