Matters That Help in Reflecting on the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What are the matters that help in reflecting on the Qur'an?
Answer:
One should recite the Qur'an with a pure intention, seeking the reward and recompense in its recitation. One should also choose appropriate times when the mind is free from distractions; one should not recite the Qur'an while his thoughts are confused.
Nor in a place that is disturbed by noise or chatter. He should choose a suitable place and a suitable time so that he can devote himself to the Qur'an.
The best time is the night,[Al-Muzzammil 73:6]. The night vigil, which is standing in prayer after sleep, is better for reflecting on the Qur'an, because the person has taken his rest and has no distractions. The night is quiet, so this is more conducive to reflecting on the Qur'an and being affected by it. Yes.
