Compulsory
Supplications
before
reading Qur�an
1.
Seek Refuge in Allah
Allah
says in the Qur�an
فَإِذَا
قَرَأْتَ
الْقُرْآنَ
فَاسْتَعِذْ
بِاللّهِ
مِنَ
الشَّيْطَانِ
الرَّجِيمِ
�
When you read the Qur�an, seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan,
the accursed one. (An-Nahl-16:98)
Therefore,
when we start reading the Qur�an, we must say
اَعُوذُبِاللّهِ
مِنَ
الشَّيْطَانِ
الرَّجِيم
�A�uudhu
billahi minash shaitawnir rajeem�.
�I
seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan, the accursed one.�
Then
we must start each reading with Bismillah
2.
In the Name of Allah
بِسْمِ
اللهِ
الرَّحْمٰنِ
الرَّحِيْمِ
�Bismillahir
Rahmanir Raheem�.
In
the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the most Merciful.
This
is the first Ayah (verse) of the Qur�an.
Ar-Rahmaan
and Ar-Raheem are two of Allah�s beautiful names.
Ar-Rahmaan
means �the Most Gracious�.
Ar-Raheem
means �the Most Merciful�.
Remember
that Allah has ninety-nine names.
All
the names of Allah are beautiful.
The
Qur�an has one hundred and fourteen chapters or Surahs.
Every
Surah of the Qur�an, except one begins with Bismillah.
Only
Surah at-Tawbah (chapter-9) does not start with Bismillah.
In
this surah Allah shows His anger against the Mushrikun.
