Allah ﷻ says in Surah Hashr
لَوۡ أَنزَلۡنَا هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلࣲ لَّرَأَیۡتَهُۥ خَـٰشِعࣰا مُّتَصَدِّعࣰا مِّنۡ خَشۡیَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ
Had We sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbled and torn apart in awe of Allah..
[59:21]
_
If this is the case with a mountain which is hard and huge, that if it was made able to comprehend and understand this Qur’an, will feel humble and crumble from fear of Allah ﷻ
Then what about you?
Why do your hearts not feel softness and humbleness from the fear of Allah ﷻ, not even attempting to understand or comprehend the Kalam of Allah ﷻ even though you have the ability to do so!
_
Allah ﷻ emphasizes the greatness of the Qur’an, its high status and of being worthy of making hearts humble and rent asunder upon hearing it.
This is why Allah ﷻ said,
وَتِلْكَ الاَْمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect.
[59:21]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had someone make him a Minbar. Before that, he used to stand next to a tree trunk in the Masjid to deliver speeches. So, when the Minbar was made and placed in the Masjid, the Prophet ﷺ came to deliver a speech and passed the tree trunk, headed towards the Minbar, the tree trunk started weeping, just like an infant. The tree trunk missed hearing the remembrance of Allah ﷻ and the revelation that were being recited next to it.
[Refer Sahih al-Bukhari 3584]
In one of the narrations for this Hadith, Al-Hasan Al-Basri رحمه الله said after narrating the Hadith,
“You – mankind — are more worthy to miss the Messenger of Allah than the tree trunk!”
Likewise, this Ayah asks that if the solid mountains feel humble and are rent asunder from the fear of Allah ﷻ, if it heard Allah’s Speech and comprehended it, what about you O mankind who heard the Qur’an and understood it.
Allah ﷻ said in another Ayah,
وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْانًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الاٌّرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى
And if there was any qur’an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur’an],
[13:31]
_
In another Ayah, Allah ﷻ asks
أَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ أَمۡ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقۡفَالُهَاۤ
Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts?
[47:24]
_
Ask yourself, when the Qur’an is being recited and you don’t know the Ayaat, do you sit there and just listen inattentively?
Don’t you want to know what Allah ﷻ is saying?
But if it was music, we would feel genuine emotion!
_
So many of our Ummah is another level of lazy in terms of Deen.
If the act isn’t easy for us or requires sacrifice and isn’t beneficial in this world, we do everything to avoid it.
And when it is easy, we jump on it and we make it look like we are pious.
Make an effort!
_
May Allah ﷻ increase us and all muslims in understanding the Glorious Qur’an.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
