The Entire Qur'an is the Remembrance of Allah and mentioning thePunishment of Those Who turn away from It

Allah, the Exalted, is saying to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, `We have told you (O Muhammad) the story of Musa and what happened with him, Fir`awn and his armies, just as it actually happened. Likewise, We relate to you the information of the past just as it happened, without any increase or decrease. We also gave you a remembrance from Us, the Mighty Qur'an, no falsehood comes to it from before it or behind it.' It is a revelation from One Most Wise, Most Praiseworthy. No Prophet was given any Book like it or more complete than it, since the time of the previous Prophets who were sent, until their being sealed off with the coming of Muhammad ﷺ. No Prophet was given any Book containing as much information than the Qur'an about what has past and what would be. The judgement concerning the distinction between mankind is taken from it. Therefore, Allah says about it,

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ

(Whoever turns away from it,) This means whoever denies it and turns away from following its commands and instructions, while seeking guidance from other than it, then Allah will mislead him and send him on the path to Hell. This is why Allah says,

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ وِزْراً

(Whoever turns away from it, verily, they will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection.) .Burden here means sin. This is as Allah says,

وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الاٌّحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ

(But those of the sects that reject it , the Fire will be their promised meeting place.) 11:17 This applies generally to whoever the Qur'an reaches of the Arabs, the non-Arabs, the People of the Book and others. This is as Allah says,

لاٌّنذِرَكُمْ بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ

(That I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach.) 6:19 The Qur'an is a final warning for everyone it reaches. Whoever follows it, then he is rightly guided and whoever opposes it and turns away from it, then he is misguided. He will be wretched in this life, and he is promised that on the Day of Resurrection his abode will be the Hellfire. For this reason Allah says,

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ وِزْراً خَـلِدِينَ فِيهِ

(Whoever turns away from it, verily, they will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection. They will abide in that.) 20:100-101 They will not be able to avoid this or escape it.

وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ حِمْلاً

(And evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection.)

Всевышний напомнил Пророку Мухаммаду, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, о Своей милости по отношению к нему, которая проявляется в том, что ему открываются знания о давно минувших событиях. Одним из таких откровений стала эта славная история, в которой содержится много мудрых положений. Ее правдивость не отрицают даже люди Писания. Ты никогда не изучал историю прежних народов и не обучался у книжников, и, несмотря на это, твои знания полностью соответствуют сохранившимся у них правдивым повествованиям. Воистину, это свидетельствует о том, что ты действительно являешься посланником Аллаха, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, и что принесенное тобой учение является сущей правдой. Ниспосланный тебе Священный Коран представляет собой щедрый и бесценный дар. В нем содержатся знания о прежних и будущих народах и откровения, благодаря которым люди могут поминать совершенные имена и качества Аллаха и всегда помнить о религиозных предписаниях, запретах и воздаянии. Человеческий разум и подсознание свидетельствуют о красоте и совершенстве коранических предписаний, а Коран не перестает напоминать людям о заключенном в нем знании. Он был назиданием для посланника Аллаха, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, и остается назиданием для его последователей. А это значит, что каждый мусульманин обязан покориться коранической истине, повиноваться ниспосланным в Писании повелениям, почитать его надлежащим образом, обучаться ему, обучать других и следовать прямым путем, который освещается светом этого откровения. Если же человек отворачивается от него или даже отказывается уверовать в него, то тем самым он отвергает величайшую из Божьих милостей и обрекает себя на заслуженное наказание. Вот почему далее Всевышний сказал:

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

مَّنْ أَعْرَ‌ضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِزْرً‌ا (Whoever turns away from it shall certainly bear a heavy burden on the Doomsday - 20:100) Turning aside from the Qur'an can take different forms: not paying proper attention and respect when it is being recited; showing scant desire to learn to read it or to comprehend its meaning, or reading it incorrectly without regard to correct pronunciation etc.; reading it without full concentration; reading it not to win God's goodwill but to attain worldly rewards such as wealth and fame. Likewise not striving to comprehend the laws laid down by the Qur'an or, having understood them, not complying with them or acting in their defiance are extreme forms of disregard for the Qur'an. Any neglect of the rights and claims of the Qur'an is a great sin and the guilty person will bear it on his head on the Day of Judgment in the shape of a heavy load. It has been related in several traditions that the evil deeds and the sins which a person has committed in his life time will be placed on his head in the shape of a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection.
