Reciting the Qur'an with contemplation and deep thinking


452

A: I advise you to have Taqwa (fear/wariness of offending Allah) in secret and in public, to hold fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) and to recite the Qur'an with contemplation and deep thinking. Seek to have a better understanding of your religion from trustworthy Muslim scholars and read the books of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) which clarify the judgments of the Qur'an and Sunnah, such as those written by Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, his student Ibn Al-Qayyim and Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Abdul-Wahhab and his children. Here are two useful titles: "Fat-h Al-Majid" and "Taysir Al-`Aziz Al-Hamid" which explain "Kitab Al-Tawhid" by Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Abdul-Wahhab. Furthermore, I advise you to beware of Bid`ah (innovation in religion), temptations and evil ideas and to ask Allah for well-being in your religion and worldly affairs.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
