HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?
state of these judgmental and insensible people who are deaf to any
explanation or advice, is mentioned in a Qur'anic verse:
Some of them listen to you but We have placed covers
on their hearts, preventing them from understanding
it, and heaviness in their ears. Though they see every
Sign, they still have no faith, so that when they come
to you, disputing with you, those who are disbelievers
say, 'This is nothing but the myths of previous
peoples!' (Surat al-An'am: 25)
People like that do not pose any threat to Islam or the Qur'an
with their actions. No matter how much they try to cause harm to
the Qur'an and to turn or hold others back from their religion, they
do no more than damage themselves without even realizing it. This
fact is stated in the continuation of the previous verse:
They keep others from it and avoid it themselves.
They are only destroying themselves but they are not
aware of it... (Surat al-An'am: 26)
When they finally do realize the errors of their ways it is of no
use, as they are too late and there is no way to repair the damage:
If only you could see when they are standing before the
Fire and saying, 'Oh! If only we could be sent back
again, we would not deny the Signs of our Lord and we
would be among the believers'!. (Surat al-An'am: 27)

The Qur'an is the only divine book that God has sent to all of
mankind as a warning as well as guidance, and is valid until the Day of
Judgment. Mankind has altered the other holy books that were sent
