Types of Abandoning the Noble Qur'an

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the means or methods we should implement so that we do not fall into neglecting the Noble Qur'an? He asks: What are the means or methods we should implement so that we do not fall into neglecting the Qur'an? And is there advice regarding a specific amount that, if we act upon it, will save us from this great danger, which is neglecting the Qur'an?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: Neglecting the Qur'an has types. The first type is neglecting its learning and teaching; one neither learns it nor teaches it. The second type is neglecting its recitation; if one has learned it and memorized it, he does not recite it, nor does he study it and review it. He becomes heedless of it until he forgets it. This is neglect. The third type is neglecting its reflection; a person may recite the Qur'an and increase his recitation, completing many recitations in a day or in a month, and he may be skilled in recitation, but he does not reflect on it. He does not reflect on its meanings. He merely repeats it without reflection. This is neglect. Neglect of reflecting on the Qur'an. And he does not benefit from his recitation of the Qur'an.
The fourth type is neglecting acting upon it. After he reflects on it, he does not act upon it. He may recite it and be skilled in recitation. He may also be skilled in interpretation and knowing the meanings of the Qur'an. But he does not act upon it. This is neglect of acting upon the Qur'an. And this is more severe. The Qur'an does not benefit him at that time; rather, the Qur'an curses him, and on the Day of Resurrection, it will drive him to the Fire, as in the hadith.
The fifth type is neglecting ruling by it, ruling by the Qur'an, keeping the Qur'an away from ruling, and placing the law of the disbelievers in place of the Qur'an. And this is more severe, and may Allah protect us from it. So neglecting the Qur'an has types. You must avoid these types.
The ruling in the Qur'an is not limited to rulings in the courts; rather, the ruling in the Qur'an is over your own self, over opinions, schools of thought, parties, and differences. The Qur'an rules in all domains, and ruling by the Qur'an between opponents is general. Ruling by the Qur'an is not confined to disputes in the courts, as some people think; rather, ruling by the Qur'an is general. Whatever it is Yes.
