Allaah
the Most High says:
"And
the Messenger said O My Lord my people have
abandoned - acting or listening - to the Qur'aan."
[al-Furqaan: 30]
So
Allaah informs us about His Messenger and Prophet
Muhammad, that he said: {My Lord my people have
abandoned - acting or listening - to the Qur'aan.}
and that is because the idol-worshippers did not pay
attention nor listen to the Qur'aan, as Allaah says:
{The ones who disbelieved said do not listen to this
Qur'aan but make noise so that you may overcome it.}
Thus
when the Qur'aan was being read to them they would
make noise and futile speech so that they would not
hear the Qur'aan. However, this is from the ways of
abandoning the Qur'aan. Likewise not having faith
and trust in it is also from the ways of abandoning
the Qur'aan. Not pondering over it, nor trying to
understand it, not acting by it, not obeying its
orders and refraining from what it forbids, turning
to something other than it - whether poetry,
opinions or music, amusement, or other forms of
speech and taking a path that is derived from other
than the Qur'aan are all from the ways of abandoning
the Qur'aan.
We
ask Allaah - the Beneficent Provider, the One who
has Power to do what He wills - to distance us from
that which He dislikes and to use us in that which
He is pleased with, from memorising, understanding
the Qur'aan and establishing that which it
necessitates - throughout the day and night - in a
manner that He loves and likes for indeed He is the
Most Beneficent, and Bestower.
