Causes of Being Affected by the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What are the causes of being affected by the Qur'an?
Answer:
The causes of being affected by the Qur'an are many. Among them is the presence of the heart, seeking refuge in Allah from Satan at the beginning of the recitation, from the accursed Satan, at the start of the recitation,[An-Nahl 16:98] and this is done with the presence of the heart, so that the seeking of refuge is with the tongue only; you seek refuge while knowing the meaning of the seeking of refuge and intending it, so then Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) keeps him away from you. Also, there is reflection; reflecting on the verses is something that affects the heart with fear, if you reflect on the verses of the Qur'an.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
