Saying "True is Allah, the Exalted" upon finishing the recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about saying "Subhan Allah al-Azim" (Glory be to Allah the Great) upon finishing the recitation of the Qur'an, and it is mentioned in the noble verse
Say, "Allah has told the truthقل صدق الله
[Ali 'Imran 3:95]


Answer:
It is not the case that when the reciter finishes reading, he says, "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty." This is not among the rulings of recitation, and what people have become accustomed to has come to be treated as if it were a recommended practice (sunnah). As for His saying, Exalted and Majestic is He,
Say, "Allah has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abrahamقُلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ فَاتَّبِعُوا مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:95]
, this is true, and Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is truthful in His saying,
and who is more truthful than Allah in statement.وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ قِيلًا
[An-Nisa 4:122]
. However, the issue lies in reciting this verse or saying "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" every time one finishes reciting and adhering to that; there is no basis for this. Yes.
