The Virtue of Reciting the Qur'an and the Warning Against Neglecting It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is completing the recitation of the Qur'an a fundamental requirement so that a Muslim is not considered to be neglecting it? And is one who only recites Surat al-Kahf every Friday considered to be neglecting the Qur'an?
Answer:
A Muslim should recite the Qur'an frequently, for it is the life of his heart, the speech of his Lord, a motivator for righteous deeds, and a deterrent from evil deeds. A Muslim cannot do without the Qur'an and its recitation, nor without increasing that recitation. Neglecting the Qur'an means abandoning its recitation. At the very least, he should complete a recitation of it every month; this is the minimum. Or every ten nights, or every seven, or every three. This is what is recommended for the Muslim. Yes.
