The Descent of the Angels During the Recitation of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes, with this noble verse. 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah be pleased with him) concluded his sermon with it. This is a fine report. 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah be pleased with him) is the one who completed the Rightly Guided Caliphs.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you and benefit through you. One of the brothers asks Shaykh Salih: Do the angels descend when a person reads alone for Allah the Exalted in the depths of the night? Is that considered a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), as happened to one of the Companions when the horses ran wild?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the angels descend for the recitation of the Qur'an. That is why the horses ran wild, because they saw the angels and became frightened. They descend when the Qur'an is recited to listen to the remembrance. This is part of the exaltation of the Noble Qur'an, and it is evidence of the virtue of reciting the Qur'an. Yes.
