Here is an explanation of Quran 25:30 by different mufassireen (commentators), based on the search results:

Verse 25:30 in Arabic:

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورٗا
“And the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord, indeed my people took this Qur’an as [a thing] abandoned.'” (Sahih International)

Tafsir (Exegesis) by Different Scholars:

1. Abul Ala Maududi

Maududi explains that the word “mahjoor” (abandoned) can have multiple meanings:

  • The disbelievers did not regard the Qur’an as worthy of consideration—they neither accepted nor followed it.
  • They treated it as nonsense or the “delirium of insanity.”
  • They ridiculed and mocked it.
    This verse reflects the Prophet’s (pbuh) lament over his people’s rejection of divine guidance .

2. Ibn Kathir

Ibn Kathir elaborates that the verse describes the Prophet’s complaint to Allah about his people’s abandonment of the Qur’an. This abandonment includes:

  • Not listening to it (as they would make noise to drown out its recitation, as mentioned in 41:26).
  • Not pondering its meanings or trying to understand it.
  • Not acting upon its commandments or heeding its prohibitions.
  • Turning away from it in favor of poetry, songs, or idle talk.
    He also notes that every prophet faced enemies among the criminals, but Allah suffices as a Guide and Helper .

3. Kashif Khan (Linguistic Analysis)

Khan provides a word-by-word breakdown:

  • “Al-Rasool” (the Messenger) refers to the “sent message,” not necessarily the Prophet (pbuh) alone.
  • “Qawmi” (my people) is often mistranslated as “my nation”; it more accurately means “natives” or “local people.”
  • “Mahjoor” derives from hijr (to abandon, forsake, or displace), implying the Qur’an was actively rejected, not just ignored.
    He argues that traditional translations misrepresent the verse’s context, which is about the message being forsaken, not just the Prophet’s personal grievance .

4. Tanwîr al-Miqbâs (Ibn Abbas)

The verse is interpreted as the Prophet (pbuh) lamenting that his people:

  • Spoke ill of the Qur’an.
  • Did not believe in it.
  • Refused to act upon its teachings .

5. Al-Jalalayn

The Messenger (Muhammad, pbuh) says: “O my Lord, my people (Quraysh) consider this Qur’an as something to be shunned”—i.e., disregarded entirely .

Key Themes in the Explanations:

  1. Rejection of the Qur’an: The disbelievers dismissed it as false, irrelevant, or absurd.
  2. Active Opposition: They not only ignored it but also mocked and disrupted its recitation.
  3. Prophet’s Distress: The verse highlights the Prophet’s sorrow over their rejection, emphasizing his role as a warner.
  4. Universal Struggle: Like past prophets, Muhammad (pbuh) faced enemies, but Allah remains the ultimate Guide .
