"I DON'T READ QURAN" | EMOTIONAL

Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) says in the Quran: "And the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) will say: O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and teachings)". (Quran, Surah Al-Furqan, Chapter #25, Verse #30). Imagine the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) complaining about me and you on day of Judgement for deserting the Quran? And why shouldn't he complain when he (Peace and blessings be upon him) left behind the best of Books, the eternal miracle, the words of Allah between our hands, and we simply put it on a shelf to collect dust! Imam ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah [rahimahullah] summarized the type of abandonment of the Quran: By not listening to its recitation or giving attention to it. By not acting by it and abiding by what it has prescribed of halal or haram, even if the one who does so still believes in it or recites it. This means it is not sufficient to believe in it and recite it, but then to then abandon acting by it. By not ruling by it or taking it as judge in all matters of religion By not reflecting upon its meanings, understanding them and knowing what Allah [the One who spoke it] desires from the one who recites it. By not using it as a cure and a healing for all of the diseases and ailments of the heart, such that one seeks the cure for his/her illness in other than the Quran.
