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.
