Question
(29 Muharram
1423/Apr. 12, 2002) Assalam Alaikum: First of all, I want to thank you for this wonderful site. May Allah reward you. I have some simple questions concerning recitation and proper handling of Qur'an. First of all, I know it is haram to even touch Qur'an when in need of "ghusl", but must you have "wudu" (even for example to move it from one place to another)? Do these rules apply to Qur'an which also contains a translation in a foreign language? My small daughter is memorizing short surahs and likes to pretend she is reading from Qur'an when she recites them. She holds the Qur'an and follows letters with her finger, although she obviously doesn't follow accurately. Is there any problem with this? Must you have "ghusl" or or at least "wudu" to recite Qur'an "ghaib" without holding the actual book? (Can a woman in her menses recite Qur'an "ghaib" or at least parts of suras (i.e. to correct a child learning, etc.))? Is it obligatory for a woman to cover her hair when reciting aloud or just silently reading Qur'an? I have a daughter (age 10) who is currently learning tajweed (and therefore reads Qur'an better than I); I also have a daughter age 7 who, although doesn't know tajweed, pronounces the Arabic letters much better than I. They both are perfect in their performance of the salat. When we pray jamaa'ah in our home, is it permissible for them to be the imam? I read that it is permissible for a child to lead adults if they recite Qur'an better, and my children most enjoy the responsibility of being the imam, but people tell me this is haram. Thank you for answering
my many questions! Question (28 Muharram
1423/Apr. 11, 2002) Could you please mention some of the qualities of a reader of the Qur'an insha Allah? A while ago I saw a really nice hadeeth about that topic (I think it was the companion Ibn Masood, may Allah be pleased with him, who was saying it) and it would be very nice to be reminded of these if possible. This is not exactly a tajweed question so I apologize for that. Jazakumu
Allah bi kulli khair. Question (28 Muharram
1423/Apr. 11, 2002) Assalaamu
'Alaikum Ramatullah. I would be grateful if you would tell me about the level of the tidbit lessons on your website (i.e. basic, intermediate, advanced) and is it just sufficient to learn and apply all these lessons to one's tilawah if one is unable to access a teacher? Alhamdulillah I feel that my articulation/pronunciation of the Arabic letters is of a good standard (I'm also studying Arabic) and I listen to a lot of Qur'an audio (esp. of the Qaris Sa'ad Al-Ghamdi (rh) and 'Ali ibn Abdur-Rahman Al-Hudhaifi) but I am unable to access a good teacher to teach me tajweed, so can I just use books, your website and audio? and is tajweed about Qur'anic articulation/pronunciation, or is there more to it? Please explain. Sorry for the trouble and excessive questioning. Please forgive me and ask Allah (swt) to have mercy on me and forgive me. May Allah (swt) bless you, reward you immensely and give the highest of places in Jannah for helping a brother understand his (swt)'s deen better. JazakAllah Khairan. Wasalaam 'Alaikum wa
Rahmatullah Question (24 Muharram
1423/Apr. 7, 2002) What is the best way to understand
the meaning of what you read word for word? I am an American, know
the alphabets, and am just starting to read words, but still do not know what
they mean. Please
Help? Question (23 Muharram
1423/Apr. 6, 2002) Following my question
about the word:
Is the merging

Question (20 Muharram
1423/Apr. 3, 2002) Could you please explain
what a "good" start is ("ibtidaa hasan")? Does it
necessarily come after a "kaafi" stop or "taam" stop? or
at the beginning of an aayah? or is it the start we chose when stopping
on a "hasan" stop? All the stops are on a complete meaning
whether taam or kaafi or hasan; this is clear enough. But there is only
one kind of "good" start i.e. "hasan"; what does it
entail? May Allah reward you for all the time you spend on answering our
questions! Question (16 Muharram 1423/Mar.
30, 2002) Assalamalaikum. I am learning tajweed from a qualified teacher, but she has tajweed books only in Arabic and Urdu. Is there any tajweed book available in English? If so where can I get it in Saudi Arabia. Thank you. Question (15 Muharram 1423/Mar.

rahmatullah Question
(14 Muharram 1423/Mar.
28, 2002) Assalaamu
alaikum. We are living in the Gulf area and some of us have seen
a very interesting program about tajweed on the "Iqraa" chanel
(a famous sheikh, Sheikh Aiman as-Suwaid, may Allah protect him and
reward him, teaches the rules of tajweed). The problem is that
no one seems to know for sure when it is being shown exactly ( those
who have seen it just happened to see it, masha Allah!). Would you have
any idea about this program and when it is being shown in the Gulf area? Or
where I might be able to find out? Jazakumu Allahu khairan! Question
(13 Muharram 1423/Mar.
27, 2002) Assalamu
alaykum wa rahmatullah I
have seen two different ways of reading Verse 4 of Sura Al-Masad. One of them
puts a sign of obligatory stop (mim) over the word "wa-amra'tuh,"
while the other has no sign of stop at all. Could you please explain this
situation and, above all, how to translate in English the two possible
readings, considering that we have dhamma at the end of the phrase "wa'amra'tuhu"
and fat'ha on "hammalata" : 1.
"wa'mra'tuhu hammalata al-hatab [read without stop]
We
know that the signs fat-ha, dhamma, and kasra can change the meaning intended,
at least the grammatical formulation of the sentence. Question
(8 Muharram 1423/Mar.
22, 2002) Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. To be able to read "tafsir" (commentary) of the Holy Qur'an in Arabic is a great gift! My knowledge of Arabic is incomplete but I can manage with simple language and can use a dictionary ( I have the Hans Wehr dictionary: "A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic"). Would you know of such a "tafseer" that I could try to read? And would you recommend that someone should try and do that? May Allah reward you with a continuous reward! Question (7 Muharram 1423/Mar.
21, 2002) Assalamualaikum. Question (7 Muharram 1423/Mar.
21, 2002) Dear Tajweed Questions, Question
(4 Muharram 1423/Mar.
18, 2002) Bismillahi
Rahmaani Raheem. Asalaamu
Alaikum wa Rahmatulaahi wa barakatuhu. To recite the Qur’aan
in a melodious tone is commanded by Allah in surah al-Muzzamil, Alhamdullileh,
most of us try our best. We also know from hadith that singing the Qur'aan
is haram. Where do we draw the line between the two and how can I advise
my Muslim sister whom I think is singing her recitation (not following tajweed
rules). May Allah reward you Question (4 Muharram 1423/Mar. 18, 2002) In knowing the "sakat"
(i.e. a light stop without taking a breath) stops in reading the Holy
Qur'an in the Hafs 'an Aasim way, we learned that there are 6 altogether but
they are grouped in two groups: in one group are 4 of them and in the
other 2. What is the difference between them? It seems that they
are done exactly in the same way. Your clarifications and
explanations are much appreciated. May Allah reward you. Question (2 Muharram 1423/Mar. 16, 2002) Assalaamualaikum Question (2 Muharram 1423/Mar. 16, 2002) Asalaamu alaikum Question (1 Muharram 1423/Mar. 15, 2002) Assalaamu Alaikum, Question (1 Muharram 1423/Mar. 15, 2002) Assalaamu
alaikum. Could you please tell me when a tajweed teacher tells someone
that they have lahn (
