The Statements of the Recent Scholars about Pondering on the Quraan

[Prepared by Lajnah al-‘Ilmiyyah Fee Markaz at-Tadabur, ar-Riyaadh]

Al-Allaamah ‘Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sa’dee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “Pondering on the Qur’aan is the way to understanding all the other sciences and understanding. By it, you will be able to extract all its goodness and you will be able to abstract from it all the various sciences. By it, your Eemaan will be strengthened in his heart and its roots placed within it.” [Tafseer Ibn Sa’dee (Pg. 189)]

Al-Allaamah Muhammad Ameen as-Shinqeetee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “Be warned by brother, be warned! You will be gain asceticism from the Book of Allaah, the Most High, will all its asceticism. The one gives it important will never be burned by it. Know! Intellect, manners, wisdom, they don’t pay attention to criticism of the insane.” [Adwaa al-Bayaan (1/5)]
Al-Allaamah Muhammad Rasheed Ridaa [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “If the Muslims remained firmed upon pondering on the Qur’aan and its guidance within it throughout the ages, their mannerisms and behaviour would not have become corrupted. Their authority and wealth would have not been destroyed.” [Tafseer al-Manaar (5/241)]

Al-Allaamah ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “It is upon you ponder on the Qur’aan until you know its meanings. Ponder on it from the beginning to the end. Recite it to gain understanding and intellect. Recite it to gain purification and benefit. Don’t recite with a negligent heart, but recite it with a heart that is present and attentive. Ask the people of knowledge if something is unclear because, with Praise to Allaah, there are many that know the general meanings of the Qur’aan because they know the Arabic language.” [Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa bin Baaz (9/25)]
Al-Allaamah Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “I encourage you, oh brothers, to pay attention to pondering on the Qur’aan and knowing its meanings. Verily, the Qur’aan has been revealed for us to ponder on it and to be reminded by it. There is no benefit in reciting it without knowing what it means, so if there is something that you don’t understand from it, then ask.” [Liqaa al-Maftooh (Meeting. 171)]
