Warning From Abandoning the Qur'aan
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Shaykh Muhammad Jameel Zeeno
Allaah the Most High says:
"And the Messenger said O My Lord my people have
abandoned - acting or listening - to the Qur'aan." [al-Furqaan:
30]
So Allaah informs us about His Messenger and Prophet Muhammad,
that he said: {My Lord my people have abandoned - acting or
listening - to the Qur'aan.} and that is because the idol-worshippers
did not pay attention nor listen to the Qur'aan, as Allaah says: {The
ones who disbelieved said do not listen to this Qur'aan but
make noise so that you may overcome it.}
Thus when the Qur'aan was being read to them they would make noise
and futile speech so that they would not hear the Qur'aan. However,
this is from the ways of abandoning the Qur'aan. Likewise not having
faith and trust in it is also from the ways of abandoning the Qur'aan.
Not pondering over it, nor trying to understand it, not acting by it, not
obeying its orders and refraining from what it forbids, turning to
something other than it - whether poetry, opinions or music,
amusement, or other forms of speech and taking a path that is derived
from other than the Qur'aan are all from the ways of abandoning the
Qur'aan.
We ask Allaah - the Beneficent Provider, the One who has Power to do
what He wills - to distance us from that which He dislikes and to use us
in that which He is pleased with, from memorising, understanding the
Qur'aan and establishing that which it necessitates - throughout the
day and night - in a manner that He loves and likes for indeed He is the
Most Beneficent, and Bestower.
