When I first saw your questions I was a bit confused: Is not the tape or the CD also a Muslim reciting as well? I mean it s not like the CD player s reading itself! or is it because it is not heard the same time it is read? I sometimes feel some scholars go with details more than needed. Wish u find a full answer for ur questions.

Bhai,
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. But I was feeling pity as you were not trying to understand. I clearly answered your question about non Muslim in USA. He can listen to live TV broadcast from Haram or any other Majid as hearing directly from a human or listening a live broadcast are almost the same. Only we have to refrain from hearing CDs or tapes. I hope I have made the matter clear now. M J Iqbal |

She lives in LA brother, not in Karachi, Cairo or Jeddah, there is no live TV with Quran at 8-9 PM (bed time).
Or do we have to make a Quran TV studio before the bed time come?
But I guess hire a Qory is much cheaper and faster than make a Quran TV studio :)-
Yes there is live Quran TV from Saudi sattelite, however we also don't see Qari, instead we see activities around Ka'bah. Apparently, Saudi the kingdom of Islam also use dead CD's for its "live" Quran TV. Edited by semar - 26 January 2012 at 11:12pm |

Then what the shaikh says without considering the hazards of tapes
is also an opinion which is not binding on Muslims. Do you know computer media is subject to change. In this dajjali era one or more ayats of Quran can change with one instruction globally. But what humans have memorized can not change. Therefore the sharf the karmat Allah has bestowed on humans make them eligible to recite and reap benefits of the tilawa and their listeners. But tapes/cds have no such guarantee. Think about future. Why you always look backwards? Muhammad Javed Iqbal |

Muhammad I think the point the Sheikh is making is that Quran is the word of Allah, which makes it special. Therefore, is it not Allah's Word simply because it is on tape? Of course not, therefore when we listen to Allah's Words whether heard by human voice in person, radio, tape or CD...it is still Allah's Word, and beneficial -insha'Allah, to the listener. To assign more blessings to one method/mode over another needs textual evidence, and not simpy your feeling or opinion.

As Salamu Alaikum
Bhai, i wish you get polite with your posts. We are here sharing our opinions over the topic. A good and healthy discussion may help all of us here. Coming to the topic as said, reward is from Allah swt. YOU and me cannot decide if its less or more. You did not answer, as how those new muslims esp living in west and cannot reach out Masjids, Suppose if they feel like listening to Qur'an, shud they not listen thru CDs ? |

The shaikh has not addressed my question. He has answered a
different question. Yes listening to Quran is indeed rewarding providing the reader is a believing Muslim, not a dead material of tape or CD. I hope I have made my point clear. Listen to humans not plastic tapes. They are NOT the same. Man was blessed with holy Quran, not any other species. Do not make living and lively Quran an automated, mechanical soulless exercise.

Praise be to Allaah. The Qur�aan is the word of Allaah which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is mustahabb to read it and recite it frequently. This is one of the means of raising one�s status in Paradise, as it was narrated in the hadeeth of �Abd-Allaah ibn �Amr ibn al-�Aas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �It will be said to the companions of the Qur�aan (i.e., those who read it much), �Read and rise in status, recite as you used to recite in the world, for your status will be commensurate with the last aayah you read.�� Likewise, listening to the Qur�aan is also mustahabb, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) listened to the recitation of Abu Moosa al-Ash�ari, and he said to him, �If only you could have seen me when I was listening to your recitation yesterday.� And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked �Abd-Allaah ibn Mas�ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) to recite the Qur�aan to him. �Abd-Allaah said, �Should I recite it to you when it was revealed to you?� The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, �I like to hear it from others.� So your listening to the Qur�aan on CD, as you asked about, or from a tape recorder or on the radio or TV, comes under the same ruling (i.e., it is mustahabb), whether that is at home, in the car, on the bus or in any other appropriate place. So long as you focus on it and do not listen to it whilst doing something else, you will be rewarded for listening. And Allaah knows best.
