(We have detailed Our Ayat…) We have explained the Ayat and made them clear and plain,
(for a people who take heed) those who have sound comprehension and understand what Allah and His Messenger convey to them,
(For them will be the abode of peace) Paradise,
(with their Lord.) on the Day of Resurrection.
