One
who is weak in his tajweed and reciting the Qur.aan leading
the prayer
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: I inform you that I am the imaam of
a masjid
in one of the suburbs of Riyadh and the problem is that I
am weak in my tajweed (proper rules of recitation) during
recitation and make many errors. I have memorised three parts
(of the Qur.aan) and some aayaat
from other Soorahs
and I am afraid in my conscious. Please assist me. Should
I continue as an imaam or resign?
Response:
You must exert a lot of effort in memorising what you can
from the Qur.aan and tajweed and be aware of the tidings of
good and the protection from Allaah the Mighty and Majestic
- if you have corrected your intention and strived much in
that as Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala)
has stated:
{Whosoever
fears Allaah He will make his affair easy}, [Soorah
at-Talaaq, Aayah
4]
Also is the statement of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam):
((The
one who excels in the Qur'aan will be with the most noble
and righteous hosts, and the one who reads the Qur'aan and
stammers in it and struggles with it will have two rewards)),
[al-Bukhaaree]
We
do not therefore advise you to resign. On the contrary, we
advise you to make a continuous effort and have patience and
steadfastness until you are successful in learning the tajweed
of Allaah's Book and memoriaing it entirely or what is made
easy for you and may Allaah accept your eforts make your affair
easy.
