Re: Is quran farz??

Ok well no I didn’t mean reading quran on regular basis. For an example lets say there is this girl who follows Islam … hijabi, namazi… everything you can imagine Islam teaches but lets say because she can not read Arabic she has read maybe translation of quran… or got knowledge of Islam from other sources… I won’t deny that reading quran in Arabic has its own sawab.. but lets say for argument sake.. that’s the case.. what would you say in this situatiuon?

What I want to know is why do people tell what’s farz and what’s sunnah?? I know the benefits of reading quran and living your life the way quran says it… But telling me that something is farz and that people who claim to be good muslims can’t do that because they don’t read quran. I don’t know if that make sense but first of all I don’t think that we should really judge or question someone else’s faith and moreover giving fatwas on what’s farz what’s sunnah is just something I don’t get.

What do you understand from these verses?

Surah 12 verses 1-3

**
Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book.

Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an that you might understand.

We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur’an although you were, before it, among the unaware.

**Even if we don’t understand the Arabic, we should try our hardest to learn Arabic … Something that we have neglected over the past few centuries … The Qur’an has been preserved together with the ancient Arabic language due to the love of the Qur’an, people memorising it and teaching it. It is the word of Allah (SWT) that in itself should indicate to those who love Allah that they want to obey its instructions but also be absorbed in its words as uttered by the holy prophet Muhammad (SAW) …

The Qur’aan and its respect

I recall a dream of Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal in which he saw Allah in his dream. He enquired, “O my Lord! What brings your servants closer to you? Allah Talah replied, “That which has come from me” (i.e., the Holy Qur’aan). He asked, “My Lord, is this through understanding the Qur’aan or without?” Allah Talah said “With or without understanding it. Both are means of becoming close”

Understanding the Qur’an without reciting it is equal to reciting it without understanding … So the better thing is to strive to do both.
