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)
