What is the relationship between His saying, may He be exalted, in Surat An-Nisa: "so that you may understand" and "so that you may reflect"?
The phrases "so that you may understand" (لعلكم تعقلون) or "so that you may reflect" (لعلكم تتفكرون) do not appear in Surat An-Nisa. They do appear in other surahs, such as Surat Al-Baqarah, and their meaning varies depending on their context. Scholars have paid close attention to the harmony of Quranic verses' concluding phrases. For further research, one can consult books such as "Al-Itqan fi Ulum Al-Quran," "Manahil Al-Irfan," "Asrar At-Takrar fi Al-Quran," and "Jawahir Al-Quran."
