More than Recitation

More than Recitation

It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb – Allah be pleased with him – said:

Do not be fooled by one who recites the Qurân. His recitation is but speech – but look to those who act according to it.

Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 109

It is reported from Ayyûb Al-Sakhtiyânî [d130H] that he said:

There is no filth filthier than the sinful (fâjir) reciter of the Qurân.

Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 114

It is reported from Al-Fudayl (b. ‘Ayyâd) that he said:

The Qurân was sent down to be acted upon but people have taken just reciting it as enough of a deed. He was asked, “How is it acted upon?” He replied, “They should treat as halâl what it makes halâl and treat as harâm what it makes harâm, they should take on its commandments and stay away from what it forbids, and they should stop to ponder its amazing knowledge and wisdom.”

Al-Khatîb, Iqtidâ` Al-‘Ilm Al-‘Amal no. 116

thank you so much sis...

i think some people do get carried away with their 'favourite recitors'...

but for some reason, i do feel as though the more effective recitors are those who actually act upon what they read.

salams.
