Reciting the Verse of the Throne and Allah’s Protection from Satan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In it, from what I recited of the verse of creation, you learn that you praised [Allah] after the day, so how was the creation? That is what was fabricated by reason.

Answer:
Its meaning is that you did not recite it with the presence of the heart and did not act upon what you did with it. I swear by your life, whoever recites the Throne is protected from Satan. One may recite it, and it may be forgiven, and he may recite it in the most beautiful way with a good voice, and Satan is still attached to him, because he did not act upon it, because he did not act upon it. But the intended meaning is the one who recites it with presence of heart and acts in accordance with its level. That is the one whom Satan does not contradict.
Otherwise, we may recite the Qur'an while not acting upon it and not going beyond it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: whoever
He does not go beyond his fingerلا يجاوز فناجره
So everyone who recites the Qur'an obtains the benefits of the Qur'an; only the one who acts upon it, believes in it, and reflects on it is the one who benefits and obtains these great benefits. Yes. I mean, mere recitation is not sufficient. Recitation with reflection. Recitation with belief. Recitation with presence of heart. Yes.
