So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
“So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.”
So, remember Allah with your hearts and your whole beings, and He will remember you with approval and protection, for you are rewarded according to what you do. Also, be grateful to Allah for the blessings He has given you, and do not be ungrateful by denying them or using them in prohibited ways.
The plain meaning, from Al-Mukhtasar fi at-Tafsir
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
What does Quran 2:152 mean?
In al-Baqarah this arrives immediately after Allah lists what the community has been given — a Messenger from among them, reciting to them, purifying them, teaching them what they did not know. Remembrance is the response to that list. The commentators read the exchange as exact: remember Him and you are remembered by Him, in approval and in protection, because a person is answered in the kind of thing he offers.
