The questioner : Which is better: reciting the Qur'an from the mushaf in Ramadan, or attempting to repeat surahs from it for the purpose of memorization?
The Shaykh : It is preferable to read the entire Qur'an from the mushaf and to maintain what one has memorized by heart so that one does not forget it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is because reading the entire Qur'an is beneficial for a person, as he passes through all the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and benefits from the rulings and reports contained in its verses. This benefit is missed if one restricts oneself to specific surahs that one has memorized by heart. However, if one consistently recites the specific surahs that one has memorized by heart, one benefits from them by further securing their memorization.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But this benefit is not missed if one is diligent with these memorized surahs and reads them at another time, because the memorized surahs can be read by a person whether in his home, in the mosque, or in any place.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so it is preferable to maintain reading the entire Qur'an and then add to that by paying attention to what one has memorized by heart.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This message came from the citizen M M M from Hawtat Bani Tamim. He says in it: What is the address of "Nur 'ala al-Darb" (Light on the Path)? We want to ask or send some messages for information, but we did not know the address.
The address of the program is: Saudi Broadcasting, Riyadh, "Nur 'ala al-Darb" (Light on the Path).
