Is Understanding the Qur’an Limited Exclusively to the Scholars

00:00:00--> 00:00:02

There are many Muslims who say

00:00:03--> 00:00:04

that the Quran

00:00:05--> 00:00:06

is meant

00:00:06--> 00:00:08

to be read with understanding

00:00:09--> 00:00:10

only by the alims,

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

only by the scholars.

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

A layman Muslim

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

should not try to understand the Quran.

00:00:17--> 00:00:17

The

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

Quran is meant to be read with understanding

00:00:20--> 00:00:22

only by the alims, only by the scholars.

00:00:23--> 00:00:24

I started my talk

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

by quoting a verse of the Quran,

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

which is also recited

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

by the in the beginning of the

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

program.

00:00:33--> 00:00:33

Which occurs

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

in chapter number 54. No less than 4

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

times.

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

Chapter 54,

00:00:40--> 00:00:43

verse number 17, verse number 22, verse number

00:00:43--> 00:00:44

32, and verse number 40.

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

We have made the Quran

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

Then which of you shall not receive admonition?

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

Then which of you shall not receive admonition?
