The Meaning of Abandoning the Qur'an and the Muslim's Position Regarding Its Recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
A listener to the program says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the recitation of the Qur'an, some people abandon the Qur'an after Ramadan and do not read it except when they go to the Friday prayer. What is the meaning of abandoning the Qur'an? And what is the Muslim's position regarding the recitation of the Book of Allah?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Abandoning the Qur'an has different types. Abandonment means leaving it off. Some abandon it by leaving off its recitation, some by leaving off acting upon it, and some by leaving off its contemplation. All of these are types of abandonment. What the questioner mentioned, that he limits his recitation of the Qur'an to the month of Ramadan, and then when Ramadan ends he becomes lazy about reciting except on Friday, is negligence and neglect. It is recommended for the Muslim, or rather it is emphasized, that he should set aside a daily portion of the Qur'an so that he completes it in a month, in seven days, in ten days, or in three days, whether in the night prayer or while sitting. He should not let a month pass without having completed a recitation of the entire Qur'an. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
May Allah greet you and bless you.
