Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it true that it is a matter of etiquette with the Qur'an not to recite from the end of the Qur'an in the first rak'ah of the prayer, and to recite from the beginning in the second? Is this statement correct?

Answer:
Yes, this is not appropriate. It is not appropriate to reverse the order of the surahs; rather, the surahs should be arranged in order. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Subh in the first rak'ah and al-Ghashiyah in the second; he did not reverse them. If you recite a surah, you recite what comes after it, either directly or not. As for reversing them, this is disliked and contrary to the mushaf whose arrangement the Companions agreed upon. Yes.
