Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Etiquette of the Qur’an Reciter Part 2

cinema Nico rahmatullah wa barakato Hamdulillah we are

covering a chapter some of the sections of this with the Noble

Quran which is Shefali illusory is GitHub and book that

is published in sha Allah. So when he speaking about the etiquette of

reading the Quran number nine was he says that while reciting one

should abstain from anything that violates or diminishes the

sanctity of the Quran, so while we're sitting, we don't want to do

anything that violates that, that just is inappropriate for that.

Whether that be laughing around, a fooling around joking around with

somebody while we're reading Quran, it just doesn't look good,

because the Quran is something to be serious and solemn about,

probably a state of melancholy, right? So you don't want to fool

around and you don't want to start speaking to others without without

necessity and likewise checking your phone every once in a while

or something like that. He says doing so constitutes a lack of

respect for the Quran for if one were to interrupt his conversation

with someone to speak to someone else of Allah, like let's just say

that I'm speaking to you and then in the middle, I just kind of turn

to somebody else and start talking to them, you're going to be

feeling left out. Now Allah is never going to feel left out but

it's still bad what we're doing is the impression is very, very, very

bad.

Also contiguity while reciting the Quran is part of the beauty and

splendor of the Quran to do it can you know to do it in a continuum,

right, which is lost when such contiguity is interrupted? Such an

interim interruption takes away from the beauty of the Quran,

which is why it is considered reprehensible if there is a need

to speak okay, you know, such as if the recital gets confused and

forgets the ending of the verse that he's reciting if Israel

reciting by heart, for example, then there's no harm in asking

someone near to them write about that. Similar similarly, if the

reciter intends to stop at a specific word, but does not know

if it's permissible stop at that word, or they want to ask a

meaning of that word, do not understand what it means or

something, then of course, that's all related and that's fine. Okay,

that's all related. That's fine. So, that was number nine, number

10. He says, If one yarns are sometimes you know, shaytaan

brings on a yarn okay. It is recommended. And you know, you

help the shaytaan to bring on a yarn by being tired and not

sleeping enough sometimes. Right? He says it is recommended to stop

reciting because one is speaking to the Lord and yearning us from

the shaytaan. So you don't want to be reading Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil

Alameen. And then you know, you start yawning in the with your

reading, you want us to stop because and try to cover yourself,

no.

Which I had the great

commentator of the Quran early on, he said, If you yawn while reading

the Quran, you should stop reciting out of reverence for the

Quran until the yawn ceases. Likewise, if one sneezes while

reciting it is recommended to say Alhamdulillah because that's

remembering Allah. So you can even when you yawn, you can say hola,

hola, hola, quote, the level of stuff and say that Hola, hola,

illa Billah, which is the dua for you know, after Yan. And likewise,

if you cease use Alhamdulillah, and then, you know, your hammock,

Allah to somebody else, and so on. So all of that you can do while

you're reading if somebody if that happened in front of you.

Number 11, it is preferred to recite the Quran in order this is

a very, very important point. For example, if one completes certain

Nahal, then it is recommended to to recite Surah Israa after it

right, usually try to maintain the order of the Quran in your

recitation unless you've got a very specific reason to do

otherwise. Okay.

One should definitely do this, whether or not they're offering

prayer, this is because there is wisdom in the arrangement of the

text of the Quran. So one should maintain that order when reciting

it.

Now, where is there an exception? There isn't it there are some

exceptions to this is where the sacred law stipulates otherwise,

for example, in the morning prayer on Friday, right? When should

recite sort of the such

as you know, the Prophet saw some used to recite Surah to such that

in the first record, and then many, many, many Jews down he used

to read in the second record, so little in son, and there's no

continuum between them because he missed out all of those sorrows in

between. But there's a specific reason for that. And that's why he

did that. So that's fine. If the Sharia tells you to do something

like that, well, we put our hands up. And that's it. In the Eid

prayer, one should recite Surah Surah to cough in the First

Circuit and further comma in the second record. Now nowadays, that

would be a bit too much. I think I've never seen anybody do that.

Because relatively long that would be right. Well salted Isla in the

first and sort of the Russia in the second. A lot of people do

that. That's the shorter version. Right. So behind the first one,

had a Durga had eternal Russia in the second one

If one goes against of the Quran and recites a chapter that does

not follow the one before it,

right? So you you recite a chapter and you recite one before it

or recites a chapter and follows it up with a chapter that precedes

it. It is permissible. I mean, that's not haram right? It is

permissible, but it just goes against the best practice. It's

not a sub optimal. It's not best practice. That's all

it's reported from Amara, the Allahu anhu, that he recited Surah

Al gaff in the First Circuit in the fajr prayer mashallah sorbitol

gaff, imagine how long that was? Listen to at least 15 minutes in

the first record at least, and Surah use of in the second that's

another 15 minutes, at least. The promise of the loathsome recited

Surah Nisa

in the first record of a prayer while recite Surah Ali Imran, in

the second, he's going backwards, certainly comes after Saudi Arabia

Imran, but he did this to show that it's permissible to do so. So

it is fine. But it's not the usual habit, and it's not the usual

recommendation. Now, this, of course, applies to whole chapters,

like whole Soros only, that would be fine because they're self

contained. It's okay, if he did one from here, and then you did

one before it. That could be tolerable. It is not permissible,

though, to recite verses within a chapter out of their proper order

decimal. So you're jumping. Right? Or you're reading from here and

then you're reading from some verses before that have the same

chapter? That would not be right. Okay. He says that you can refer

back to chapter seven. We've already mentioned this point in

more detail, right? We've not covered that, but it's there. It's

in more detail there. Okay, number 12. Right, reciting the Quran from

a moose half.

This is interesting, a physical copy of the Quran should you do it

by heart? Or should you do it from a must have he saying that recite

the Quran reciting the Quran from a must have is superior than

reciting from memory. Why is that? Well, because looking at the text

of the Quran in itself is an act of worship as well you get reward

for looking at the Quran. In this way, one attains the virtue of

both reciting and looking. It's reported that the prophets of

Allah some said, give your eyes their share of the worship,

indulge everything in your worship. The companion is asked

what is their share of worship? He replied, looking at the most half

reflecting on his contents, and taking heat from its wonders, Imam

Bay, hotkey, and others have related this.

And it's been confirmed that many of the companions preferred

reciting the Quran from almost half and would dislike letting a

day pass by without having looked at one SubhanAllah. So you know,

you may read some Quran every day in Sadat. But if you don't

actually look at it, most haven't read something from it. Of course,

if you're trying to memorize the NUS different Imam quote, we said

the benefits of reciting from memory is that it strengthens

one's memorization, which is more in inducing to reflecting on it.

The benefits of resave robust have though is that it helps to confirm

that one has not made a mistake by adding or omitting a letter, or by

putting a verse in the wrong place. A Busara the alone used to

say I am ashamed if I do not look at the covenant of my Lord at

least once a day.

So there's benefits in reciting in by memory as well because it helps

you to memorize and of course, standard is that you look at the

Quran.

Okay, number 13. If one recites from the middle of a chapter, it

is best to start at the beginning of a story. So you know, when you

start in the middle of a surah, somewhere, don't just start at any

verse, especially for those people of us who don't understand it, try

to start from the beginning of the story. And for the Indo Pak Quran

that we have, which we have the ruku those are very useful for

people who don't understand because then they can start from

there, because that's the start of a new theme. Otherwise, if you see

that there's a new discussion of a profit coming up or something like

that, start from there. Try not to just start from any verse

whatsoever, or stop at any verse for that matter.

Start somewhere

and stop somewhere where it's the end of a theme and of a cluster of

verses and have some kind of context or chapter. Okay?

Now, in this book, he actually gives you common places where

people make mistake where they keep stopping, and one of them he

says is don't stop at the end of the fourth juice and not carry on

at one MOS anatomia nisab because those two verses are very, very

deeply connected. Right and don't start reading the fixtures at one

more Senate start from hurry metallicum In the previous chapter

for or start from where lemmya started at minimum Dolan, right,

for example, so he gives you a lot of these suggestions there.

And finally,

he gives you suggestions of what to set particular places in point

14 He said

is the final verse of Surah 218 Elisa Allahu be Ackerman, Heike

mean, we it's recommended to say Bella while another 30 Coming

Ushahidi of course, because Allah says here is Allah not the fairest

of judges. So then we say of course he is. And I am a witness

to that. At the end of selection Kiana is strictly recommended to

say but who are al Qadir, who are called her? Of course he is

definitely able. He is definitely able, at the end of sorter monk

it's recommended to say Allah Who Rockwood I mean, Allah is the Lord

of the worlds and when reciting Surah Rahman every time you every

time somebody recites for B A ye your B coma to get Viva which then

of your Lord's blessings do you both deny one should say what are

be che manera Mika Rabina no Catholic for like Al Hamd. I've

mentioned that in listening right as well. We do not deny any of

your blessings our Lord All praise belongs to Allah. And then after

reciting for the Hadith in Bury the who you may know and sortal

more Salat verse 50 is recommended to say amen to Biller, I believe

in Allah and when you recite sub behest Mara because either

once you say three times Subhan Allah beer Allah Subhana Allah

Subhan Allah Bill Allah Glory be to my Lord, the Most High. And

then when reciting for El Hamra half or jewel Raha double

sword of shrimps verse eight, one should say Allahumma Atty. Nofal

Sena Taqwa was a key her and the hieromonk Zika and Dohany you have

one Mola, which means Allah give our souls their piety. Because you

know that verses about Allah subhanho wa Taala saying that

Allah has inspired every soul with its good and bad, right with the

piety and righteousness and with the evil so we are then making dua

Oh Allah give our souls their piety, purify them, you are the

best one to purify them. You are their guardian and their master.

Okay. And then he says when reciting what called Rob busy then

he or Elma Musa alayhis salam stories mentioned that he made

this statement he made this dua verse 114 of surah Taha say Rob

bisate, near Alma, Lord increased me in in my knowledge, and at the

end of Surah Baqarah, where we have the DUA funds, sadhana I will

call mill caffine and CME

por la accept. So, these are some of the interactions that he

suggests that you can have with the Quran you can check the book

out page 99 And page 100. He discusses all of these there. May

Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us to observe these etiquette of

reading the Quran. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept it from

us and take us high and illuminate us and elevate us through the

Quran. Allah says that 100 Nairobi, la Alameen Assalamu

alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatu. The point of a lecture is to

encourage people to act to get further an inspiration and

encouragement, persuasion. The next step is to actually start

learning seriously to read books to take on that subject of Islam

and to understand all the subjects of Islam at least at the basic

level, so that we can become more aware of what our deen wants from

us. And that's why we started our Rayyan courses. So that you can

actually take organize lectures on demand whenever you have free

time, especially for example, the Islamic essentials course that we

have on that is some essential certificate which you take 20

Short modules and at the end of that inshallah you will have

gotten the basics of most of the most important topics in Islam and

you'll feel a lot more confident. You don't have to leave lectures

behind you can continue to live, you know to listen to lectures,

but you need to have this more sustained study as well as local
