Best of you

24. "The best of that which you treat yourself with is cupping." [Hâkim, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

The Purpose of Reading the Qur'aan is to Contemplate and Apply it

 


Question:

If one reads the Qur'aan well - all praise is due to Allaah - is it better for him to recite often or should he listen to famous reciters on audio cassette, for example?
Answer:

What is better for him is to do what is better for his heart and what will have more effect on it. Because the purpose of recitation is to reflect and understand the meanings of the Qur'aan and to act according to what Allaah Almighty has ordered in it, as He said:
ßöÊóÇÈñ ÃóäÒóáúäóÇåõ Åöáóíúßó ãõÈóÇÑóßñ áøöíóÏøóÈøóÑõæÇ ÂíóÇÊöåö æóáöíóÊóÐóßøóÑó ÃõæúáõæÇ ÇáúÃóáúÈóÇÈö

(This is) a Book(the Qur'ân) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember. [Sad 38:29] He also said:

Åöäøó åóÜÐóÇ ÇáúÞõÑúÂäó íöåúÏöí áöáøóÊöí åöíó ÃóÞúæóãõ

Verily, this Qur'ân guides to that which is most just and right [Al-Isra 17:9]

and:

Þõáú åõæó áöáøóÐöíäó ÂãóäõæÇ åõÏðì æóÔöÝóÇÁ

Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. [Fussilat 41:44]
