Sunnats and Aadaab of Tilaawat of the Qur’aan Majeed – Part 8

1. One should recite the Qur’aan Majeed when one’s heart is inclined towards the recitation. If one feels tired and notices that his concentration is affected, then one should stop the tilaawat, and continue when one is able to focus and concentrate.

وعن جندب بن عبد الله قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: اقرؤوا القرآن ما ائتلفت عليه قلوبكم فإذا اختلفتم فقوموا عنه (صحيح بخاري رقم 5061)

Hazrat Jundub bin Abdillah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Recite the Qur’aan Majeed as long as your hearts are focused (towards the Qur’aan Majeed), and when you lose focus (and become tired and distracted), then stop reciting.”
