What is meant by "people of Qur`an"?
Question
What is meant by "people of Qur`an"? Who are the people of God mentioned in the Prophetic hadith? Are they limited to those who memorize Qur`an and follow its rules? Can the designation be extended to those who read it regularly and follow its rules but are unable to memorize it?
Answer
God’s grace is infinite. Ahl al-Qur`an (People of Qur`an) are those whose hearts and souls are deeply attached to the Qur`an. They are those who commit themselves to the Qur`an by striving to memorize and recite it during the night and parts of the day and follow its guidance.
