When the verses of the Holy Qurn are recited aloud, some
people, although remaining silent, continue to look around and
continue to perform various movements and gestures. Such people
should note that listening attentively is also essential in addition
to remaining silent. In this respect, Al arat, the Leader of the

to recitation, then the sin will be upon the reciter. If the reciter
began reciting before the people became occupied in their work
at a place that is not specified for work, then if people do not
listen to recitation, the sin will be upon those people. However, if
he began to recite after they had already started working; the sin
will be on the reciter. (Ghunya-tul-Mutamall, pg. 497)
13. It is also discouraged to recite aloud where somebody is learning
Islamic knowledge, or where a student of Islamic sciences is revising
or researching. (ibid)
14. There is no harm in reciting the Holy Qurn whilst lying down,
as long as the legs are folded up [i.e. not stretched out] and the face
is uncovered. Additionally, it is also permissible to perform Tilwa
whilst walking or working, provided attention of the heart is not
distracted; otherwise it would be Makru [disliked]. (ibid, pp. 496)
15. It is impermissible to recite the Holy Qurn in the bathroom or
in places of impurity. (ibid)
16. Listening to recitation of the Holy Qurn is better than reciting
the Holy Qurn or offering Nafl al [Supererogatory prayer].

good deed, we end up showing off!

The rulings of reciting and touching the Holy Qurn also apply
to translations of the Holy Qurn in English, Persian, or any other
language. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 327, vol. 2)
7.
It is not permissible for the one who has not performed Wuu or
for whom Ghusl is due to touch an ya written in a book or in a
newspaper; similarly, it is also not permissible to touch the back
side of the paper directly behind the section where ya is written.

These might be placed on the floor in order to affix seals; these
might be ripped and thrown into the waste, and this misconduct

4.
In accordance with the organisational structure of Dawat-eIslami, each Masjid has been regarded as a al alqa (SubUnit). In every al alqa it is an aim to establish a Madan
alqa (a study circle) every day after alt-ul-Fajr to recite/listen
21
2.
The sacred pages of the Holy Qurn should not be placed into the
shallow part of the sea, or into a shallow river or stream, because
this generally causes them to float on to the shore and leads to
severe disrespect. The method of putting them into to sea is firstly
to place them in an empty bag or sack, along with a heavy stone
and then make some incisions into the bag or sack so that water
can enter into it immediately and it can sink to the bottom of the
sea. If water does not enter into it, it sometimes floats for miles
and reaches the shore. In the greed of obtaining the bag or sack,
at times uncivilised people, or even Kuffr [disbelievers] heap the
respected pages at the shore and then such severe acts of disrespect
take place that the heart of a devotee would begin tremble upon
hearing about such events. In order to ensure that the bag or sack
22
reaches the deep part of the sea, help can be obtained from a
Muslim boatman, however it should be remembered that the
incisions should be made in any case.
May I respect the Qurn all the time
O Lord! With Your fear may I always tremble

Even if there are many Qurns stocked in a Masjid, and not all of
them are being used; some are wearing out; it is impermissible to
sell them and to spend price in the affairs of the Masjid. However,
such Qurns may be distributed to be placed into other Masjids
and Islamic schools. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp. 164, vol. 16)
O my Lord! May recitation become part of my daily routine!
In reciting the Qurn wholeheartedly, may I become keen!

Immas are the crowns of the Arabs, so wear the Imma and

10. The length of the Shimla of the Imma should be at least the
width of four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e.
approximately the length of one arm. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp.
182, vol.22)
11. Bind the Imma whilst standing facing the Qibla. (Kashf-ul-Iltibs
f Istibb-il-Libs lil Shaykh Abd-ul-aq Dilv, pp. 38)
12. (13.) The Sunna of the Imma is that it should not be shorter
than 2 yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and
it should be bound in a dome-like fashion. (Fatw Razawiyya
(Jadd), pp. 186, vol. 22)
14. (15.) If you have a large kerchief with which you can produce
enough folds to cover the whole head, then it will be considered
as an Imma. It is Makru to bind a small kerchief with which
one can only produce one or two folds. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp.
299, vol. 7)
16. When taking the Imma off, unbind it fold by fold (rather than
taking it off as it is still bound). (Fatwah Alamghr, pp. 330, vol. 5)
