Learning
to read the Qur.aan
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I am unable to recite nor memorise the Qur.aan well. So what
is the way to improve both my recitation and memorisation,
keeping in mind that there is no-one available to teach us
and we are adults?
Response:
The ideal way to learn tajweed (proper recitation of the Qur.aan)
is to read to a qualified shaykh. However, if no such person
is available in the city, then the Sharee'ah
requires and encourages one to travel in order to attain this
knowledge (from a qualified shaykh). And if this is not possible,
then the Muslim should benefit from his brothers (in religion),
and from audio cassettes of qualified reciters. And when Allaah
knows a person's intention is sincere, then He opens for him
the doors to all good.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
