At least complete the recitation of the Qur'aan every month… !

Explained by Sheikh Saleh al Fawzaan  حفظه الله

If a month passes by and the Qur’aan has not been completed, then this is neglect!! 

 

Allaah سبحانه و تعالى sent down this Qur’aan to be recited and implemented. He did not send it down for it to be placed in books and Mushafs and  for it to be preserved on shelves and cupboards. Rather, it is to be recited night and day. A Muslim recites it in every available situation and the Scholars have stated….

The Companions, (may Allaah be pleased with them), used to portion out the Qur’aan. They used to set a portion (to recite) during the night and during the night prayer. Some of them would complete reciting it in three nights, others in seven and ten nights.

At the very least, the Qur’aan should be divided into thirty days so that we recite a Juz of the Qur’aan, every day.  A day and a night should not pass by except that the person has recited a Juz of the Qur’aan. This is at the very least. If he recites more than this, then it is better. If he can complete it in ten days, three or seven days, then this is better.

But if a month passes by and the Qur’aan has not been completed, then this is neglect!! 

This is neglect and abandonment of the Qur’aan. 

Abandoning the Qur’aan is of different types. From these types is the abandonment of recitation and from it is the abandonment of working by the Qur’aan.
