What Are the Rules of Stopping When Reading the Quran?
The words of Allah are beautiful, strong and powerful, incomparable to others, but God made them easy to read, interpret and remember. In order to be able to read and understand the beauty of the Qur’an completely, Allah has made it easy for us to read, understand and memorize it. Since long verses (verses) are easier to understand by dividing them into shorter verses, the verses of the Qur’an are divided into notes, rules, and some symbols to preserve and protect the meaning of the reader, and learn to read. Qur’an. correct spelling and rhythmic and phonetic style. This creates a single universal reading method among all readers, whether they know Arabic or not.
When reading the Qur’an, we should pause only when permitted (ie the reader takes a breath with the intention of continuing the reading). A small change in wording can completely change the meaning of a verse. Qur’an is a complex language, so it is important to learn from a good Qur’an teacher, especially if you don’t speak Arabic.
Waqf means standing. The consonant at the end of the word containing the stop is intended to continue rather than the continuation of the breath. Oh, it can be at the end or in the middle. However, it can never be in the middle of a word. It’s important to stay calm, relax, and keep your distance.
