30-1. The polytheists would make a lot of noise when the Quran was being recited so that the Quran could not be heard; this too is abandonment. Not believing in it and not acting upon it is also abandonment. Not reflecting upon it and not acting upon its commands and not avoiding its prohibitions is also abandonment. Similarly, to leave it and give preference to another book is also abandonment, meaning the forsaking and leaving of the Quran, against which, on the Day of Judgment, Allah’s Messenger will file a complaint in the court of Allah.
