The True Reciters of the Quran: Understanding the Character and Intentions of the Believers

The Quranic Character: A Reflection of the Prophet’s Example and the Believers’ Intentions

THE TRUE RECITERS OF THE QUR’ĀN

ALLĀH says:

“And indeed, you (O Muhammad) are of a great moral character.” {Al-Qalam: Verse 4}

“Indeed, in the Messenger of ALLĀH you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in ALLĀH and the Last Day, and remembers ALLĀH often.” {Al-Ahzāb: Verse 21}

Ā’ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) said, “Verily, the character of the Prophet of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was the Quran.” {Muslim #746}

‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: “There passed by us a time when we did not think that anyone learned the Qur’an except intending ALLĀH, Mighty and Majestic.  Now lately, I fear that men learn it for the sake of people and what they have.  Therefore, intend ALLĀH with your recitation and your deeds, for we used to recognize you because the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was amongst us, and revelation used to descend and ALLĀH used to inform us of your news.  As for today, the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) has passed and revelation has been discontinued, so I only recognize you by the following.” {The Character of the Bearers and People of the Qur’an || Page 38}
