In this booklet, I have given you an idea of the duties which we as Muslims owe to the Qur'an. In the end, I must urge you with all the emphasis at my command to make an earnesj effort to discharge these duties with utmost care. We are the most fortunate people in the world in the sense that we possess the Book of Allah (SW) perfectly intact in its original form. Whereas it is a cause of great honor for us, it also lays upon us a heavy responsibility. Prior to the advent of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Israelites were the custodians of Allah's Book, but when they did not discharge their responsibilities and proved unworthy of the honor conferred upon them, Almighty Allah (SVVT) raised a new Ummah (i.e., the Muslims) and vouchsafed His Guidance to them in the form of the Qur'an. In Surah Al-Jumu'ah we have a similitude of the people who did not fulfill the duties that devolved upon them as custodians of Allah's Book.

The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligation of) Torah, but who subsequently failed in this (obligation) is that of a donkey which carries huge volumes ... (Al-Jurnu'ah 625)

In the subsequent part of the ayah, it has been plainly stated that their failure to discharge their obligations towards their Holy Book is tantamount to their denying its truth:

... How bad is the similitude of people who deny the ayaat of Allah .... (Al-Jumu 'ah 625)

The ayah ends in the categorical declaration that it is not in Allah's nature to grant guidance to such people:

... and Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers. (Al-Jumu'ah 625)

God forbid that you or I be included among the people who are guilty of denying and rejecting the Book of Allah (SVVT) by their negligence in the discharge of their obligations towards it and thus incur Allah's wrath. I most earnestly pray that Allah (SVVT) may make us custodians of the Qur'an in the real sense of the term, and enable us to fulfill our duties towards it in the best way, which may enable us to win His good pleasure.
