Surah Taa-Haa (20) — Ayah 113
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا ﴿113﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And thus We have sent it down as a Qur’ân in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allâh, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings).

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 113) ➊ { وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا :} "In this way" refers to the verses mentioned in this Surah, that We have revealed the entire Quran in the same manner as these verses. See the explanation of { ’’ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا ‘‘ } in Surah Yusuf (2).
➋ {وَ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْهِ مِنَ الْوَعِيْدِ:} means that repeatedly and in various ways, He has warned of His punishment and grasp in this world and the Hereafter.
➌ { لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُوْنَ … : } so that they may fear, or at the very least, this may create some kind of admonition and advice in their hearts, and they may reflect on what happened to the previous nations—if we also commit sins, we will be destroyed just like them. (Ibn Kathir) Due to the tanween of indefiniteness on {’’ ذِكْرًا ‘‘}, it has been translated as "some kind of advice."
