Who should be reminded?

Allah has informed us in the Qur’an whom shall take heed and remember, and in the verse, ”Remind, then, if the reminder benefits” (Surat al-A’la, 9) He commands believers to remind those who are of such character. Some of the attributes of those who shall benefit from a reminder are as follows:

… This is admonishment for all who believe in Allah and the Last Day… (Surat at-Talaq, 2)

He who has fear will be reminded; (Surat al-A’la, 10)

… It is only people of intelligence who pay heed.  (Surat ar-Ra’d, 19)

… But none pay heed save those who repent. (Surah Ghafir, 13)

… So remind, with the Qur’an, whoever fears My Threat. (Surah Qaf, 45)

And remind them, for truly the believers benefit from being reminded.   (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 55)
