Reading The Qur'aan And The Place Of Prostration

Leave a Comment


Praise be to Allaah.​

It is mustahabb for the Muslim to read Qur’aan a great deal during Ramadhaan and to strive to complete it, but that is not obligatory, i.e., if he does not complete the Qur’aan he is not sinning, but he has missed out on a great deal of reward. The evidence for that is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (4614) from Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: Jibreel used to review the Qur’aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) once every year, and he reviewed it with him twice in the year in which he passed away.

Also, we admonish everyone to be closed to the Qur'aan for Allaah's people are the people of the Qur'aan as seen in the prophetic narration below;

Ibn Maajah (215) and Ahmad (11870) narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily Allaah has His own people among mankind.”​ They said: O Messenger of Allaah, who are they? He said: “They are the people of the Qur’an, Allaah’s own people and those who are closest to Him.”​ Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

Al-Hakeem at-Tirmidhi said: This only applies to the reciter whose heart is free from ailments and his behaviour is free of misconduct. No one could be one of Allaah’s own people except one who is cleansed of sin both outwardly and inwardly, and does acts of obedience to Allaah. Then he will be one of Allaah’s own people.
End quote from Fayd al-Qadeer (3/87).

It is not sufficient for a person just to recite Qur’an in order to be one of the people of the Qur’an, unless he also acts in accordance with it, adheres to its limits and follows its teachings.

Now, in the Qur'aan, there are places where Its reader is expected and encouraged to prostrate. Like chapter 13verse14; the place has been underlined ________​. Its called sujood al-tilaawah.

It is of two ways;

On Salaah and Not On Salaah​

1 *Not On Salaah*: It is not essential to have wudoo’ for sujood al-tilaawah, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, and there is no salaam or takbeer when coming up from it, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions.

It is prescribed to say takbeer when prostrating, because evidence to that effect is proven in the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him).

2 ​On Salaah​: It is obligatory to say takbeer when going down and when coming up, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do that in every movement of the prayer, and he said: “Pray as you have seen me praying.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh , 595).

What to say in the prostration​:

 "Allaahumma laka sajadtu wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhi lilladhi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu bi hawlihi wa quwwatihi, tabaarak Allaahu ahsan al-khaaliqeen"​
