The questioner : Noble Shaykh, some people recite the Qur'an in the mosque and say between the pauses, between the verses: "Allah, Allah" or "May Allah open the door for you, my uncle" or phrases like these. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh : The ruling on this is that it is one of the denounced religious innovations, because reciting the Qur'an is a form of worship, among the best of worships. A letter in it is a good deed, and a good deed is rewarded ten times over. It is not a game, so that one might say, whenever he finishes a verse and his voice is beautiful, "Allah, Allah," meaning he is expressing surprise. This is one of the innovations introduced by those who introduced it among the people. Yes. If a person passes through a verse of warning, let him seek refuge in Allah. If he passes through a verse of promise, let him ask for it. If he passes through a verse of glorification, let him glorify. If he passes through a verse of wonder, let him express wonder and say "Allahu Akbar." As for "Allah, Allah" or, for example, "Oh, what a wonder, oh, what a wonder," this is an innovation. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
