Citing Verses in Sermons and the Recitation of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
You have come to present the works of the rain.
The Shaykh:
A poor person.
The questioner:
Regarding the recitation of verses in sermons, and how it has become customary, or during the study of knowledge, and citing the Prophet, using the last verse of a lesson as evidence, and reciting the Qur'an with recitation, as you mentioned without...
The Shaykh:
This is something not known from the Salaf of this Ummah. Because bringing verses for citation is different from bringing them for recitation. Recitation is one thing, and citation is another. In the Friday sermon, in the sermon, and elsewhere, one cites them for evidence without recitation or elongation, as some people do. As for the recitation of the Qur'an, it does not mean the rules of tajwid as they think. Recitation means, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stop at the ends of verses and read a detailed, explanatory reading that the listener understands. This is the meaning of recitation. It is not the meaning of nasalization, idgham, and elongation. These are beautifications, beautifications only. If they occur, fine; if they do not occur, they do not harm. Also, if they occur, one should not exaggerate. One should not exaggerate with them. Rather, everything that exceeds its limit turns into its opposite. Yes.
