Question (29 Ramadhaan 1424/Nov. 24, 2003)  

Assalamu Aleikum

 I have a few questions regarding the Tajweed Schools.

 1. I am amazed that there are many children who memorized or have memorized the Qur'an sometimes before the age of ten or fifteen. Would you please give me a detailed schedule that some of these schools offer the children to help them memorize the Qu'ran? In other words, do the children have specific surahs they have to learn?

 2. When a Qari reads a verse of the Qur'an (in front of an audience or not), what is the correct posture, he/she should adopt while reading (without any exaggeration)? 

3. Finally, among all the Qaris that I have been listening to so far, I have noticed that they have all a very nice voice, although different from one another. Therefore, do Tajweed schools teach how to beautify the voice when reading? If not, how should one improve one's voice when reading the Qur'an?
May Allah help you in finding the answers inshallah

Ma Salam

May Allah reward us inshallah.
I have a question regarding a supplication (Du'a). I would like to know if you have the following Du'a that starts as follows:
"Allahumma dina fiman hadait..." (Oh Allah guide me among those whom you have guided.."
If you do have it, would you please write down the entire Du'a in Arabic with English translation so that each and every Muslim can learn it (if they have not) in those last days of Ramadan? 
May Allah help you find it inshallah

Question (27 Ramadhaan 1424/Nov. 22, 2003)

Assalam alaikoum,

Dear brother or sister.

I would love to learn the art of reading the Qur'an. I am not a native Arab. So I suppose it will be a long process. Is there a school here in New York ?    

I am so serious about it that I won't even exclude the possibility to obtain a scholarship and really learn the art. I am talking about being able to read like Bassit or imam Soudais. And it is not a joke.

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

Insha Allah, Antum bi khayrilllah.

I’m am very happy to see that people are very interested in trying to recite the Qur'an with proper pronunciation to limit their errors; it is a very noble pursuit.

My question; I have been studying tajweed for many years and I have a query regarding other parts of the face and not of the mouth.
I have found many people reciting Qur'an with very good tajweed however they are uncontrollably moving their eye brows ( i.e. the muscles above the eyes) is this a error in the recitation and only the mouth parts should move and not other parts of the face?   

Many Sheikhs have said this is a mistake in Qiraah while others have said that it is permissible.  I would like your opinion on this or even proofs of either way being correct.
Wassalamualaikum warahmatullah.

I was going over your notes for the secondary attributes which is the one under characteristics of sifaat and you only put 6 with out opposites.. but rather there are 10 secondary attributes.. you are missing the following ones.. ghunnah, qalqalah, madd, mutasilah.  From my knowledge these are the ones missing. If for any reason if you think they are not part of the secondary attributes, please kindly let me know why.

Question (14 Ramadhaan 1424/Nov. 9, 2003)

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh,

I have a question that is not related to tajweed but is more related to the manners of reading the Qur'an.

There is a common practice in some places that a group of people will divide 30 juz' among themselves to be read (esp. in Ramadhan). When everybody finished, they will gather and read together from surah AdDhuha till the end which they call it majlis khitm AlQuran. Is this allowed? I've tried to ask from the other websites but resulted in waiting lists.

 JazakumuLlah in advance.

Question (11 Ramadhaan 1424/Nov. 6, 2003)

Assalamu Aleikum

May Allah reward you for your explanation regarding Hamzah al Wasl. I have a few questions I would like to ask.

1. In the Qur'an, there are letters that resemble a Hamzah al Wasl, but instead of having a small letter "Sad", they have a round shape (a little similar to the letter "o" of the English alphabet) for example in Surat 49 (Al-Hujuraat) verse 15 after " . Would you please tell me the name of this Hamzah (if it is one) and what is its role in the reading of the Qur'an (as far as stopping for instance)?

2. In surat 18 (Al-Kahf) verse 87, there is a (sort of) comma appearing after .  What is its name and does it (the comma) have a particular role in the recitation?  

May Allah help you and give you his Baraka and Grace inshallah

Question (8 Ramadhaan 1424/Nov. 3, 2003)

Salam aliekum wa rahamatuallah dear brother in Islam. May take this opportunity to wish you ramadan karim and may Allah reward you for this wonderful site inshallah.

My question is simple really; is there a limit to how much Qur’an can be read? it would just settle a family dispute, whereby some members of the family take to reading the Qur’an many, many times, esp. during Ramadan ....over 5 or 6 possibly double that number. Isn’t that too many? 

The basis for me is that I thought that I read a hadith in which the Prophet (saw) instructed one not to read the whole Qur’an in less than a week. The reasoning I thought was if it was read in any less time, one would be reading it too fast to be able to ponder over the verses. Is this totally wrong?

I apologize if I am repeating a similar question and jazakahallah kheir for your anticipated wisdom.

salam aliekum

I have a question that I hope you can answer for me.  Do you have to wear a hijab when reciting or reading Qur'an, and do you have to have wudu?  Personally I believe we should do both, but when I'm asked why I can't explain.

Question (2 Ramadhaan 1424/Oct. 28, 2003)

Assalamou Aleikum,

May Allah have mercy on you and may He facilitate this month of Ramadan for each and every Muslim inshallah.

I have few questions concerning the Hamzah al Wasl. I read lesson 3, but I still need your help in how to read when starting a Ayat with the Hamzah al-Wasl. For example:

1. In surat 17, verse 48  Since the third letter has a dhammah on it, should we read "Unthur kaifa.." or otherwise?

2. When starting a surat with a Hamzah al Wasl, should we pay attention to the third letter in order to know how the Hamzah al wasl will be read?

3. I do not understand the part C of lesson 3, when 2 Hamzah are next to each other. http://www.abouttajweed.com/hamzah_al-wasl_3.htm.  Would you please help me know what is the rule to adopt when two Hamzah are next to each other?

4. Since Ramadan has started, is it good to listen the recitation of the entire Qu'ran on audio cassette (for example, recitation by Sheikh Al Husary or Adbul Basit) and read along as they recite?

May Allah reward you and help you find the answers of those questions inshallah.

Ma Salam
