Question Jazaakumu
Allahu khairan for your supplement about Ramadan, the Month of the Qur'an.
Alhamdulillah, we shared it in our tajweed class this morning. A
few questions came up: 1.
If someone has difficulty still in reading the Qur'an and, for example, reads
some letters with wrong articulation so that it sounds like another letter or
makes mistakes in the timing, should they still try and read as much Qur'an as
they can during the month for reward and worship or would that not be a good
idea for them until they can read better? One suggestion was that they
could read along with a tape. 2.
If someone is trying to read the whole Qur'an during the month but is slow in
reading so that they are struggling to get it "all in" before Eid
so they skip the surahs that they read during their salah from memory or
read on a weekly basis such as surah Al Kahf on Fridays when they reach them
in their reading. Is that still considered reading the "whole"
Qur'an? Ramadan mubaarak to you.
Answer Wa iyyakum wa al-muslimeen, and Ramadhan mubaarak to you and all the Muslims. May Allah accept our fasting and righteous deeds, increase our faith, and grant all khair for the Muslim nation. May
Allah reward you and the tajweed class for being so eager to achieve the
highest amount of reward in this blessed month.
May we point out that surah Al-Kahf is mostly in the 15th juz’, and since Ramadhan started on a Friday, the reading of juz’ 15 (if reading one juz’ a day) will coincide with a Friday. We start our day at Maghreb, meaning the first of Ramadhan starts at Maghreb of the night before we start our fast, so if Friday day is the first of Ramadhan, the eager student may try to complete surah Al-Kahf on Thursday night, then spend the day Friday starting on the khatmah. May Allah make your class’s desires and goals a reality, and make easy for them the recitation of the Qur’an as it was revealed to our beloved Prophet, . |
