Mufti Menk – A Beautiful Way To Recite The Qur’an

			My brothers and sisters at times when we are going through difficulty, I'm sure you and I have
tasted how listening to the Koran reciting the Quran actually helps so much. It brings us to tears,
especially when we're emotional when we're feeling low. And we hear the verses of Allah subhanho wa
Taala those from amongst us who know the meanings directly of the verses, because we know the Arabic
language, Mashallah the sweetness is far different. But those who don't know the meaning still, they
do receive and achieve from that sweetness a great amount. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about
these tears and he praises the tears, the tears of those who cry when they hear the verses of Allah.
		

			Imagine you're in a crisis. Imagine you're going through hardship and difficulty. And then Allah
subhanho wa Taala his verses bring about a comfort, a soothing feeling. And this is why my brothers
and sisters if you look at the recitation of the Quran, it is not singing nor is it mere speech. But
it is a recital between singing and just speaking somewhere in the middle. It is a beautiful
melodious recitation, different people recite with different tones, and each person is impacted by a
unique tone. That's why we all have our favorite reciters. When they read, it impacts upon us in a
different way. Sometimes we have more than one favorite recital, and sometimes depending on our
		

			mood, different reciters impact upon us with their tunes. It's important for us to also read in a
beautiful melodious tune. It is the word of Allah, He tells us to try our best to recite it in the
most correct, melodious, beautiful way. And insha Allah on the Day of Judgment, he will invite us to
read again, especially those who have endeavored to memorize a portion of the Koran. May Allah
accept it from us.
