00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.019
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:15.300
Contemplation (tadabbur) and mindful remembrance (tadhakkur) manifest the blessings of the Qur'an.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:19.300
In the preceding verse, the Qur'an was likewise described as being blessed,

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:27.300
after which contemplation and mindful remembrance were mentioned using the particle of causation (lām al-ta'līl): "that they may contemplate" and "that they may be mindful."

00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:33.299
This indicates that contemplation and mindful remembrance are the means and cause for attaining the Qur'an's blessing;

00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:38.299
that is, the blessing of the Qur'an is attained through contemplating and reflecting upon it.

00:00:38.299 --> 00:00:42.299
This is because blessing (barakah) signifies increase and growth,

00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:50.429
which is realized through contemplation, as it unfolds the manifold meanings of the Qur'an and broadens its guidance.

00:00:50.429 --> 00:00:56.429
The verse also generally indicates that contemplating the Qur'an is among the most virtuous of deeds,

00:00:56.429 --> 00:01:01.429
and that it is of a higher rank than recitation devoid of contemplation.

00:01:01.429 --> 00:01:06.099
