Reciting the Qur'an in Ramadan
Dr. Ibrahim ibn Fahd ibn Ibrahim Al Wad'an
Selections from the words of Sheikh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymain (may Allah bestow
mercy on his soul)
If a knowledge seeker has set a daily program for himself [during the day or
at night] and he assigned two thirds of his time to memorize texts and
reading, and the rest should be for his food, drink, and reciting the Qur'an;
should he continue to do the same even in Ramadan? Or should he dedicate the
most of his time to the recitation of the Qur'an? Could you kindly advise? May
Allah reward you the best!
The Answer is:
What should be done in Ramadan is to dedicate most of your time for reciting
the book of Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted) because reciting the
Qur'an during Ramadan has an extra benefit and excellence that cannot be found
in any other month. Therefore, Gabriel (peace be upon him) used to come to the
Prophet (peace be upon him) and study the Qur'an with him during Ramadan
because it was sent down during that month, so this month is more entitled
than others in reciting the Qur'an.
What should be done is to recite the Qur'an frequently during that month and
to read other Shari'ah books to those who need it or memorize texts. Knowledge
does not go away after the end of Ramadan and a person can catch up the missed
reading after Ramadan.
