The Shortcoming of Reciters and Listeners in Reciting the Qur'an and Reflecting on It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, “May peace and blessings be upon him, so they believed in it, except for what was altered. And the scribe for the future, or he prayed upon him, and he is the one upon whom peace and blessings are sent, and he brought out from Hind that judgment comes from their hearts, even if they were reciting it, they erred in their correctness, so you are the most deserving of the causes of that, is it due to the shortcoming of people's hearts, or does the lightning and the imam have a role in that?”
Answer:
I do not know. Both matters are a shortcoming: a shortcoming on the part of some reciters in reciting the Qur'an, a shortcoming on the part of the listeners as well in reflecting on the Qur'an, and a shortcoming on the part of everyone.
