[1] O my Lord! My people deserted this Qur’an

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imam Ibn Al Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: Boycotting the Qur’an is of different types:

To abandon listening to it; to abandon belief in it and not paying attention to it.

To abandon acting upon it. To abandon judging by it in the fundamentals of the religion and its subsidiary issues.

To (claim) that it does not give certainty. To (claim) that its statements do not lead to knowledge.

To abandon contemplating it. To abandon seeking to understand it. To abandon acquiring knowledge of what Allah intends by it and its remedies.

Even though some of these types of boycotting are less serious than others, they are all included in Allah’s statement:

وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا

And the Messenger Muhammad will say: ‘’O my Lord! My people deserted this Qur’an”.
