Welcome to you brothers and sisters interested in

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

studying the Quran

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

As the prophet said, you are the people

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

of Allah

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

and the chosen people of Allah. If you

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

look around you and you see

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

what Muslims are engaged in, right,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

it's not the Quran.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

It's the TMZ culture,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

it's whatever is the latest argument and fight

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

and and subculture.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

Those used to be subcultures years ago.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

People who loved to argue and fight and

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

and wreck the community.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

Now let's become popular culture. And the subculture

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

is aro Quran, arohadiz,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

arofiq, arobalava,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05

arotosawuf,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

As the Prophet said

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

give good news to the strangers, who are

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

the strangers? Quran,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

Let's start now with our first rule

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

for functionally reading

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

the riwaayah of wash from Sayna Imam Nafi'i

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

Iskira'ah

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

through the Tariq of Azraq

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

as found

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

in of course the famous poem of Saidna,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

Imam

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

What should we start with? Let's start with

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

the right?

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

Right? The scholars used to say start with

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

what Allah starts with.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

And when we talk about the Basmala,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

there's some points that you need to be

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

aware of. Number 1,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

All of the Quran

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

agree that when you start your recitation of

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

the Quran

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

outside of Salah, of course

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

you observe the Basmala,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

even wash.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

So when you start the Quran outside, wajib.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

And also,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

When you read in

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

the

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

you have to read

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

Khalas,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

outside of salah.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

So

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

we start our recitation of the Quran

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

or or we're reading

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

and we're starting might read more than once,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

it's okay, but that that initial reading of

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

you have to read the Basmara.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

If also you finish

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

Or if

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

you read a chapter

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

and you go back to a chapter before

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

it,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

also in the of

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

you have to say

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

So that's easy. We start our reading,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

or if we finish a khatam and go

00:03:13 --> 00:03:13

back and start again,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

and if we go back to a chapter

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

before the chapter that we're reading,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

right, we say to the beginning of that

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

chapter

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

or anywhere.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

Now there are 2 important words when reading

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

the Quran

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

that applied to our understanding of Basmal and

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

this is gonna take us into the last

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

two points.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

The first

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

is called sucked.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

You see what I just did?

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

The stopping right here and not saying anything

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

and not breathing,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

that is called sucked.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53

Says,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

that the preferred way of saqd amongst the

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

people of the Quran is without taking a

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

breath. If you take a breath, it becomes

00:04:04 --> 00:04:04

waqf.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

So what that means is that the basmanah

00:04:10 --> 00:04:10

between

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

chapters,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

the preferred way in the way that I

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

am teaching you warash and nafir

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

through, of course, Azraq Bek Sidna Shaltavi,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

is to observe

00:04:22 --> 00:04:22

sucked without

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

the basmalah.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

Sucked bidun

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

basmalah.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

So that means I'm going to stop momentarily

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

between the chapters

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

and not take a breath and keep going.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

Let me give you an example.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

Notice, I said,

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

either Hassad

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

You heard that momentary

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

momentary stop that I observed?

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

Excuse me.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

That's called.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

So as long as I'm following the of

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

the Quran,

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

you know, the the order of the Quran,

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

and I come between chapters where there is

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

a basmalah, so

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

I'm going to observe Sukt.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:14

Of course,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

you're gonna observe sucked but you're not gonna

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

read Basmana anyways. But for every other chapter.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:21

Right?

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

And so on and so forth.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

So means that I'm going to stop momentarily

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

between the two chapters.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

If I'm reading them in the order of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

the Quran

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

without taking a breath and then move to

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

the next chapter.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

This is.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

This is the waj This

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

is the preferred way. So when we're reading

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

together, this is what I wanna see you

00:06:04 --> 00:06:04

observe.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

The second word that I need you to

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

know is alwasl. Alwasl means to connect like

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

hamza towasl.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:11

Almusra,

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

al ama are is like, you know, mass

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

transportation, public transportation.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

So alwasl means that I'm going to join

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

chapters together without the basmalah.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

So for example,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

Both of these are narrated as ways that

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

Sidna Imam Warsh

00:06:49 --> 00:06:49

recites

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

the of

00:06:52 --> 00:06:52

Sidna Nafeh,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

but the preferred way is a sat.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

Says,

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

right, that there is

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

and there is sucked

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

the gym is washed.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:10

So

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

we started with the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

we covered a few things. Number 1, when

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

I start my recitation of the Quran outside

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

of salah,

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

all the Quran

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

agree that I have to do

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

and the Basmala.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

Number 2 is with

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

the first option between 2 chapters

00:07:33 --> 00:07:33

is

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

and that is the preferred way.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

The second way is

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

meaning I'm gonna connect

00:08:00 --> 00:08:00

the last

00:08:01 --> 00:08:01

word

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

of the first chapter with the first word

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

of the next chapter.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

Alina Adif Lam.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

Alhamdulillah, it's very easy.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

And what we're going to be observing is
