الإجابــة
Answer:
الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، وعلى آله وصحبه، أما بعد:
All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, and his companions. To proceed:
فالغاية من إنزال القرآن الكريم هو هداية الناس وإخراجهم من ظلمات الشرك والمعاصي إلى نور التوحيد والطاعات لتتحقق لهم بذلك سعادة الدنيا والآخرة. قال الله تعالى:
The purpose of revealing the Noble Quran is to guide people and bring them out of the darkness of shirk and disobedience into the light of monotheism and obedience, thereby achieving happiness in both this world and the Hereafter. Allah the Exalted says:
الر كِتَابٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ [إبراهيم:١]
“This is a Book which We have revealed to you [O Muhammad] that you might bring mankind out of darkness into the light by permission of their Lord—to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy.” (Surah Ibrahim: 1)
والغاية من إنزاله أيضا ليتدبر العباد ويتعظوا ويتذكروا ويستعدوا ليوم القيامة. قال تعالى:
Another purpose of its revelation is that Allah’s servants may reflect on its verses, take lessons, and prepare for the Day of Judgment. Allah the Almighty says:
كِتَابٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آَيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الأَلْبَابِ [ص:٢٩]
“[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.” (Surah Sad: 29)
قال ابن جرير: ليتدبروا حجج الله التي فيه وما شرع فيه من شرائعه فيتعظوا ويعملوا به.
Ibn Jarir said: “That they reflect upon Allah’s arguments contained within it, and the laws He legislated in it, so that they may take heed and act upon them.”
وقال تعالى: هُوَ الَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ آَيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ [الحديد:٩]
“It is He who sends down upon His Servant [Muhammad] verses of clear evidence that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light.” (Surah al-Hadid: 9)
وأما ما هي الواجبات عند قراءة القرآن فإذا كانت القراءة من المصحف فيجب الوضوء لمس المصحف لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: لا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر.. وانظر الفتوى الأخرى هنا :
As for the duties when reading the Quran: if one is reading from the mushaf (physical copy), then ablution (wudu) is obligatory before touching it, based on the Prophet’s ﷺ saying: “No one should touch the Quran except one who is pure.” See this related fatwa:
كما يجب على القارئ أن يوقر كتاب الله تعالى ويعظمه حق تعظيمه. وانظر الفتوى الأخرى هنا :
A reader must also show reverence and veneration to the Book of Allah as it truly deserves. See this related fatwa:
حول تجويد القرآن عند القراءة والفتوى الأخرى هنا :
Also, attention must be given to proper tajwid (pronunciation) during recitation. See this related fatwa:
وانظر أخيرا الفتوى الأخرى هنا : ، حول آداب تلاوة القرآن.
And finally, observe the etiquettes of Quran recitation. See this related fatwa:
والله أعلم.
And Allah knows best.
