LessonsSupplementary Practice 28 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat al-Aʿlā and Sūrat al-GhāshiyahQuiz

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ ۞ وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
The one who fears will heed, while the most wretched will avoid it. (87:10–11)

The command to remind is followed by two contrasting responses. Man yakhshā identifies the receptive person by reverent fear, while al-ashqā intensifies the opposite description.

Wāw links two different responses for contrast. The pronoun in “avoids it” returns to the reminder, so both statements concern the same message and distinct audiences, not unrelated topics.
