Question:
The questioner: Does the statement of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Jumu'ah 62:5], include the one who memorizes the Qur'an but does not know its interpretation or does not act upon it?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. The one who does not act upon the Qur'an or does not reflect upon it falls under this verse, a fortiori. Allah mentioned it to us so that we would be wary of this characteristic that the Jews had with the Torah. Yes.

Yes, indeed. The one who does not act upon the Qur'an or does not reflect upon it falls under this verse, a fortiori. Allah mentioned it to us so that we would be wary of this characteristic that the Jews had with the Torah. Yes.
