Comparing the merit of dhikr and reciting the Qur'an between the adhan and the iqamah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Which is better between the adhan and the iqamah, dhikr or reciting the Qur'an?
Answer:
The better option is dhikr, or praying a voluntary prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 185Sahih (Darussalam) This means between the adhan and the iqamah, one should pray. If he sits and remembers Allah after praying two rak'ahs, he sits and remembers Allah by reciting the Qur'an, or by saying tasbih, or by saying tahlil and takbir, or by making du'a. All of it is good, but the Qur'an has another time for it, whereas the time for dhikr is missed if one does not do it. So one should occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and set aside another time for the Qur'an. Yes.
