 | | Way to the Quran-States of Consciousness-Response of Your Tongue | |
Second: Let your tongue express in words the appropriate response to what you read in the Qur'an.
Words, too, should flow spontaneously. For exclamations always flow to reflect your inner feelings as generated by the Qur'an, as they do for other emotions: cries of joy or anguish, words of thanks, love, fear or anxiety. But, again, even if it is not spontaneous, make an effort.
That is the way the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him, used to read the Qur'an during the night. Hudhayfah narrates:
One night I performed my Prayer behind God's Messenger, blessings and peace be on him. He began the reading of the Qur'an with Surah al-Baqarah . . . On every verse mentioning God's mercy he asked God for it, on a verse mentioning His punishment he sought refuge with God. On reading a verse mentioning God's uniqueness and glory, he glorified Him [saying subhanallah] ... (Muslim).
A similar description is given by Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas who once joined the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him, in his night prayers in the quarters of his wife, Maymunah, who was Abdullah's aunt (Bukhari, Muslim).
Some verses should evoke definite responses, as the Prophet has instructed. For example: Whoever reads the last verse of Surah al-Tin ]Is not God the most just of judges?] should respond with 'Bala wa ana 'ala dhalika mina 'sh-shahidin (Yes indeed, I am among the witnesses on this)'; and whoever reads the last verse of al-Qiyamah [75] shall say 'Bala (Yes, indeed)'; and whoever reads the last verse of al-Mursalat [77] should say, 'amanna billah (We believe in Allah)' (Abu Da'ud). The Prophet, blessings and peace be on him, is reported to have said that where he read al-Rahman [55] to the Jinn, whenever he read the verse fa bi ayyi . . . tukadhdhiban they said, 'No, not anything of Your blessings, Our Lord, we deny; all praise belongs to You' (Tirmidhi).
These are but a few instances from what we know of the Prophet's example and teachings. With some reflection, it should not be difficult for you to build up your own reSponses of praise, glorification, affirmation, denial, and supplication, in the light of these examples: saying alhamdulillah, subhanallah, allahuakbar, la ilaha illallah, or repenting seeking forgiveness, asking for protection from His displeasure and the Fire, and a place near Him in Paradise. | |
