The complete idiots guide to the Reading.

Times of reading

The daily reading and the prayer, are done in the dawn and evening prayer times.

(1778 Keep the evening prayers at sunset untill it has become completely dark, and the prayer and reading at dawn; for the dawn prayer and reading is established.

So wake up from the night and pray and read, a duty for you as was for those before you, God willing your Lord grant you a blessed position.)

73 O you coverd with your garments. Stand the night except alittle. Half of it or alittle less. Or alittle more, and read the Quran. We will send you a heavy message. The first half of the night is better and perfect for receiving a message. You may ten to your work and rest during the day.)

( During the dawn prayer one may read all the way up until its expiry (sunrise). And for the evening prayer one may read all the way up until midnight or its expiry.)

The Two Daily Readings

The reading of the Scriptures two times daily is obligatory upon all Muslims- male and female. The two daily readings are

The Dawn reading 2. The evening reading.

The same place you pray is were you do your reading.

Method of reading

The submitter stands erect, gaze cast down. He forms the intention for his reading and says

" Glory be to our God!"

After the above the submitter should recite the following

" My Lord, admit me an entrance of truth and let me exit a exit of truth, and grant me from Yourself a support to victory."

" The truth has come, while falsehood has perished. Falsehood is always bound to perish!"

"My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the sneaking devils. And I seek refuge in You my Lord. Lest they should come near."
After reciting the above he opens the Quran and reads from any chapter/s or verses of the Quran. It is recommended that every submitter read the Quran all the way through beginnig with chapter 1. Your personal needs will often determine what you read.

( During the dawn prayer one may read all the way up until its expiry (sunrise). And for the evening prayer one may read all the way up until midnight or its expiry.).

A Quran should be availabe! However, if a Quran is not availabe, the reading can be observed by reciting any chapter/s or verses of the Quran from memory or what has been inspired to one.

After the reading the submitter closes the book and says

" Praise be to God the Lord of the worlds."

Your daily reading has now been complete.

Rules

It is best to read immediatly after the prayers, it is permissible to read the Quran before the prayer.

It is permissible to read in a sitting posture.

The position of the constituent parts of the reading

There are parts of the daily reading which are absoulute proof.

The Absoulute proof constituents of the reading are

After making the intention for the reading to say

" My Lord, admit me an entrance of truth and let me exit a exit of truth, and grant me from Yourself a support to victory."

" The truth has come, while falsehood has perished. Falsehood is always bound to perish!"

"My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the sneaking devils. And I seek refuge in You my Lord. Lest they should come near."

To read

(1778 Keep the evening prayers at sunset untill it has become completely dark, and the prayer and reading at dawn; for the dawn prayer and reading is established.

So wake up from the night and pray and read, a duty for you as was for those before you, God willing your Lord grant you a blessed position.)

73 O you coverd with your garments. Stand the night except alittle. Half of it or alittle less. Or alittle more, and read the Quran. We will send you a heavy message. The first half of the night is better and perfect for receiving a message. You may ten to your work and rest during the day.)

All other parts are factors that are practiced by the messenger or leader.

Acts which justifie the breaking of reading.

..TR> 7319 This is a reminder, so let he who wishes take a path to his Lord.
7320 Your Lord knows that you rise a little less than two thirds of the night, and half of it, and one third of it, as well as a group of those who are with you. And God measures the night and the day. He knows that you will not be able to keep-up, so He pardons you. So read what is made easy of the Qur'an. He knows that there will be sick among you, and others that go forth in the land seeking from God's bounty, and others who are fighting in the cause of God, so read what you can of it. And uphold the communion and contribute towards betterment and give God a loan of righteousness. And whatever you put forth yourselves, you will find it with God, for it is better and a greater reward. And seek God's forgiveness, for God is Forgiving, Merciful.

Congregational Reading

Conditions for the validity of congregational prayers.

The one reading must be a submitter.
The one reading must be sane and sober.
The follower must, together with his intention for reading intend that he is keeping the reading behind the leader.
The place of the leader and the follower should be the same.

If the distance between the leader and the follower is so much that two rows of submitters could be accommodated, the place of the leader and follower will not be considered as being the same, and the congregation will not be valid. The distance between leader and follower should not be so great that two rows of worshippers could be accommodated in the intervening space( I.e. between leader and follower).

The follower must not be in front of the leader.

If the heels of the follower are ahead of the heels of the leader it will be considered that the follower is in front of the leader, and the congregation will not be valid.

Association in reading.

7204 And if the Qur'an is being related, then listen to it and pay attention, that you may receive mercy.

"Believe in it or do not believe in it. Those who have been given the knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, they fall to their chins prostrating."

1958 Those are the ones whom God has blessed from amongst the prophets from the progeny of Adam, and those We carried with Noah, and from the progeny of Abraham and Israel, and from whom We have guided and chosen. When the revelations of the Almighty are recited to them, they fall down prostrating, and in tears.
2853 And if it is recited to them, they say "We believe in it. It is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, we had submitted before it."

2853 And if it is recited to them, they say "We believe in it. It is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, we had submitted before it."

( n.b. Should the follower enter any position before the leader, he should remain in that position until the leader also obtains that position.)

8.Equivalence of State of leader and follower.

The state of the follower should be lesser or equal to that of the leader. The state of the follower must not be higher than that of the leader
