AmmatoelAziz Ik snap wat je bedoeld het is verleidelijk om weer te gaan slapen. Ik had vroeger de gewoonte om Qoraan te reciteren voor of na het fajr gebed, de rust en stilte is erg rustgevend. Ik probeer het weer op te pakken in sha Allaah.
Heel goed van je Allaahoema baarek dat je er overdag veel tijd aan besteedt.
Ik heb een stukje gevonden (tafsir) over het reciteren van de Qoraan ten tijde van het fajr gebed. (Het is wel in het Engels)
Bismillaah,
In the Quran itself, Allah calls the Quran recitation in prayer at the time of Fajr, a recitation that “is witnessed”:
أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا
“Establish regular prayers – at the sun’s decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony.” [17:78]
The question arises: what “testimony” does the “Quran Al-Fajr” (Quran reading/recitation before dawn) carry?
According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, the term “Quran Al-Fajr” means the Salah of Al Fajr i.e. the first obligatory prayer of the day.
It further states, “According to the version recorded in the two sahihs from Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said: “The angels of the night and the angels of the day come amongst you in successive groups (in shifts). They meet at the morning prayer (Fajr) and at the mid-afternoon prayer (‘Asr). Those who stayed among you at ascend, and their Lord asks them, although He knows best about you, “How did you leave my servants” They say, “We came to them when they were praying and we left them when they were praying.”
`Abdullah bin Masoud said, “The two guards meet at Salat Al-Fajr, and one group ascends while the other stays where it is.”
These were the comments of Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Mujahid, Qatadah and others on the tafsir of this verse.
End quote Tafsir Ibn Kathir.
This hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari has an additional line by the narrator Abu Hurairah at its end:
It is related that Abu Hurairah said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say, “The excellence of the group prayer is twenty-five times that of the prayer of one of you alone. The angels of the night and the angels of the day meet during the Fajr prayer.” Then Abu Hurairah said, “If you wish, recite إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودً – “…for the recitation of Fajr is witnessed.””
The verse of the Quran above and the relevant ahadith supplementing it indicate clearly that the time of pre-dawn is especially blessed because the angels witness the Quran that is recited in Fajr prayer.
This is because Allah has singled out the Quran recited in the obligatory “Al-Fajr” prayer, giving it a special mention in the verse above. I think that this mention itself vouchsafes for the excellence of the time of Fajr in relation to the recitation of the Quran.
Early morning hours are blessed
What we can conclude is that the time before sunrise is a great opportunity to bond with the Quran, first by reciting as much of it from memory as we possibly can in the Al-Fajr obligatory prayer, and then by further reciting it separately from the mushaf. We can follow this by reading its meanings and exegesis silently, and then pondering upon them in the quiet morning time that follows Fajr prayer. All this should not take a lot of time, as early morning time is very blessed and distraction-free.
In worldly terms also, the hour before dawn is one of the quietest and most productive times of the day, when people are only beginning to rise from slumber after a long nocturnal rest. The day’s work and household chores have not yet begun; therefore, a person’s mind is not just fresh and alert after receiving consecutive hours of night sleep, but it is also comparatively uncluttered, free from the daily schedule-related worries and distractions that occupy it during the day.
