Question : What is meant by tragedies and the Qur'an? Is it exaggeration?
Answer : Reciting the Qur'an with melody means that some people said that the meaning of "reciting with melody" is to become self-sufficient with it and dispense with others, but this is not correct. The meaning of reciting the Qur'an with melody is to recite it aloud, as al-Hasan said. Yes, recitation with tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) undoubtedly beautifies the voice, but saying that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) is an error, and saying that it is obligatory is an error in our view, and Allah knows best. We hold that recitation with tajwid falls under the category of beautifying the voice with the Qur'an.
