Transliteration:( Wa kazaalika nufassilul Aayaati wa la'allahum yarji'oon )
And Thus, We explain Our Signs variedly and in order that they may return [401].
This verse highlights that Allah conveys His signs in multiple forms so that hearts may be stirred and people may return to Him. The Qur’an contains verses that appeal to different motivations—some warn of punishment to awaken fear, others promise reward to stir hope, while others present logical proofs to guide the rational mind.
This varied presentation ensures that each individual, regardless of their temperament or level of understanding, finds a way back to the truth. Guidance is made accessible to all, and the message becomes clear for anyone sincerely seeking the path of Allah.
