And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

(54:17) We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. *15 Is there, then, any who will take heed?
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*15) .Some people have misconstrued the words Yassarnal-Qur an to mean that the Qur'an is an easy Book; no knowledge is required to understand it so much so that a person even without the knowledge of the Arabic language, can write a commentary on it, and can deduce any injunctions he likes from its verses independent of the Hadith and Islamic Law, whereas the context in which these words occur, indicates that they are meant to make the people realize this: "One means of the admonition are the dreadful torments that descended upon the rebellious nations, and the other means is this Qur'an, which guides you to the right path by argument and instruction. Obviously, this means of admonition is by far the easier one; then, why don't you take advantage of it and insist on meeting with the torment instead? It is indeed Allah's bounty that He has sent this Book through His Prophet and is warning you that the ways you are following lead only to destntction and your well-being lies only in following this way. This method of admonition has been adopted so that you are rescued even before you fall into the pit of destntction. Now, who could be more foolish than the one who does not believe in the admonition and realizes his error only after he has fallen into the pit?"
