LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN
(Disbelievers are) those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance
and whose ears were unable to hear [the Qur’an]. (Surat al-Kahf,
101)
Those who disbelieve all but strike you down with their evil looks
when they hear the Reminder and say, ‘He is quite mad.’ (Surat al-
Qalam, 51)
We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from
understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. When you mention
your Lord alone in the Qur’an, they turn their backs and run
away. (Surat al-Isra’, 46)
Has the time not arrived for the hearts of those who believe to
yield to the remembrance of God and to the truth He has sent
down, so they are not like those who were given the Book before
for whom the time seemed over long so that their hearts became
hard? Many of them are deviators. (Surat al-Hadid, 16)
PONDERING THE VERSES OF THE QUR’AN AND
DRAWING LESSONS FROM IT
It is a Book We have sent down to you, full of blessing, so let people
of intelligence ponder its Signs and take heed. (Surah Sad, 29)
We have made the Qur’an easy to remember. But is there any
rememberer there? (Surat al-Qamar, 22)
This is the path of your Lord–straight. We have made the Signs
clear for people who remember. (Surat al-An’am, 126)
In this way We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an and We have
made various threats in it so that hopefully they will guard
against evil or it will spur them into remembrance. (Surah Ta Ha,
113)
