five types of abandonment of the Qur’an

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyya has listed out five types of abandonment of the Qur’an. We need to know them so that we can always be careful and cautious about them. 
Types of ‘abandonment’ of the Qur’an:
1. “To abandon listening to it and believing in it.
2. To abandon acting upon it, and ignoring its lawful and prohibited ordinances (halaal and haraam), even if one believes in it and recites it.
3. To abandon judging by it and resorting to it as a judge when there are differences in the essence of the religion or other matters.
4. To abandon pondering over it, and understanding it, and seeking the explanation of it.
5. To abandon using it as a cure in all types of diseases of the heart, and instead to seek to cure these diseases by other means.
And all of these categories are included in the statement of Allah:
“And the Messenger (will) say: O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur’an” (25: 30)
whereas some type of abandonment is less severe than others”.
I hope and pray to Allah that when our Prophet complains to Him on the Day of Judgement that his people did ‘abandon’ the Qur’an, let us not be one among those disobedient lot. Aameen.
