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
