Etiquette When Reading The Holy Quran<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa said,  “The most excellent worship before me is recitation of the Qur\u2019an.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another narration about Reading The Holy Quran:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The hearts gather rust like iron!\u2019, declared the Prophet \ufdfa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Companions \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645 enquired, \u2018O Prophet of Allah \ufdfa! How can it be removed?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He \ufdfa replied, \u2018Through recitation of the Qur\u2019an and the remembrance of death.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manners Of The Heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGIN OF THE WORDS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is an indication to the greatness of the words being read, and the bounty of Allah; Glorified is He, to His creation when He addressed His creation with these words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. PUTTING INTO THE HEART THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF MAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through this the reader should think about the characteristics of Allah the Exalted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. PRESENCE OF THE HEART WHILE READING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through this the reader should throw away other thoughts while reading the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. PONDERING THE MEANING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is less reward in reciting the Qur’an without understanding the meaning. The Qur’an was revealed for guidance and this can be achieved through recitation accompanied with pondering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This means interacting and reacting to every verse according to what is proper for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F. INDIVIDUALIZATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This means that the reader feels that every message in the Qur\u2019an is meant especially for him personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/lite-youtube>\n\n\n\n

Using sawak.
Facing the Qiblah.
Seeking refuge from rejected Satan and reading the basmalah.
Not reading when yawning.
Avoiding cutting off reading to talk with people.
Stopping at a verse of warning and seeking protection with Allah, and stopping at a verse of mercy and asking The Merciful for His bounty.

Imam An-Nawwawi may Allah be Merciful to him said: Crying when reading the Qur\u2019an is a characteristic of those who know Allah (know Him through His names and Characteristics) and the feelings of the righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
