Is confining oneself to reading a quarter or two quarters of the Quran daily, with contemplation and reflection, considered abandoning the Quran, given that there is another regular portion of memorization, revision, and a recitation circle, and what is required to attain the virtues of Surat Al-Baqarah?

The answer

Restricting oneself to the daily reading mentioned is not considered abandoning the Quran. However, completing a full recitation (khatm) monthly or every forty days is preferable. It is disliked to delay a full recitation for more than forty days to avoid forgetting the Quran and becoming negligent towards it, except if there is a valid excuse. Abandoning the Quran encompasses various types, including abandoning listening to it, abandoning acting upon it, abandoning seeking its judgment, abandoning reflecting upon it, and abandoning seeking healing through it.
