The Impact of the Qur'an on Hearts and Its Contemplation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks and says: Through this great Qur'an, how does the Qur'an affect others? And did those who came after Islam become affected by it?
Answer:
Yes, the Qur'an affects the one whose heart is present[Qaf 50:37] that is, the one with a present heart. So the heart must be present during recitation, when reading the Qur'an, and when contemplating the Qur'an. As for merely running it through the tongue without contemplation, that does not benefit anything. Yes.
This person asks and says: Through this great Qur'an, how does the Qur'an affect others? And did those who came after Islam become affected by it?
Answer:
Yes, the Qur'an affects the one whose heart is present
Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ
