What is meant by the inversion of the Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : The words of our dear brother regarding the issue of inversion, as if the only thing there is the report narrated by al-Tabarani from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when a man recited the Qur'an inverted, he said, "That is an inverted heart."
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
Al-Halabi : Some of the people of the sciences of the Qur'an and tajwid, and I mention among themThe Shaykh : 'Abd al-Fattah al-Qadi, in a book of his titled "The History of the Mushaf," says that inversion is not the advancing of surahs, but the advancing of verses within a surah.
The Shaykh : Just as Ibn 'Abbas used to recite poetry from bottom to top.
Al-Halabi : I mean, the intention is not that if one person recites a surah before another, we say to him, "Why did you do this, O Shaykh, and invert it..."
The Shaykh : And all of this is not hidden from you; if the report of Ibn Mas'ud is authentic, it is not correct. Yes, and then we have several hadiths that the Messenger of Allah did not arrange the surahs according to the order of the Mushaf; therefore, inversion... Ah.
The questioner : In the prayer?
Another questioner : But the place mentioned is in the issue of inversion or its absence.
The questioner : The Qur'an... but it came to my mind that I read according to the order of revelation.
The Shaykh : No, what came to your mind, you have no stuffing for the bowl that will come out in your hand, and then, without offense, you would have committed a bad sunnah. Why do you not like this order that the community accepted, and you want to bring an order from yourself that will not come out in your hand? Rest your mind; Allah has given you and relieved you, so stick to the order in which there is certain consensus. And the certain consensus that resembles this consensus is very rare, so be at ease.
Al-Halabi : The community accepted it all.
The Shaykh : All of it, absolutely, without doubt and without ambiguity.
The questioner : What appeared to me from my reading according to the order of revelation is that the Qur'an is similar, with no difference between its beginning and its end. If that is the case, then it is better to follow what the Muslims have followed, because even if you knew the order of revelation according to the dates, what is the benefit gained from reading it in this new way?
Al-Halabi : There is, O Shaykh, Saladin al-Munjid used to print a small treatise on the order of the revelation of the Qur'an by Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, so we do not know, meaning...?
The Shaykh : I have not looked into it, I have not seen it, but you, Professor, did you know this order?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : From which path?
The questioner : It is mentioned in some Mushafs that this surah was the first to be revealed, and it is al-'Alaq, and then such and such, and then such and such; this is found in the Mushafs.
The Shaykh : Well, is the surah "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak" and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind" Meccan or Medinan?
The questioner : I am not memorizing whether it is Meccan or Medinan.
The Shaykh : No, what is written in the Mushaf, is it not?
The questioner : Is it written in the Mushaf as Meccan or Medinan?
The Shaykh : I am asking about the Mushaf now?
The questioner : It is written that it was revealed after such and such a surah, after the surah al-'Alaq, after such and such a surah.
The Shaykh : I intended, may Allah bless you, that this written matter is not in the state of authenticity like the verses below it.
The questioner : When is the sunset?
The Shaykh : ...and it is not Ramadan, and therefore we do not care about monitoring now.
The questioner : You mean the sunset?
Another questioner : The sunset has definitely occurred.
The Shaykh : Break your fast, break your fast with a date or with water at least, come, in the name of Allah.
The questioner : It is supposed that he breaks his fast first, then gives the call to prayer.
The Shaykh : We do not have precise precision in this issue; whichever one he did is permissible.
The questioner : Is it permissible to remain fasting after the time?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
