Question:
How does one abandon the Qur'an? And what are the rulings that follow from abandoning the Qur'an?
Answer:
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:[Al-Furqan 25:30]. Abandoning it has types: abandoning listening to it, abandoning reflecting on it when one hears it, and abandoning acting upon it. Abandonment means leaving; and regarding the *rajaz* (poetry), "abandon the *rajaz* of the idols," and abandoning them means leaving them. So abandoning the Qur'an causes the hearts to become hard. As for reciting the Qur'an with the presence of the heart, it causes the hearts to become soft and humble before Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
