Reciting the Qur'an at certain times


772

Q 7: If a Muslim is accustomed to reciting the Qur’an at particular times, such as after Fajr (Dawn) Prayer or on Fridays, should they recite a Hizb (1/60th of the Qur'an), a quarter of a Hizb, a specific number of Ayahs (Qur’anic verses), maybe 30 or 50, or whatever they can recite from the Qur’an?


A: Muslims should recite of the Qur’an as much as they can, without committing themselves to a specific number of Surahs (Qur'anic chapter) or Ayahs. They should try to recite the Qur’an daily, if this is possible, as there is great goodness and reward in this. (Part No. 4; Page No. 33) They should also try to contemplate and reflect upon the Ayahs they recite, to benefit from the Words of their Lord (Glorified be He).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
