* * *The Qur'an could curse a person as that person is reading it * The Hadith says: "It may be that someone recites the Qur'an while the Qur'an is cursing him." The Prophet (peace be upon him) is citing a case of a person whose behaviour and dealings with people run contrary to the teachings of the Qur'an. Suppose this person is doing injustice, wronging his employees or his wife, yet he goes to the mosque for Fajr prayer and sits after the prayer to read the Qur'an. He may read a verse like the one ending with the sentence: "God's curse is on the wrongdoers." *(11: 18)* As he is engaged in wrongdoing, treating his wife or his employees unjustly, he is actually inviting God's curse upon himself as he reads this verse. His reading of the Qur'an is further evidence that condemns his action and brings him nearer to God's punishment.
