Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Please go ahead. Shaykh, I am a female student who graduated from a secondary school for memorizing the Qur'an. Yes. Yes. And we completed the Qur'an three times in school over a period of twelve years. Now, we are memorizers of how many parts? The teachers used to say that you are the most envied people on the Day of Resurrection. Please, Shaykh.
Answer:
There is no doubt that the one who reads the Qur'an, or memorizes the Qur'an, or listens to the Qur'an, there is no doubt that it is obligatory for him to act upon it, and he should not be content with mere memorization or mere recitation. Rather, it is obligatory for him to act upon it, fulfill the obligations, abandon the forbidden, and increase in righteous deeds. The purpose of the Qur'an, the purpose of the hadiths, and the purpose of knowledge is to act upon them, not merely carrying the Qur'an, or carrying the hadiths, or carrying jurisprudence without action. For this is the way of those against whom the anger of Allah is directed, namely the Jews, who had knowledge but did not act upon it. Yes.
