Best of you

22. "The best of you is he from whom good is anticipated and safety from his evil is assured; the worst of you is he from whom nothing good is expected and one is not safe from his evil." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

19. Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (ra) narrated, “I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what saves me from Allah’s wrath, and he said, “Do not become angry.” (al-Tabarani and Ibn Abdul Barr) Ibn `Umar, Ibn Mas’ud, and Abu Darda’ (ra) relate similar conversations on their own behalf.

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

"Allaahu Akbar": Does it Replace "Bismillah"?

 


Question:

Some reciters separating between two chapters of the Qur'aan by saying "Allaahu Akbar" rather than Bismillah, is this permissible? And is there any proof to prove or to disprove this practice?
Answer:

The practice you mention is contrary to how the Companions would separate chapters of the Qur'aan and contrary to what the people of knowledge do. The furthest one may go in this regard is to say that some reciters considered in recommended to say "Allaahu Akbar" after reading every chapter from "Ad-Dhuha" to the end of the Qur'aan, but even then, they recite "Bismillah" at the beginning of each chapter. The practice you refer to is not Sunnah - it is not related from the Prophet sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam. What is legislated is to begin every chapter of the Qur'aan - separating one chapter from another - with "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim," with the exception being "Bara'a (i.e. At-Tawbah)" since there is no "Bismillah" between it and Surat Al-Anfal.
