Re: Covering Hair When Reading Quran
Peace Mughal1
This view is very stingy … and miserly … When a person does wudu, wears clean clothes, sits down and beautifies the Qur’an in recitation … they are being clean, they are protected in the state of wudu and they are not spending time doing useless things or haram things … Avoiding sins by engaging in reciting the Qur’an is beneficial activity. I have spent many years reading the Qur’an as a child unable to grasp it, but totally captured in its sound and wanting to articulate the Words of God …
To say what you say about it is wrong … to read it for the sake of reading it - brings us closer to it and builds up our sincerity to it. These are real tangible and praiseworthy actions … We should also STRIVE to understand it - but to say that “not understanding it” is useless is wrong. Part of the programme it contains is that it should often recited.
Furthermore - in my experience the people who understand it the most - are the same people who deem it praisworthy to simply recite … they also encourage others to read it and they teach Arabic so others can understand it.
