Question (26 Safar 1425/Apr. 16, 2004)

Assalamu'alaykum,

There are at least two readers whom I know of who read mad jaiz munfassil as two harakat, namely, Sheikh Muhammad Jibreel and Sheikh Mahmood Khaleel al Husary (Sheikh Husary has also recorded his reading, with Mad Jaiz Munfassil as four).

I think it is a good idea if you put in a PDF format the conditions of reading Mad Jaiz
Munfassil in two harakat ie the way of Hafs an Asim by the tariq of At Tayyibah for downloading and easy reference. Are there really a lot of conditions?

jazakAllahu khairan for your effort.

Assalamu'alaykum.

When I was reading the part of Mad 'Aarid Lissokoon, I did not find the various ways of reading this particular Mad in your site or most probably I missed it.
I have read that if the last letter is fathah, there are 3 ways to read it, namely 2,4 or 6 harakaat.
If it is, kasrah, there are 4 ways to read it, namely 2,4,6 or 2 harakat with raum.
If it is dhommah, there are 7 ways to read it, 2,4,6, or 2,4,6 with raum or 6 with ishmam.
Is this information correct in the way of As Shatibi? Please give me the correct information. And can you find any qari who reads Mad Aarid Lissokoon with 2 harakaat (raum) and ishmam?

JazakAllahu khairan

Assalamu Aleikum

I was reading through question 09040402 concerning how qurraa get their
rhythm such as sheikh Al Husary. You wrote that in his book, the sheikh warned
about those who lengthen more than it is prescribed such as adding or
subtracting a vowel in order to embellish the recitation. My questions are:

1. Would you please give us a specific and well detailed example of adding
and subtracting a vowel more than it is prescribed in the recitation?
Therefore, we (those who are learning to improve their recitation) will not attempt to
make the same mistake involuntarily.

2. Do you or did you know of any reciter who would add or subtract more in
order to embellish his/her recitation?  If yes what are their names?

Ma salam

Assalamu Aleikum

I have a question regarding Muslim students who have memorized the entire
Qur’an:
Are the students introduced to an audience and then congratulated? Is there
any ceremony organized? Do they (the students) have to recite the entire book
by stage in front of qualified professors of the Qur’an?
May Allah help you inshallah.

Question (19 Safar 1425/Apr. 9, 2004)

Assaalamu'alaykum,

I read your brief history of Sheikh Mahmood al Husary with deep interest.
How do the qurra get their rhythm? I've listened to many qurra, but until now I have yet to find someone who can really intone Al Quran like Sheikh Husary does.
JazakAllahu khairan.

Question (19 Safar 1425/Apr. 9, 2004)

Assalumualikum
I need to know two things.
The first one is that when we stop between an aayah like a long aaya, our breath if broken I have been told that we would make the last letter with vowel into a sukoon (when stopping) . If this is correct what type of waqf is this called. And if we stop on it then do we have to join it with the letter preceding when reading further or we say that yes we have converted it into a sukoon so start from next word?
Second in the last para (juz’ 30) there are many verses in which there is a waqf and then the next word starts with a 'wow mushaddadah'. If we stop at waqf  then either we could repeat the last word and join it with the 'wow mushaddadah' or we could read it without joining it with wow mushaddadah.(i.e. we are reading only one wow in this case)? The third option would be not to stop at waqf and continue reading in one breath which I know is correct. One verse for example is 'surah inshqaq aayah 8,9 and11, 12'.
JazakAllah

Question (18 Safar 1425/Apr. 8, 2004)

Assalaamu Alaikum wrwb,

You said "Knowledge of tajweed is fardh kifayaah, meaning some of the Muslim community must know it, and its application is fardh 'ain, required by all Muslims (men and women) who have the complete Qur'an or part of it memorized, even if only one surah." Where are you getting this hukm from? I have read replies from other scholars saying that the hukm of Tajwid is emphasized sunnah. I will be very grateful.
Jazak Allahu Khair.

Question (10 Safar 1425/Mar. 31, 2004)

What is the definition of sakinah? I know when there is jazm on it or when we stop on stop on some letter and drop its vowel but considering huroof mad in Quran there are words like there is wow with nothing on it no vowel or jazm and preceding it is a letter with dhamma or written on top of it is a letter with dhamma so is this huroof mad then?
I know alif is not huroof madd when it has jazm because it is then hamza pronounced with jerk
Jazakallah

Question (3 Safar 1425/Mar.24, 2004)

Assalamu Aleikum

1. I would like to know how many authentic ways of recitation, from the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to our Umma of today, have been transmitted? Are they 7 or 10?

In surat Al Hijr, verse 87 when Allah the Almighty says "And indeed We have bestowed upon you the seven of Al-Mathâni and the Grand Qur'ân" He is referring to the 7 ways of recitation or something else?

 2. I have seen sheikhs crying while reciting the Qur'ân, therefore, I would like to know whether the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to cry sometimes while reading the Qur'ân to his community.
