With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth-

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ

To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.
Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners,
On thy heart that thou mayest be a warner,
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
