Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:
0:09
Contemplation (tadabbur) and mindful remembrance (tadhakkur) manifest the blessings of the Qur'an.
0:15
In the preceding verse, the Qur'an was likewise described as being blessed,
0:19
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."
0:27
This indicates that contemplation and mindful remembrance are the means and cause for attaining the Qur'an's blessing;
0:33
that is, the blessing of the Qur'an is attained through contemplating and reflecting upon it.
0:38
This is because blessing (barakah) signifies increase and growth,
0:42
which is realized through contemplation, as it unfolds the manifold meanings of the Qur'an and broadens its guidance.
0:50
The verse also generally indicates that contemplating the Qur'an is among the most virtuous of deeds,
0:56
and that it is of a higher rank than recitation devoid of contemplation.
