Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Which is better, reciting the Qur'an or the dhikr, meaning the remembrance of Allah in general, through tasbih and tahmid?
Answer:
The dhikr that is restricted to a specific time is better than reciting the Qur'an, because reciting the Qur'an does not have a fixed time; you recite the Qur'an always, at all times. But the dhikr that is specified for after the prayer, or for the daily portion, or this, is better than reciting the Qur'an, because reciting the Qur'an is not missed, whereas this dhikr is missed if you leave it in its time. Yes.
