Questions..

Replying while “trembling with fear”. Afterall I have to go do that messy but important job. Not right away but sometimes in the next 24 hours.

So Jaan ki amaan payoon to urz karoon! :slight_smile:

  1. Neither. You don’t need to “read” or “recite”. Instead you need to “understand” it to the best of your abilities.

There are too many readers and reciters. Look at the ARabic speaking countries. So many haffaz and qaris and other readers,

But very very very few out there ever try to “understand” the true meaning of our beautiful book. Instead they go and gulp down a tafsir from some 2-penny Maulana.

So the bottom line is try to “understand” Quran as much as you can. Doesn’t matter if you read or recite.

Respecting the BOOKS meaning all the books including books of other madhabs and even your text books is the key here.

Being clean (wudu or shower) will definitely help you learn from and understand a book and that’s the essence of respecting “knowledge” and understanding.

And if you use the criteria “being clean is good for learning”, then you could see that books either in paper form or in digital form deserve the same respect.

Keeping the keyboard of your computer (and your computer in general) will definitely keep you healthy.

Remember! Cleanliness is half of our iman.
