What is the guidance of the Prophet when reciting the Noble Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first issue in this episode is asked by one of the female listeners. She says: A religious woman, our sister, began by saying: I love you in Allah, His Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz, and I pray for you at all times, especially during the times of prayer. I hope you will inform me about a state that comes over me while I recite the Noble Qur'an, especially when I pass through verses of mercy and forgiveness, and verses of warning and intimidation regarding the punishment and severity of Allah. I repeat these verses with the same feeling. Is there any guidance? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: I say first: May Allah love you for the love you have for me, and I ask Him, the Exalted, to accept your supplication, to employ us all in His obedience, and to protect us from the evil of our own souls and from the evil of our deeds.
As for your question about the humility and fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) that comes over you when passing through verses of mercy or verses of punishment, this indicates great good. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was praying the late-night prayer, if he passed through a verse of mercy, he would stop at it and ask, and if he passed through a verse of punishment, he would stop at it and seek refuge, and if he passed through a verse containing glorification, he would glorify. This is how Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to do this in his late-night prayer. So praise Allah for this and thank Him, and this indicates the submission of the heart and its desire for good, and praise be to Allah. There is no blame on you for this, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: So this is the guidance that His Eminence the Shaykh sees?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
