Have You Parted Company With the Qur’an?

[BinteShafi]

Have You Parted Company With the Qur’an?
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

Parting company with the Qur’an is of various degrees:

Firstly, refusing to listen to it and believe in it, or to pay any heed to it.

Secondly, ceasing to act upon it and abide by what it declares as lawful or unlawful; even if one reads it and believes in it.

Thirdly, abandon judging by it or being judged by it, whether in the fundamentals of the faith or in its branches; and to believe that it does not beget certainty and that its textual wordings do not beget sure knowledge.

Fourthly, to abandon pondering over it and comprehending it, and not seeking to discover what the Speaker intended by it.

Fifthly, to abandon seeking a cure or healing through it with regards to any of the heart’s diseases or maladies; and to seek healing for such illnesses from other than it. All of this is included in Allah’s statement: And the Messenger will say: “O my Lord! My people have abandoned this Qur’an!” This is the case despite some forms of abandonment being less
severe than others.

may Allah reward you sister BinteShafe.
Ever wondered what would happen if we treated our Qur'an like we treat our cell phones, carry it around in your purses or pockets, reading its text several times a day, we would all be guided insha Allah.
nice thread sister!
