Occasionallymy mother will recite a khatm of the Quran with the intention of gaining tawfiq in some matter, or for someone in our family to be helped in overcoming some obstacle. For example, if someone is about to have a critical surgery, she will recite a khatm so that it goes smoothly and works out successfully. She also keeps fasts for this purpose. She would like to know if this is allowed.
Also, can we celebrate the moving into a new house with a khatam (a meeting of people who finish the quran) in order to receive blessings?? It is common practise in people from the Indian Subcontinent. Are we allowed to have food at this gathering??
This recitation can be carried out individually and also collectively with maintaining the proper Adab and respect for the book of Allah. However, in the case of collective recitation, it is preferable to recite silently.
As for the eating of food after the recitation is concerned, there is nothing principally wrong in that. However, care should be taken that the objective of the gathering is not lost, and the intention of attending the gathering is not one of eating food.
Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rending asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect. [Quran Al-Hashr 59:21]
Hence the salaf used to read Quran a great deal during Ramadan, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Qataadah (may Allah have mercy on him) used to complete the Quran every seven nights all the time, and every three nights in Ramadaan, and every two nights during the last ten days of Ramadaan.
This hadith proves that people who are not well versed in the Arabic languge or have other difficulties in reciting the Quran, get even a higher reward for reciting the Quran in Arabic for their extra effort.
Please use this very nice month on ramadhan to make amalan shaliihan everything both in relationships with Allah the almighty God (hhablum minallah) and relationships with all human (hablum minannaas). Do good works and fastabiqul khairaat
Whenever you read brother the Quran it always give you the meaning different from the previous one, it means it has multi-dimensional aspects of meaning commensurating each problem we face in different times. so it is no doubt a complete code of life. especially it restricts sectarianism, unites all brothers in one HUBL rope, may ALLAH give us strength and ILM to get onto righteous path, ameen
The Atheist and the villagers were waiting for the
scholar, but the scholar did not come right on time.
When the Atheist and the villagers thought that the
scholar will not come for the debate, then the scholar
showed up.
After the people calmed down, the scholar said, If
you believe that the boat could not exist without its
maker, then how could you believe the earth, sky, and
its contents exist without its creator? Which is the
most difficult to make? Making a boat or creating the
earth, sky, and its contents?
Milky Way is only a galaxy among thousands galaxies
that form a Cluster. This cluster with thousands
clusters form 1 Super Cluster. And thousands of Super
Clusters form the Universe whose length is 30 billion
light years away! Remember, the number 30 billion
light years away only current estimation since the
strongest telescope today only could reach 15 billion
light years away.
There are millions of people controlling the traffic
on road, sea, and air. Beacons are built. People also
build traffic light and radar. Air Traffic Control is
built to prevent accident. All vehicles have drivers.
Even on airplane there are pilot and co-pilot to make
the flight safer. On the ships there are Captain,
navigator, and engineers. Yet thousands of accidents
happen every year on land, sea, and air. Even though
there are many controllers, the accidents still
happen.
On the contrary, the Earth, Sun, Moon, Stars, and
others always revolve for billions of years without
single crash. Most scientists believe that the Earth,
Sun, and all of the other planets and moons in the
solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. For
billions of years until now the Earth never bump into
the Sun, and the Sun never collides with the Moon.
There is no mark, police, nor pilots to drive them.
Without God, the Controller of the Universe, none of
these would happen. Everything is in order because
there is God who controls everything. Allah has put
orbit for each of those things. If we really think
about it then we will know that God exist.
In another verse, Allah challenges others to create a
fly if they could do it. Men may be could make robots
from things that created by Allah. Yet, none could
make a fly from nothing nor thing that could reproduce
except Allah:
