Ismail Londt – Luqmah Introduction and Unspoken etiquette No. 1. For those leading Tarwh.

Smell as salaamu, alaykum, warhamat, Allah,

what is a lukma?

The literal meaning for the word lukma is a morsel, a small bite of

food,

and in the space of taraweeh, especially in South Africa,

lukma is in reference to

the word or phrase used

by the other hophal in guiding the hofal leading the Tarawa, when he

has made an error,

a lukma, they give lukma. Someone makes lukma a someone gives on if

the one leading taraweeh has made a mistake.

I don't know if it's used elsewhere in the world in this

context, and I do not know who was the first person to use it in this

context, but the word use indicates to something. Whoever is

to rectify the half the leading the Torah, we should not recite a

long peace, but should give him a small amount lokma. You should

give him a morsel, a small bite of what is required. There are some

unspoken etiquettes regarding giving lukma or making lukma

Number one,

only one person should be responsible for giving lukma.

If you are three files together or more, one should be designated to

give on, to electrify, to help, to assist the Hafiz, leading the

prayer in case he doubts or shifts to a mutasha biha a resembling

verse or makes an error. Two will confuse the Hafiz, and that's not

a morsel of information anymore. It's more than required,

and you you need bite sized amounts to take in, especially

under the pressure you are in front if too many people call out,

it may confuse you even more. Allah is the way ahead and accept

the offering. I mean.
