He Has Two Rewards!
|
Question:
A relative of mine loves to read the Quran only he is not good at Arabic grammar and rules of recitation; what should he do?
|
Answer:
He should strive to read correctly, to understand what he is reading, and not be hasty. He should learn to recite from someone who knows better than him. By working hard, he gains a great reward, for the Prophet said, The best of you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it. [1] And he said, The person who is proficient in the Quran is with the honourable, pious and just scribes (in heaven). As for the person who reads the Quran, though it is difficult for him and though he stutters, he has two rewards. [2]
[1] Al-Bukhari no. 5027. [2] Al-Bukhari no. 4937 and Muslim no. 798.
