Why is the Quran not impacting us today?

July 02, 2021

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in the Qur’an in Surah al Hashr [59:21]:

لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

“Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and split asunder (crumbling) by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables that We put forward to mankind that they may reflect.” [Al-Hashr, 59:21]

Allah سبحانه وتعالى  makes it clear that if He had sent the Qur’an upon a mountain with its immense size and magnitude, that the mountain would be impacted and would humble itself and would divide or crumble from the fear of Allah.

Let us ask ourselves, the Qur’an was not revealed for the mountains but revealed for us-- Do we feel the impact of the Quran in our life?
