وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًا
这节经文可以十分确切地用于那些把 «古兰经» 抛弃在身后的所谓穆斯林。在过去的十四个世纪中, «古兰经» 也许从来没有像今天那样被穆斯林所忽视过。穆圣说过一句话, 其大意是: “我的民族将有一个时期, 那时伊斯兰教只留下它的名称, 而 «古兰经» 只留下它的文字”。(بَيْهَقِی شُعَبُ الْاِيْمَانْ, Baihaqi, Shu‘abul-Iman) 现在就是那个时期。
Quite appropriately the verse may apply to those so-called Muslims who have discarded the Qur’an and have thrown it behind their backs. Perhaps never during the last 14 centuries the Qur’an was so much neglected and ignored by the Muslims as it is today. There is a saying of the Holy Prophet to the effect: 'A time will come upon my people when there will remain nothing of Islam but its name and of the Qur’an but its words' (Baihaqi. Shu‘abul-Iman). The present indeed is that time.
Commentary:
The expression "my people" may apply to the Quraish of Mecca who were the Holy Prophet’s people and were the Quran’s immediate addressees. More appropriately the words may apply to all Muslims, who have discarded the Quran and have thrown it behind their backs. Perhaps never during the last 14 centuries the Quran was so much neglected and ignored by the Muslims as it is today. There is a saying of the Holy Prophet to the effect: "A time will come upon my people when there will remain nothing of Islam but its name and of the Quran but its words (Baihaqi, Shu‘abul-Iman). The present indeed is that time.
The emphasis on the word "this" in the expression "this Quran" is full of pathos. The Holy Prophet is represented here as saying that his people have discarded such a blessed book as this Quran in which there is light and guidance for them and which is God’s greatest boon for mankind and which has been revealed to raise them to the highest pinnacles of moral and spiritual eminence.
