Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are now in the holy month of Ramadan. Huzur-e- karim[S:] used to start taking preparation from the month of razab and suggested others so that they can observe Ramadan in a devoted manner. Ammazan Hazrat Aysha [r:] narrates that the complexion of Huzur[s:]’s appearance would have been changed at the advent of Ramadan. It is said that in this month if someone makes an intention to do some good work then that person would obtain a reward whether or not that works are implemented.
It is really exciting that in the day time we are keeping fast and in the night time we listen Koran recitation while praying "Tarabi" in the mosque. A hafez recites Koran with his emotion and perception and when he rehearse azab ayats his voice crumbles under the power of ayats, he weeps and remain speechless for a while and when he recites reward ayats and there is glad tidings his voice goes louder to reflect the joy that comes from these ayats. The environment really turns holy and with intense amount of positivity in the air which is being vibrated through the sincere presence of prayers and worshippers. We feel like as if all his blessings, compassions and mercies are coming down upon the devoted servants enclosed by the angels.
We should adhere to one particular place for listening koran in Tarabi prayers. If we change the place we can miss many ayats from listening and can be deprived full benefit of it. Mosques are left empty as maximum people leave after performing eight rakats of Tarabi salats. A person is said to be closer to Allah when that person offer a sezda. That person can be more closer to Allah provided that person prays twenty rakats of prayers as there remains forty sezdas in twenty rakats of Tarabi salats. However if a person performs salatul Tarabi with an intention to achieve reward then that person’s past sins are forgiven [Bokhari].
Huzur[s:] is said to be rehearsing koran frequently during Ramadan compared to other times, He never used to go to bed without rehearsing sura mulk. Sura mulk is said to be making recommendation continuously until sins are forgiven. Allah made the koran easy to comprehend for all levels of people so that we can use it in our daily life. Allah reveals the following ayat three times on sura kamar:
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
And we have indeed made the Koran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?
We must be very vigilant about the sign of "okfe-lazim"[م].If this sign is seen at the end of a ayat or anywhere in the ayat then we must stop for a while otherwise the meaning of the whole ayat will be distorted and in that case we will become sinner. "okfe zayez" denotes the symbol[ج] if we see this symbol anywhere it is better to stop but if we do not stop there is no harm. If we get the symbol ‘ز’ it’s better not to stop. If we come across the signs قتor لاthere is no harm if we do not stop. However if we ignore the sign ط and do not stop at that particular point then that can alter the meaning of that ayat. However these are said to be some of rules that should be followed while rehearsing Koran.
We ask Allah to give us toufik to read and understand Koran correctly.
We ask Allah to give us toufik to keep on fasting correctly.
