How the Qur'an Becomes an Argument for You or Against You
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, how does the Qur'an become an argument for you or against you?
Answer:
If you act upon it, it becomes an argument for you. If you reflect on it, understand its meanings, and act upon it, it becomes an argument for you before Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) on the Day of Resurrection. If you turn away from it and do not act upon it, it becomes an argument against you. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Mu'minun 23:105] My verses [Al-Mu'minun 23:105] Allah will argue against you on the Day of Resurrection, because the Qur'an came to you, it was recited to you, or you read it yourself, and the Qur'an reached you, yet you did not act upon it, so it becomes an argument against you on the Day of Resurrection.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
