Sometimes I read the Qur'an and feel that my voice is good. Is this considered the kind of pride that invalidates the deed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You say: Sometimes I read the Qur'an and find that my voice is beautiful and my recitation is good. Is this considered the kind of pride that invalidates the deed?
The Shaykh : This is not the kind of pride that invalidates the deed. Rather, this is a blessing from Allah that a person rejoices in. Allah the Exalted grants him a beautiful voice and good performance, because some people may be deprived of this or that or both. Some people have a poor voice and poor performance, while others are strong in performance and have a beautiful voice. This is undoubtedly a blessing from Allah upon the servant. So let him thank Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for this, and let this not be a matter of pride if he sees that he is at this good level. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. We return to the message from the listener M A A. He says, O honorable Shaykh.
