Re: [IslamCity] Which is better, reading Qur'aan together or individually?

2005-11-10 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



Reading Quran is better in first and we must do that only instead of asking how to read individually or with group.
As far as this question arises if one who wanna read Quran is not perfect in reading then he/she can read in presence of some one or group, but if one read good then they can read in both ways, and one must keep in mind there must not be proudness or ria showcase for this act if this is in there mind then all there deeds are for here and not for the day of judgement. so one must read first and read to understand and read to belive and obey on it.
May Allah give all of us this spirit of reading with meaning and obeying it in our lifes
Jazakallah khair
Brother in islam.

 of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Strive to do that which will benefit you." So whatever is more beneficial for you, so long as it is not forbidden according to sharee'ah, is best.

Which is better, reading Qur'aan together or individually? 

Question: 

What is the manner in which Jibreel review the Qur'aan with the Prophet (peace 
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Ramadaan? Does that indicate that it is 
better to study the Qur'aan together rather than individually? Is it better to 
do that at night rather than during the day? We hope you can explain. 


Answer: 

Praise be to Allaah. 

Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

Firstly: 

With regard to how he reviewed it with him, I do not know how that was done. 

Secondly: 

With regard to whether it is mustahabb for people to gather to read Qur'aan 
together or for each person to read it individually, that depends on the person 
himself. If gathering with his brothers to study Qur'aan together will make him 
more focused and help him to learn better, then gathering with others is 
preferable, i.e., if gathering with others will make him have proper presence 
of mind and be more focused on pondering the meanings of the Qur'aan, and allow 
the opportunity to discuss the meanings, then that is better. But if it is the 
opposite then reading it on his own is better. 

Thirdly: 

With regard to Jibreel reviewing the Qur'aan with the Prophet (peace and 
blessings of Allaah be upon him), that was for the purpose of making sure that 
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) memorized it. 

With regard to the third part of your question _ which is whether it is better 
to do that at night rather than during the day _ the answer is yes, but a 
person may need to do other things which means that he cannot study Qur'aan at 
night, in which case he should study it more during the day. 

So each person should look at what is best for him, because of the general 
meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon 
him): "Strive to do that which will benefit you." So whatever is more 
beneficial for you, so long as it is not forbidden according to sharee'ah, is 
best.
