The Muslim's Obligation Toward the Noble Qur'an and the Ruling on Neglecting It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the Noble Qur'an, may Allah preserve you. Muhammad Hafiz from Dammam says: What is our obligation toward the Noble Qur'an, and what is required of one who has abandoned the Qur'an after having memorized parts of it?
Answer:
The Noble Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is obligatory for us to revere it, to take care of it, and to act upon it. If we have memorized it, or memorized a portion of it, we must preserve it so that we do not forget it, because it slips away, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Above all, acting upon the Noble Qur'an is required; we must act upon it. Merely memorizing it is not sufficient, nor is reciting it sufficient; rather, these are means, and the goal is acting upon the Noble Qur'an. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
