The Meaning of Tartil and Whether It Is Specific to the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, is tartil specific to the Noble Qur'an and its verses? Do the adhan, iqamah, dhikr, and reading books fall under this? And is this permissible?
Answer:
Tartil is specific to the Qur'an, and it is of two types: tartil in its revelation, and tartil in its recitation. By "We revealed it in a tartil," it means that Allah revealed it in portions and stars over a period of twenty-three years. This is tartil in its descent. Tartil in its recitation is as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to His Messenger:[Al-Muzzammil 73:4] Tartil in recitation means pausing at the ends of verses, and lengthening what deserves lengthening. The prescribed lengthening is natural, not forced lengthening, nor lengthening that exceeds what is needed. It also means reflecting on the Qur'an, reflecting on what one recites and contemplating its meanings, and being humble in heart and eyes by weeping, if one is able. Yes.
