Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that when a person finishes reading the Qur'an, he says "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty," while others say that this phrase is not to be said. What is the stronger position in this matter?

Answer:
What is the stronger position? What is the truth in this matter? If the one who says that he should say "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" brings evidence, and if he brings evidence that does not contradict, then if he brings evidence, he is mistaken. There is no evidence that after one reads from the Qur'an, he says "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty." Bring us evidence. There is no evidence. We do not innovate anything on our own, nor do we imitate those who do this without evidence. Yes, Allah is truthful (Exalted and Majestic is He). Who is more truthful than Allah? It was said:
Say, "Allah has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abrahamقُلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ فَاتَّبِعُوا مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:95]
Allah is truthful. But specifying this in this situation without evidence is the beginning.
