HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?

it is clear that those who do not do so will not comprehend the
meanings of any of the verses in the Qur'an.
It is a fact that a person's life is filled with numerous lessons he
learns from the events he experiences within himself and in his
surroundings. The Qur'an is a guide that shows people how to
interpret the lessons in their lives and how they should react once
they have understood them. Therefore, the Qur'an is a guiding light
that structures a person's daily life and explains each moment of his
existence. One can only come to the true meaning of the Qur'an if
one reads it with the proper contemplation that God, the Possessor
of infinite knowledge and wisdom, deserves. It has already been
stated in a Qur'anic verse that the Qur'an is a book that one should

contemplate seriously and use as a source of guidance "It is a
Book We have sent down to you, full of blessing, so let men
of understanding ponder its Signs and take heed." (Surah
Sad: 29). Yet again, in another verse, the importance of genuinely
thinking about the Qur'an has been emphasized:
Do they not ponder these words (of God)? Has
anything come to them that did not come to their
ancestors the previous peoples? (Surat al-Mu'minun:
68)

The Qur'an is the source of limitless and superior knowledge
because it has been revealed by God, the Lord of all the Worlds.
The Qur'an covers countless topics, from the attributes of God to
the wonders of creation, from the intricacies of the human soul to
the facts and mysteries of the universe and the Hereafter, and so
on. So the appreciation of such vast amounts of information
encased in such a pure and essential language can only be possible
with a combination of deep thought, awareness, attention to detail,
a sincere heart and a strong conscience.
