Translation text: What is Better to do in Ramaḍān, Memorising the Qurʾān or Reciting It? - Sheikh Ibn Bāz السؤال: سماحة الشيخ بمناسبة قرب شهر رمضان المبارك أيهما أفضل الانشغال بحفظ القرآن ومراجعته، أم الإكثار من تلاوة القرآن؟ Question: Esteemed Sheikh, as the month of Ramaḍān is approaching, which is better, busying ourselves with memorising the Qurʾān and revising it, or increasing in reciting the Qurʾān? الجواب: الذي يظهر -والله أعلم- من هدي السلف: Answer: What is apparent – and Allāh knows best – from the way of the Salaf الإكثار من تلاوة القرآن والحرص على تكرار ختمات القرآن؛ is to increase in reciting the Qurʾān and strive to complete it many times لأنه فرصة مع التدبر والتعقل، because it is an opportunity, along with contemplation and understanding. وإذا ضم إلى ذلك حفظ ما تيسر في أوقات أخرى من الشهر يجمع بين المصلحتين؛ However, if along with that one also memorises whatever he can at other times, he can combine between both the benefits. يكثر من التلاوة ويجعل وقتًا خاصًا لحفظ ما تيسر من ذلك؛ فهذا حسن. He increases in reciting and sets a specific time to memorise whatever he can. This is good. لكن ينبغي الإكثار من التلاوة حتى يختم ختمات كثيرة تأسيًا بالسلف الصالح رضي الله عنهم واغتناما للفرصة؛ However, one should increase in reciting until he completes it many times, following the example of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ (Pious Predecessors) – may Allāh ﷻ be pleased with them – and seizing the opportunity. ولأن في ذلك طلبًا للعلم، وتفقهًا في الدين؛ فإن في قراءة القرآن تفقهًا في الدين وطلبًا للعلم؛ That’s also because this contains a form of seeking knowledge and understanding the deen, for indeed, reading the Qurʾān includes understanding the deen and seeking knowledge لأنه كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور because the Book of Allāh contains guidance and Nūr (light). ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://www.youtube.com/@rabbaniyeen 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
