﷽
Reflecting upon the Qur'an is a cure for all hearts
The Noble Quran is the words of Allah The Almighty that He has revealed to be implemented as a complete way of life for people. Therefore, undoubtedly, the recitation of the Quran is one of the most beloved acts of worshiping Allah The Almighty.
It is also certain that reciting the Quran without understanding or reflection is not the goal: the main objective is that a reciter wholeheartedly ponders the meaning of the Quran and fully reflects on, understands and thinks about its secrets and pearls of wisdom.
The Quran Calls for Reflection
Allah The Almighty invites us to reflect on His Book and ponder its meanings and secrets; He Says (what means): {[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.} [Quran 38:29]
The Quran reproaches those who do not reflect on it or extract its meanings. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. And when there comes to them information about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a few.}[Quran 4:82-83]
Also, people differ when it comes to their listening to the Quran.
Allah The Almighty Says (what means):{And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape? Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].} [Quran 50:36-37]
Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allah have mercy upon him said about these verses.
