Question:
This questioner asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-An'am 6:19]: Does it mean that anyone who has been reached by the Qur'an is not excused by ignorance?
Answer:
If the Qur'an reaches him and he is an Arab who understands the Arabic language and understands the language of the Qur'an, then the argument is established against him. As for a non-Arab who memorizes the Qur'an but does not know what its meanings are, the argument is not established against him until it is interpreted for him and explained to him. Yes.
