Transliteration
Fa-innama yassarnahu bilisanika la'allahum yatadakkarun
Tafsir (Explanation)
Allah states that He has made the Quran easy to understand and memorize in the Arabic language of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) so that people may reflect upon it and take heed. Classical scholars like Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir emphasize that the facilitation (taysir) refers to both the eloquent clarity of the Quranic language and the ease of its preservation and comprehension, serving as a mercy to humanity and a means of guidance.
Revelation Context
This ayah appears near the conclusion of Surah Ad-Dukhan, which is a Meccan surah focusing on the Quran's divine origin and its role as guidance. The context emphasizes Allah's deliberate choice to reveal the Quran in clear, accessible Arabic so that the Arab people (and by extension, all humanity) could understand the message of tawhid and prepare for the Day of Judgment.
Related Hadiths
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it' (Sahih Bukhari 5027). Additionally, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet said: 'The one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels' (Sahih Muslim 798).

Key Lesson
The Quran's ease and accessibility are divine gifts designed to enable spiritual reflection and transformation in human hearts; believers should therefore approach the Quran with gratitude, seeking to understand and internalize its messages as a means of becoming more conscious of Allah and His guidance.
