The Effect of Reciting the Verse of the Throne Along with Committing Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Sometimes the presence of the Throne, and after he has committed some of the sins of the sinner.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Sometimes I recite the Verse of the Throne, and afterwards I commit some sins. So how is it, or what is the devil’s aim from a general source?
The Shaykh:
It means that you did not recite it with the presence of the heart and did not act upon what you recited. So, everyone who recites the Verse of the Throne is protected from the devil. One may recite it, kick it aside, and recite it in the most beautiful manner with a good voice, but the devil remains with him because he did not act upon it. However, the one who recites it with presence of heart and acts in accordance with its implications is the one whom the devil does not recite over. Otherwise, one may recite the Qur'an without acting upon it and without it going beyond his throat, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “It does not go beyond their throats.” So, everyone who recites the Qur'an obtains the benefits of the Qur'an. The one who obtains its benefits is the one who acts upon it, believes in it, and reflects upon it. This is the one who benefits and obtains these great benefits. Yes. I mean, mere recitation is not sufficient. Recitation with reflection, recitation with belief, recitation with presence of heart. Yes.
