لَن يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّآ أَذًى ۖ وَإِن يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ ٱلْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَThey will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped.
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟ فِيهِ ٱخْتِلَـٰفًا كَثِيرًاWill they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.
فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ۚ وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَSo of the people who did wrong the last remnant was cut off. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

The Quran explicitly commands its readers to reflect deeply upon it - mere recitation without understanding falls short of its purpose.
