5. Consequences of Not Studying the Quran.
The Quran calls itself ‘huda’ which means ‘guidance’. It’s like a light which directs on to the right path in the midst of darkness. How can we expect to find the right path without that light? How can we willfully extinguish that light and wander around in the darkness?
Allah (SWT) said: “And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, ’Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way. Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend. He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter.’ And the Messenger has said, ‘O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’an as [a thing] abandoned.’” (25:26-30)
“Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided – it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager over them.” (39:41)
