Hartman the begin the beginner Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman, Kathira
and lamb Dini, but they all Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh I welcome you all to our
fourth session in our short series, discussing the morals manners and etiquettes with the book of
Allah subhanho wa Taala in the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of Al Quran. Now in our last
session, we discussed a few etiquettes and one of the last etiquettes we discussed was that
pertaining to a towel with an Bismillah and we managed to cover a towel with which is to say oh the
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:52
			bIllahi min ash shaytaan regime. And as a brief recap, we said that it is from the good manners to
do so Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions it in his book. In fact, some of the Allameh have actually
stated that it is obligatory and why Jeep although others have said that it is Mr. Hub and we
summarized the discussion by stating that there are manifest benefits in reciting that I would why
because when we do so it is an actual invocation seeking refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala from
Shavon the outcast and there are benefits in doing so because remember the universal rule which
states that Shavon if he cannot prevent you from worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala then he will do
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:35
			everything to affect the quality of your worship. So doing so does assist one in being tranquil when
reciting the Quran. Assist one in pondering and deliberating over the manifest lessons in the book
of Allah or Buddha is it he will JOANNE Hello Hello kahar. Today Inshallah, we will start off with
the Bismillah and Bismillah once again, refers to saying Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem. And in regards
to Bismillah Anis robiola, who and the rates that one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was amongst them, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was taking a nap. And then he raised
his head, and he smiled. And the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu asked him asked the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:35 --> 00:03:17
			alayhi wa sallam about why he was smiling, and he answered, saying that a chapter was revealed to me
earlier, and he then recited Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim in Finacle Kapha. So the point of interest
in this particular hadith is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Bismillahi Rahmani
Raheem before commencing with the recitation of a surah. Thus, teaching us or before the recitation
of the Quran, generally, this teaching us that it is Mr. hab and recommended and sunnah to actually
recite the best manner and that it is from the good manners with the book of Allah subhanho wa
taala. Now, there is another point that we should discuss after discussing the Tao within the bus
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:56
			manner, because that is something that he said at the beginning of our recitation. But there's
something that we hear today that is recited at the end of a recitation, and that is the statement
sada Kola, hula Avi right many recite, recite the Quran and at the end they say Sadhak Allah who
love him, which means Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth. Now, what is the ruling on this? Is
this from the good manners with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala? Well, what we do know is that
this was not a practice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam nor the Sahaba, because we do not
have any innovations that attribute this practice to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:41
			there are some or lemma who stayed the permissibility of doing so. And they cite as evidence the
95th verse of Surah Al Imran, which Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Call sadaqa Allah, for that Allah,
Allah subhanho wa Taala say, say, Allah has spoken the truth. So they cite this verse as evidence
denoting the permissibility of doing so. However, if we contemplate and deliberate over this
particular verse, we find that it is not real evidence in actually teaching us the permissibility of
saying sadaqa Allah who will have him as a continuous practice after reciting the book of Allah
subhanho wa taala. Now why is that? If this verse also the Kola actually denoted the permissibility
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:59
			of saying it at the end of every recitation, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have done
so and the Sahaba Radi Allahu Anhu Ultramarine would have done so as well after him. So we learned
from this that this verse is not sufficient to prove the permissibility of saying Salah kala hula
beam after every recitation does
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:33
			As Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best we should leave out reciting this particular statement and it
is not from the etiquettes and manners with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. To do so. However,
if somebody, for example, recites a verse in the book of Allah subhanho wa taala, and they ponder
over the meaning, and that meaning Subhanallah really means something to them in terms of something
that happened in their life, right? And they ponder and understand this meaning and out of all, from
the understanding of this meaning they say, so that Allah who allow them,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:11
			if they do so, then this is fine. Why this is not a continuous practice. This is done spontaneously
and in fact, we have an incident at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, where he
stated that one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was giving a speech and Hassan and
Hussein the two grandchildren of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came along, so the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came down from the member, the pulpit where he was speaking to
everybody. And he picked them up and put them in front of him. And then he said, Indeed, Allah has
spoken the truth meaning sada Allahu Allah, Allah in your wealth, and your children are only a
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:50
			trial. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam related, the incident of these grandchildren
coming along, and that which he felt to a verse in the Quran, and thus said it spontaneously, not as
a practice, an everyday practice or a practice that is done every time with recitation of the Quran.
So if somebody does it spontaneously, it's fine. But if we feel that it is from the practices with
the book of Allah subhanho wa taala, then this is not a practice and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows
best I mean, in general, we should make it a policy to always practice that which was taught to us
by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and that followed by the pious predecessors before us, and
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:36
			Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah Knows Best with that we are able to cover yet another etiquette. And
the next etiquette I want to discuss with you all, is the policy of reciting the Quran in a hurried
manner, reciting it in a extremely rushed fashion. Is this from the etiquettes of the Quran? Well,
I'm sure we all have an answer to this in our minds, and that is that it is not in fact, it is from
the bad manners. What Allah subhanho wa Taala is book to recite the Quran very fast in a haste to
fashion. Now we do know this first and foremost from other lessons that we have taken for we've said
that from the good manners is to contemplate and deliberate how are we able to do so if we recite
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:32
			the Quran in a hurried fashion? Allah subhanho wa Taala in Surah Al Muzammil says and recite the
Quran in a clear and slow style whare T lil Khurana 13. recite the Quran in a clear and slow manner.
Now 13 refers to making very clear and distinguishable every letter and word in the Quran and this
was explained by Ibn Abbas, Radi Allahu Anhu. So, this is a very important point. Now, when we
recite the Quran, in a hurried manner, it is impossible to make every letter clear, it is impossible
to recite every word clearly, right? So we're not giving the true rights to the letters found in the
book of Allah subhanho wa taala. However, we can do so if we recite the Quran in a composed manner,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			in a manner that allows us to
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:53
			ponder and deliberate over the verses in the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. And in fact, by doing
so, in a slower manner, allows for us to earn greater rewards. And we all want to build our agenda
and earn Jannah in the first place. So we can do so by being
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:22
			productive with the Quran in terms of reciting it in a glorified manner, reciting it slowly and
attentively. Now, even miss Ruth was asked how to read a certain letter in the Quran. And he was
asked, Should I read it as an Elif? Or a Yeah. And this was in the verse, me man in Haiti as him,
right. This is the first in the Quran. So someone came to you and Mr. Reagan said, Should I read it
as rare? As in? Or Hawaii? Yes.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:29
			That's what he asked even Mossad so even Mr. Wood said, and the entire Quran you have read other
than this meaning
		
00:09:30 --> 00:10:00
			is there anywhere else in the Quran, where you recite a verse and doubt how it should be recited.
So, even reproached him in this particular manner. So he said, I normally recite alafasy, meaning
this person answered, even worse odorata Allah one and said, I normally recite those chapters
between between Surah path and the end of the Quran. And he said that I do so in one unit of prayer.
Right? I do so in one unit of prayer, so even Massoud responded to him and said
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:46
			Read. This is like the quick hurried reading of poetry. Verily there are people who recite the
Quran. There are people who recite the Quran, but it does not pass the collarbones. However, if it
enters the heart and becomes firm then it benefits the reciting Subhan Allah Allah, what wise words
words that can be written with golden ink Subhanallah wise words and this is should be our policy
with the Quran. Let me say to you again, verily, there are people who recite the Quran, but it does
not pass their collarbones. However, if it enters the heart and becomes firm there in it benefits
that is it may Allah subhanahu atta Allah bless us and make us from amongst those that have the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:20
			ability to recite the Quran in a manner that after reciting it, it becomes firm ly placed in our
hearts and I will Hamza said even at best, I am indeed quick in my recitation. Verily, I read the
entire Quran in three days. Even Abbas Ravi, Allah who replied and said, for me to read Al Baqarah
in one night, but to contemplate over it and recite it clearly and slowly is more beloved than to
recite the recitation that you have described Subhanallah and in another narration,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:12:08
			it states that if there is no way except for you to do so, as you say, then read it with recitation
in which your ears and your heart can comprehend that recited Subhanallah these are pertinent and
comprehensive advices from the pious before us. And we really need to ensure that when we recite the
Quran, then at least we can hear the words that we are reciting. And this is true, we might have
attended some masajid whereby, during the Torah we we entered the masjid and leave the masjid and we
don't even know one word that was recited by the Imam and this is a problem. So we need to ensure
that we advise one another towards goodness and piety and if I just one another towards reciting the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:18
			Quran, in a benevolent manner, and with that, it is time for us to take a break and inshallah I'll
see you on another side of the break. Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
