Not weeping upon hearing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I find that I do not weep much when I hear the Qur'an, or when the imam makes the supplication in the qunut during Ramadan. Is this evidence of, and a sign of, the hardness of the heart?
Answer:
This is a kind of heedlessness. However, persist in reciting the Qur'an and reflecting upon it, for this will help you to attain humility, with the permission of Allah. Reflect upon the Qur'an when you read it or when you hear it, and likewise listen to the reciter. He, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] Yes.

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
