The ruling on reciting a verse that does not stand alone in meaning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That is sufficient. Let the scholars be described, may Allah increase him in reward, that he recites to the people a single verse from Surat al-Rahman, such as saying: "This, O my Ummah?"
Answer:
The scholars have stated that it is not sufficient to recite a verse that does not stand alone in meaning. If the verse stands alone in meaning, there is no harm. However, if the verse does not stand alone in meaning, such as "Mudhammatan" (dark waves), it does not stand alone in meaning because there is a verse before it related to it: "Below them are two gardens. Which of the favors of your Lord will you deny? Mudhammatan." This description belongs to the two gardens. So if he brings the description and leaves out the described thing, the meaning is not complete. They also mentioned the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Then He looked." If one were to stop at this, it would not be connected to a meaning, as it is linked to what comes before it.
As for when the verse stands alone in meaning, there is no harm in limiting oneself to it, especially if it is a long verse, such as the Verse of the Throne or the Verse of Debt. If it is a long verse and one limits oneself to it, there is no harm, and it stands alone in meaning.
