00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			cinema Nico rahmatullah wa
barakato Hamdulillah we are
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:09
			covering a chapter some of the
sections of this with the Noble
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			Quran which is Shefali illusory is
GitHub and book that
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:20
			is published in sha Allah. So when
he speaking about the etiquette of
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			reading the Quran number nine was
he says that while reciting one
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			should abstain from anything that
violates or diminishes the
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			sanctity of the Quran, so while
we're sitting, we don't want to do
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			anything that violates that, that
just is inappropriate for that.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			Whether that be laughing around, a
fooling around joking around with
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			somebody while we're reading
Quran, it just doesn't look good,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			because the Quran is something to
be serious and solemn about,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			probably a state of melancholy,
right? So you don't want to fool
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			around and you don't want to start
speaking to others without without
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			necessity and likewise checking
your phone every once in a while
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			or something like that. He says
doing so constitutes a lack of
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			respect for the Quran for if one
were to interrupt his conversation
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			with someone to speak to someone
else of Allah, like let's just say
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			that I'm speaking to you and then
in the middle, I just kind of turn
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			to somebody else and start talking
to them, you're going to be
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			feeling left out. Now Allah is
never going to feel left out but
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			it's still bad what we're doing is
the impression is very, very, very
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			bad.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			Also contiguity while reciting the
Quran is part of the beauty and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			splendor of the Quran to do it can
you know to do it in a continuum,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			right, which is lost when such
contiguity is interrupted? Such an
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			interim interruption takes away
from the beauty of the Quran,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			which is why it is considered
reprehensible if there is a need
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to speak okay, you know, such as
if the recital gets confused and
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			forgets the ending of the verse
that he's reciting if Israel
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			reciting by heart, for example,
then there's no harm in asking
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			someone near to them write about
that. Similar similarly, if the
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			reciter intends to stop at a
specific word, but does not know
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			if it's permissible stop at that
word, or they want to ask a
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			meaning of that word, do not
understand what it means or
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			something, then of course, that's
all related and that's fine. Okay,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			that's all related. That's fine.
So, that was number nine, number
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			10. He says, If one yarns are
sometimes you know, shaytaan
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			brings on a yarn okay. It is
recommended. And you know, you
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			help the shaytaan to bring on a
yarn by being tired and not
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			sleeping enough sometimes. Right?
He says it is recommended to stop
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			reciting because one is speaking
to the Lord and yearning us from
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			the shaytaan. So you don't want to
be reading Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			Alameen. And then you know, you
start yawning in the with your
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			reading, you want us to stop
because and try to cover yourself,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			no.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			Which I had the great
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			commentator of the Quran early on,
he said, If you yawn while reading
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			the Quran, you should stop
reciting out of reverence for the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			Quran until the yawn ceases.
Likewise, if one sneezes while
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			reciting it is recommended to say
Alhamdulillah because that's
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			remembering Allah. So you can even
when you yawn, you can say hola,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			hola, hola, quote, the level of
stuff and say that Hola, hola,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			illa Billah, which is the dua for
you know, after Yan. And likewise,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			if you cease use Alhamdulillah,
and then, you know, your hammock,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			Allah to somebody else, and so on.
So all of that you can do while
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			you're reading if somebody if that
happened in front of you.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			Number 11, it is preferred to
recite the Quran in order this is
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			a very, very important point. For
example, if one completes certain
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			Nahal, then it is recommended to
to recite Surah Israa after it
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			right, usually try to maintain the
order of the Quran in your
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			recitation unless you've got a
very specific reason to do
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			otherwise. Okay.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			One should definitely do this,
whether or not they're offering
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			prayer, this is because there is
wisdom in the arrangement of the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			text of the Quran. So one should
maintain that order when reciting
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			it.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			Now, where is there an exception?
There isn't it there are some
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			exceptions to this is where the
sacred law stipulates otherwise,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:11
			for example, in the morning prayer
on Friday, right? When should
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			recite sort of the such
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			as you know, the Prophet saw some
used to recite Surah to such that
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			in the first record, and then
many, many, many Jews down he used
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			to read in the second record, so
little in son, and there's no
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			continuum between them because he
missed out all of those sorrows in
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			between. But there's a specific
reason for that. And that's why he
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			did that. So that's fine. If the
Sharia tells you to do something
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			like that, well, we put our hands
up. And that's it. In the Eid
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			prayer, one should recite Surah
Surah to cough in the First
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			Circuit and further comma in the
second record. Now nowadays, that
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			would be a bit too much. I think
I've never seen anybody do that.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			Because relatively long that would
be right. Well salted Isla in the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			first and sort of the Russia in
the second. A lot of people do
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			that. That's the shorter version.
Right. So behind the first one,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			had a Durga had eternal Russia in
the second one
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			If one goes against of the Quran
and recites a chapter that does
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			not follow the one before it,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			right? So you you recite a chapter
and you recite one before it
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			or recites a chapter and follows
it up with a chapter that precedes
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			it. It is permissible. I mean,
that's not haram right? It is
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			permissible, but it just goes
against the best practice. It's
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			not a sub optimal. It's not best
practice. That's all
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			it's reported from Amara, the
Allahu anhu, that he recited Surah
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:33
			Al gaff in the First Circuit in
the fajr prayer mashallah sorbitol
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			gaff, imagine how long that was?
Listen to at least 15 minutes in
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			the first record at least, and
Surah use of in the second that's
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:45
			another 15 minutes, at least. The
promise of the loathsome recited
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Surah Nisa
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			in the first record of a prayer
while recite Surah Ali Imran, in
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			the second, he's going backwards,
certainly comes after Saudi Arabia
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:00
			Imran, but he did this to show
that it's permissible to do so. So
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			it is fine. But it's not the usual
habit, and it's not the usual
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			recommendation. Now, this, of
course, applies to whole chapters,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			like whole Soros only, that would
be fine because they're self
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			contained. It's okay, if he did
one from here, and then you did
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			one before it. That could be
tolerable. It is not permissible,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			though, to recite verses within a
chapter out of their proper order
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			decimal. So you're jumping. Right?
Or you're reading from here and
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			then you're reading from some
verses before that have the same
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:32
			chapter? That would not be right.
Okay. He says that you can refer
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			back to chapter seven. We've
already mentioned this point in
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			more detail, right? We've not
covered that, but it's there. It's
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			in more detail there. Okay, number
12. Right, reciting the Quran from
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			a moose half.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			This is interesting, a physical
copy of the Quran should you do it
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			by heart? Or should you do it from
a must have he saying that recite
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			the Quran reciting the Quran from
a must have is superior than
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			reciting from memory. Why is that?
Well, because looking at the text
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			of the Quran in itself is an act
of worship as well you get reward
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			for looking at the Quran. In this
way, one attains the virtue of
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			both reciting and looking. It's
reported that the prophets of
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			Allah some said, give your eyes
their share of the worship,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			indulge everything in your
worship. The companion is asked
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			what is their share of worship? He
replied, looking at the most half
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			reflecting on his contents, and
taking heat from its wonders, Imam
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			Bay, hotkey, and others have
related this.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			And it's been confirmed that many
of the companions preferred
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			reciting the Quran from almost
half and would dislike letting a
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41
			day pass by without having looked
at one SubhanAllah. So you know,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			you may read some Quran every day
in Sadat. But if you don't
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			actually look at it, most haven't
read something from it. Of course,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			if you're trying to memorize the
NUS different Imam quote, we said
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			the benefits of reciting from
memory is that it strengthens
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			one's memorization, which is more
in inducing to reflecting on it.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			The benefits of resave robust have
though is that it helps to confirm
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			that one has not made a mistake by
adding or omitting a letter, or by
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			putting a verse in the wrong
place. A Busara the alone used to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			say I am ashamed if I do not look
at the covenant of my Lord at
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			least once a day.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			So there's benefits in reciting in
by memory as well because it helps
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			you to memorize and of course,
standard is that you look at the
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			Quran.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			Okay, number 13. If one recites
from the middle of a chapter, it
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			is best to start at the beginning
of a story. So you know, when you
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			start in the middle of a surah,
somewhere, don't just start at any
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:43
			verse, especially for those people
of us who don't understand it, try
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:48
			to start from the beginning of the
story. And for the Indo Pak Quran
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			that we have, which we have the
ruku those are very useful for
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			people who don't understand
because then they can start from
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			there, because that's the start of
a new theme. Otherwise, if you see
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			that there's a new discussion of a
profit coming up or something like
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			that, start from there. Try not to
just start from any verse
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			whatsoever, or stop at any verse
for that matter.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			Start somewhere
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:16
			and stop somewhere where it's the
end of a theme and of a cluster of
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			verses and have some kind of
context or chapter. Okay?
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			Now, in this book, he actually
gives you common places where
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			people make mistake where they
keep stopping, and one of them he
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			says is don't stop at the end of
the fourth juice and not carry on
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			at one MOS anatomia nisab because
those two verses are very, very
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			deeply connected. Right and don't
start reading the fixtures at one
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			more Senate start from hurry
metallicum In the previous chapter
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			for or start from where lemmya
started at minimum Dolan, right,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			for example, so he gives you a lot
of these suggestions there.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			And finally,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			he gives you suggestions of what
to set particular places in point
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			14 He said
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			is the final verse of Surah 218
Elisa Allahu be Ackerman, Heike
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:08
			mean, we it's recommended to say
Bella while another 30 Coming
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			Ushahidi of course, because Allah
says here is Allah not the fairest
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			of judges. So then we say of
course he is. And I am a witness
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:21
			to that. At the end of selection
Kiana is strictly recommended to
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			say but who are al Qadir, who are
called her? Of course he is
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			definitely able. He is definitely
able, at the end of sorter monk
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:34
			it's recommended to say Allah Who
Rockwood I mean, Allah is the Lord
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:39
			of the worlds and when reciting
Surah Rahman every time you every
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:44
			time somebody recites for B A ye
your B coma to get Viva which then
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			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
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			mentioned that in listening right
as well. We do not deny any of
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			your blessings our Lord All praise
belongs to Allah. And then after
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			reciting for the Hadith in Bury
the who you may know and sortal
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:08
			more Salat verse 50 is recommended
to say amen to Biller, I believe
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			in Allah and when you recite sub
behest Mara because either
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			once you say three times Subhan
Allah beer Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:22
			Subhan Allah Bill Allah Glory be
to my Lord, the Most High. And
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:27
			then when reciting for El Hamra
half or jewel Raha double
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			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
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			one Mola, which means Allah give
our souls their piety. Because you
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			know that verses about Allah
subhanho wa Taala saying that
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			Allah has inspired every soul with
its good and bad, right with the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54
			piety and righteousness and with
the evil so we are then making dua
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			Oh Allah give our souls their
piety, purify them, you are the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			best one to purify them. You are
their guardian and their master.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			Okay. And then he says when
reciting what called Rob busy then
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:10
			he or Elma Musa alayhis salam
stories mentioned that he made
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:14
			this statement he made this dua
verse 114 of surah Taha say Rob
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:19
			bisate, near Alma, Lord increased
me in in my knowledge, and at the
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23
			end of Surah Baqarah, where we
have the DUA funds, sadhana I will
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			call mill caffine and CME
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			por la accept. So, these are some
of the interactions that he
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			suggests that you can have with
the Quran you can check the book
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			out page 99 And page 100. He
discusses all of these there. May
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us
to observe these etiquette of
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			reading the Quran. And may Allah
subhanho wa Taala accept it from
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			us and take us high and illuminate
us and elevate us through the
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			Quran. Allah says that 100
Nairobi, la Alameen Assalamu
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56

The point of a lecture is to
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			learning seriously to read books
to take on that subject of Islam
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			and to understand all the subjects
of Islam at least at the basic
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			level, so that we can become more
aware of what our deen wants from
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			us. And that's why we started our
Rayyan courses. So that you can
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			actually take organize lectures on
demand whenever you have free
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:29
			time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			have on that is some essential
certificate which you take 20
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:37
			Short modules and at the end of
that inshallah you will have
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:42
			gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			behind you can continue to live,
you know to listen to lectures,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as local
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

had to live record
