I am a young Muslim, but sometimes I think thoughts that I fear.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am a young Muslim, but sometimes I think thoughts that I fear. I have learned that the Qur'an increases the believer in faith and increases the disbeliever in disbelief and rebellion. Then I sit and say: Is the Qur'an not one, and is the origin of man not one? How does this contradiction occur? I ask you to convince me, using examples to make it clear. May Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : What the questioner mentioned regarding the fact that the Qur'an increases the believer in faith and does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is correct, this is correct. It is indicated by the reality of the situation, just as the Qur'an has spoken of it. As for the reality of the situation, the point is that when the believer reads the Qur'an and reflects on the admonitions and stories within it, he believes the news, reflects on the stories, and complies with the rulings, his faith increases by this without doubt. And the disbeliever or the rebel, when he reads the Qur'an, he denies the news or doubts it, does not reflect on the stories, and sees them as the myths of the former peoples.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Likewise, in the rulings, he does not comply with any command and does not refrain from any prohibition. All of this is among the causes of the decrease of faith, so his faith decreases and he increases in loss, because the Qur'an, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,Sunan an-Nasa'i 2437Sahih (Darussalam).
This is an example that clarifies how the faith of the believer increases through the Qur'an and how the loss of the wrongdoers increases. As for examples from tangible matters, we see that the person with a healthy body eats this type of food and his body benefits from it, grows, and increases.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And the person with an ailment, who has a disease in his body, eats it, and his ailment increases, and it may destroy him and kill him, yes, even though the food is one.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And yet its effect differed due to the place it is in. So likewise, the Qur'an is one, and its effect differs due to the place it is in. Yes.
The questioner : Yes.

either for you or against you
