When is the Qur'an considered abandoned, and is reciting it in prayer sufficient?

Question:
The questioner says: In this time, many people have abandoned the Noble Qur'an and its recitation, to the point that they do not know it except in prayer or in Ramadan. So when have we abandoned the Qur'an? And does reciting it in prayer make us free from this abandonment?

Answer:
True abandonment is abandoning the implementation of it. Whoever does not act upon it has abandoned it, but whoever acts upon it has not abandoned it. However, it is recommended for him to increase in its recitation, night and day. It was said that 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite the Qur'an every day, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Your soul has a right over you, and your guest has a right over you ," and he said, "Recite it in a month," and so on, until he said, "Recite it in seven days." So a person strives to recite the Qur'an according to his capacity, whether he completes it in a month, two months, or three months. He is not considered to have abandoned it if he delays completing the recitation, provided he acts upon it and remains steadfast upon the religion of Allah; that does not harm him. But the more he recites, the better it is for him, increasing in its recitation with reflection so that he benefits from the speech of his Lord (Exalted and Majestic). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
So it is recommended for the believer to increase in the recitation of the Qur'an, but in a way that does not burden him, nor prevent him from other works, nor hinder his duties. Rather, he should allocate time for this and time for that; time for his worldly works, and time for his works with his family. And so he distributes his time. If he completes the recitation every month, or every forty days, or every two months, or every three months, all of it is good, but with reflection and understanding. Yes.
