Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the methodology of the Salaf in learning and teaching the Qur'an? And what is your guidance for those in charge of the Qur'an memorization circles?
Answer:
You are not acting in the manner of the Salaf in learning and teaching the Qur'an. The Salaf said, "We did not move past ten verses until we learned their meanings and acted upon them." He said, "So we learned both knowledge and action." You only memorize the verses and do not learn the tafsir (exegesis) and action; Allah knows best about that. But your memorization of the Qur'an is good, even if it is not like the memorization of the Salaf. Your memorization is good, and it is hoped, if Allah wills, that it will encourage you to act upon it and to reflect on the Qur'an, even in the future. Yes.
