Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: We see that many people, may Allah guide them, have little interest in the Qur'an, whether in memorizing it or reciting it, and they do not contemplate or understand its meanings. This has led them into religious innovations (bid'ah) and misguidance. Is there any guidance?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for Muslims to read the Qur'an with contemplation, and to act upon the righteous deeds to which the Qur'an calls, and to abandon sins, transgressions, and evil deeds, and to abandon vile morals. It is obligatory to adopt the morals of the Qur'an and what it indicates. The purpose of the Qur'an is not merely recitation, or beautifying the voice, or perfecting the recitation; these are means and are not the intended goal. The intended goal is contemplation and acting upon the Qur'an. Yes.
