This is not the meaning of “treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.

This is not the meaning of “treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.” It means that the Holy Prophet’s (S) people kept the Holy Quran, but at the same time they treated it as a forsaken thing and they sidelined it, in the sense that the Holy Quran would still be recited and respected in society, but its teachings would not implemented and its rule would be prevented under the pretext of separating religion from politics.

If Islam and the Holy Quran were supposed to be kept apart from government, then what was the purpose of the Holy Prophet’s (S) battles? If the Holy Prophet (S) believed that Islam should not interfere in government, in managing the affairs of the people and in political power in society, if he believed that personal faith in Islam was sufficient and that people could practice religious rituals in their homes, he would not have taken the trouble of carrying out all those battles.

The Holy Prophet (S) made those efforts for political power and for putting the Holy Quran in charge. When the Holy Quran is forsaken, it means that it exists in name only and does not have political power. In the world of Islam, the Ayah “surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing” is true of all the places where the Holy Quran is not in charge. [^2] According to the Holy Quran, hadith and Islamic Urf, the era of Be’that is in contrast with the era of Jahiliyya.

These terms have been used in the Holy Quran and Islamic narrations. Similarly, in Islamic Urf, the Islamic era is contrasted with the era of Jahiliyya. Of course, there are certain boundaries and rules set these two eras apart. What are these rules? There are a few rules that separate the Islamic era from the era of Jahiliyya and these essential rules are the same as Islamic values.

Pure Monotheism The primary rule is pure monotheism, which means refusing to serve anything or anybody other than God. This is pure monotheism. Monotheism did not just mean that people had to stop worshipping their idols. It has a broad meaning. After all, the idols in Mecca would not exist forever. The idols that were made from wood and stone would not exist forever. The true meaning and the essence of monotheism is rejection of serving anything or anybody other than God.

It means refusing to bow to anything or anybody other than God. This is the true meaning of complete and pure servitude to God.
