Three Inheritors of the Qur’an

THE INHERITANCE OF THE QUR’AN IS OF THREE KINDS OF MUSLIMS. BismilLah.

ALLAH says in Qur’an 35:32
ثُمَّ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنۡهُمۡ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مُّقۡتَصِدٌ وَمِنۡهُمۡ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

ALLAH caused to inherit the Book those ALLAH have chosen of HIS servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself [i.e., sins], and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of ALLAH. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty.

From the above verse, we noticed that Muslims are divided into three types.’ ALLAH says:

فَمِنْهُمْ ظَـلِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ
(Then of them are some who wrong themselves,) these are the ones who are careless about doing some obligatory actions and who commit some forbidden actions.

وَمِنْهُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌ
(and of them are some who follow a middle course,) these are the ones who fulfill their obligations and avoid things that are forbidden, but they may neglect some good deeds and do some things which are disliked.

وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَتِ بِإِذُنِ اللَّهِ
(and of them are some who are, by ALLAH’S leave, foremost in good deeds.) these are the ones who do obligatory actions and things which are encouraged, and who avoid doing unlawful and disliked actions, and avoid some actions which are permissible.
