Question (27  Rajab 1424/Sept. 24, 2003)

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barakathahu,

 I would like to get your valuable advise on this issue.  I am an Indian, I used to recite the Holy Qur'aan every often and while.  But in most cases, I don't know the exact meaning and hence, I cannot go so deep in to it.  

But when I browse your site, I found there a statement that reciting without pondering is less rewarded.  So I doubt that my recitation will be rewarded as an exercise by mouth only.  How I can get rid of these problems.

I will be grateful to you for your kind advise.

Regards

Question (22  Rajab 1424/Sept. 19, 2003)

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

I have a question again about the method of teaching children reading Qur’an. I was sending my children to a friend to read Qur’an.  In  a half an hour they read about five pages in front of the teacher and the teacher will correct the mistakes they made. The teacher's method is that she wants them to khitmah early and I’m not sure what's the next plan. 

My worry is that they read too much with right and wrong rather than reading a little but proper. During my time I cannot turn the page until I read with ahkum at least to the current hukum that I've learned. 

I was teaching my children before but found it they are not serious with their own mom. So I started sending them to a friend but I would like to know which way is correct. Do you have any tips to make children happy reading Qur’an? When I teach my daughter, she prefer to read in her own way rather than listen and follow my way of reading.

I hope to know your advice very soon and jazakumullah khair for the efforts.

Assalam alaikum.

My question is about the name of the letter zaa, occurring after the letter ra'a. It is written as za-a-y. Please explain how to read this name, is the yaa pronounced in it, so it becomes zaa-yee? Some Arabic alphabet books also write it's name as zayn. Which is the correct one for tajweed purposes?

Jazakum Allahu khairan

Question (8  Rajab 1424/Sept. 5, 2003)

Assalamou Aleikum,

Thanks again for replying to my question about the letter miim and nuun. The lessons that you provide are not only interesting, but very helpful.

I have a couple of questions I would like to mention inshallah.

 1. The first question concerns the "stopping at a word that contains the letter taa". In Surah 66 (At-tahrim) verse 5 for example, when the reader stopped (for a short moment) at the word "Muslimatin", he pronounced the sound of the letter taa by saying: "Muslimat". However, on verse 6 of the same surah (66), when he stopped (for a short moment) at the word "Malaa ikatun" ,  he did not pronounce the sound of the letter taa and therefore read : "Malaa ika"

Would you please explain why he did so?

2. This question concerns words in Hafs and Warsh. In surah As-Shams (91) verse 15, for example, in Hafs, it is written "Wa la yakhaafu..."  But in Warsh, it is written "Fala yakhaafu..."

Since the letter "Waaw" and "Faa" are different, may this difference change or distort the meaning of the sentence? 

May Allah help you in finding the answers of those questions inshallah. 

Ma Salam

May Allah reward you for the good work you are doing in the propagation of the recitation of the Quran. Ameen.

My question is regarding the word  in surah tawbah (verse 36). Grammatically I thought it was 'tathaqaltum'.

Could you explain if this word has been changed in the recitation.
