Shadee Elmasry – 3. Studying Tajwid Reflects Iman

			The people of the Quran there are
the people of Allah and his elite,
		

			said the Prophet peace be upon him
the first layer of this deep
		

			association with the Quran is
correct pronunciation of the
		

			individual letters. So the first
level, I mean people, especially,
		

			you know, Westerners, and we're
very ambitious The first thing we
		

			want to get to his the secret
meanings of the Quran or the
		

			mystical allegories behind the
book well, we don't even know what
		

			it means. Forget what it means you
don't even know how to pronounce
		

			it. And the funniest thing is,
this is what thing What about
		

			academia that bothers me all these
Quran experts and at the moment
		

			that they finally utter an Arabic
word from the Quran, they
		

			absolutely butchered. It's a joke.
They actually have to avoid doing
		

			it. I've seen these Orientalist
professors. They have to avoid
		

			ever trying to recite the Quran if
there's a Muslim kid in the room
		

			that maybe has a little scruffy
beard a freshman or something
		

			who's clearly been to Sunday
school, or been to an Islamic
		

			school or actually believes in
Allah, that they can't recite
		

			Quran it's an embarrassing you
laugh, right, that you're you're
		

			philosophizing about the Quran,
you can't even pronounce it.
		

			Right. Which what does that show?
Does that show that you can't
		

			understand if you don't pronounce?
No, it doesn't show you could
		

			possibly understand a lot and not
be able to pronounce okay? Because
		

			certain things are the realm of
intellect and knowledge. Other
		

			things are the realm of rest of
your tongue unless it but it does
		

			show a lack of Occulus no
sincerity no class no Amen.
		

			Because if you spent all this time
trying to understand the Quran,
		

			and the Quran tells you what did
Khurana Terracina recite the Quran
		

			with a proper recitation. Okay, at
this point, you spend no time
		

			spending taking the effort to
learn how to recite the Quran
		

			properly. And unfortunately, some
may be innocently don't even
		

			realize that there is a science
and a proper way to recite every
		

			single letter. And to make every
single sound through your mouth
		

			has to be in a certain way. Okay,
for example, how to fold fat, the
		

			fat, it can be however you want to
pronounce it fat, no, the tip of
		

			the teeth has to touch the middle
of the bottom lip FET that's how
		

			it's done. It's not done any other
way. And these are small mistakes
		

			won't invalidate your prayer or
render yourself or your your
		

			recitation without any reward. But
it does separate those who put in
		

			an effort for Allah and those who
don't, those who care and those
		

			who don't. So Allah has made it
this way.
		

			So that we can express our concern
and that we can actually uniform
		

			you the recitation can be done
uniformly so that if you go to
		

			China fair is pronounced in the
same way as it is in Africa. So
		

			Argentina and Mexico, okay. So,
the wisdom behind why every letter
		

			is pronounced a certain way.
